Back to the Past: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra Thin 1948
The iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso has had many incarnations since its debut as a watch for polo players in 1931. One of the most recent is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra-Thin 1948, a classically elegant watch that revives the look of the Reverso model that heralded the style of the 1950s.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra-Thin 1948 is distinguished from other Reverso models by the inscription “Fabriqu�� en Suisse” (“made in Switzerland”) on the dial, just below the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo, a nod to the 1948 original. The traditional Reverso swiveling case, with its Art Deco-inspired rectangular shape and distinctive gadroons, is made of stainless steel. True to its name, the watch is very slender, just 7.3 mm thick despite its contemporary large dimensions (46.8 x 27.4 mm).?

luxurious Glashutte Original Senator Chronometer Watch
Here is a traditionally nice timepiece with some less than obvious technical qualities that make it more enjoyable than you would be suspicious at first glance.

Glashutte Original adopted design nicely with a subsidiary large dial seconds and power reserve indicator of top. Apart from these basic functions, the watch also has a complication of the large date, but also a small flag day and night (small hole showing light or dark, located in the lower part of the power reserve indicator.)

QoS PO & SMP or PAM 111?
I currently own a LE QoS PO. I initially intended to flip it tomorrow for a PAM 111. Today a shipment arrived and it was 3 nato straps and a carbon fiber leather strap, all which I ordered a while ago. They're 20mm and won't do any good on the PO, nor on the Panerai.I've also recently been playing with the thought of getting a SMP, a smaller watch for daily wear, which I can play with along with the natos and straps.1.jpgThe thing is I can't afford all the above. I can either flip the PO for the PAM or keep the PO and get a Quartz, black SMP.2.jpgWhat do you guys think I should do? Oh and I know this sounds lame but if the rumours are true and the next 007 would have a Rolex, would my QoS PO be any more valuable, since it's that last Bond watch?

1st Patek Purchase - Duty to USA HELP
I've been working with an AD in the EU on purchasing my first Patek and am trying to figure out what the duty would be when sending to the US where I reside. I've read conflicting percentages on different threads in this forum and want to be sure because the difference could be in the thousands.I've used the duty import calculator online that Pitney Bowes has and have come up with two different numbers between the AD and I. The calculator is confusing if you're unfamiliar. His number is quite different from mine and it almost makes the purchase not worth it, however, the number I used makes it worthwhile with the FX and VAT back. Does anyone have any experience in shipping a watch to the US? Any advice is appreciated.

Oils
Need some help with oils. There are 5 different oils needed for servicing a 3135. I see that Moebius will come to over $100. Are there alternative synthetics that are just as reliable at a lower cost? I plan on attempting a full service on My LV in the next couple of months. I have faith in myself. Thanks in advance TRF!
