Interview with Steve Laughlin of Benarus Watches
It's no secret that the Worn&Wound staff has enjoyed the watches created by Raven and Benarus, as well as their accessories division Suppa Parts. The affiliated companies (by partners Steve Laughlin and Ralf Schreiner) are known for watches that draw from past designs as well as looks that are very original. In the past, we've reviewed the Raven Deep, Raven Vintage, Raven Deep Tech, and Benarus Megaladon and have been generally impressed with the looks, finishes and technical achievements.We had the opportunity to ask co-owner Steve Laughlin, who is based in Overland Park, Kansas, about the past of Raven/Benarus/Suppa and where the companies are heading.

Patek 5205G opinions, please.
Hi all,I'm thinking about adding another Patek maybe early next year. I tried on the 5205g gray at my AD and was very impressed with it. The AD doesn't have the black version so I'm waiting till he gets another one in so I can compare the two. What do you guys think? 5205g gray or black? I'm also considering the Lange 1 moonphase in platinum. Thoughts on the 5205g vs. Lange1 would be helpful also. Thanks!
