PIAGET Altiplano 900P Only Watch 2015
To join the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) which affects almost 250,000 boys worldwide, Piaget has designed a unique version of its Altiplano especially for Only Watch. This watch will be auctioned off along with forty other timekeeping devices on November 7th. Famous for being the world's thinnest mechanical watch, the Altiplano model is fitted with a manual wind calibre which you can glimpse on the front and back. The slim figure doesn't allow for a dial (3.65mm thick) but the black satin-finish surface gleams in the 38mm white gold case. The hours and minutes tick by beneath two red baton-shape hands which glide over a painstakingly graduated silver ring. The hour rim switches between long single and double-thickness black indices off-centre in the top left of the watch. The power reserve lasts up to 48 hours. Unique piece �C onlywatch

Hands-On: With The Panerai Radiomir 1940 Three Days GMT Oro Rosso PAM00570
Before I start, I would like to state that this watch is big. Nay, HUGE. If you are a vintage 36 mm case lover (male or female), you may want to avert your eyes. 1 OF 6 The Radiomir 1940 3 Days GMT Oro Rosso (PAM00570) was released in April of this year and is the latest special edition from Panerai. It is the first Radiomir 1940 to feature the new caliber P.300/10 movement with 72-hour power reserve. With only 300 pieces in production, it is the newest addition to the Radimoir 1940 family and it is a good mix of flash and function. 2 OF 6 First, a brief history of the Radiomir 1940. Originally created in, you guessed it, 1940, this case was the next generation of the classic 47 mm Radiomir case, which had wire lugs. The Radiomir 1940 was created after the Italian Navy tightened up their regulations and requested a prototype that could remain under water for longer periods of time and with more extreme conditions – hence the larger reinforced lugs.Th

What is it?
Upon arriving home from a week-long journey, I found myself in possession of a new steel on steel 311.30.42.30.01.002 40th Anniversary Moon Landing timepiece. Apparently -- my wife hasn't found me so objectionable after 30 years of marriage. ;>)In looking at the back of the watch, I've noticed a small mark that's roundish in nature and appears 'frosted' in color. It is so light that I've yet to see it appear in a photo of this model. It is almost imperceptible. It appears just prior to the word THE in the wording, THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON. The large photo that I've included is stock Omega. I can't get close enough with my own camera to do justice to the explanation. It's absence in the stock Omega photo may well be just that. It is absent.From the shape, I'm wondering if it isn't the same mark (small photo) that I have seen on the back of a Schumacher model 321.32.44.50.01.001 where it's very obvious?Is this the star that I've read about that doesn't necessarily appea

Patek 5711 bezel change.
So I sent and email regarding a change of bezel. Just because I am one of those annoying guys that loves having a piece of mind before purchasing a watch for a worst case scenario event.Each Patek Philippe timepiece is unique, with specific numbers on its movement and case and is covered by a 2-year Product Guarantee. For these reasons, Patek Philippe will always prioritise an intervention on the specific timepiece instead of replacing it.Kindly notice, the case of the timepiece 5711/A is composed with a bezel and a middle case.The price for the bezel should be approximately CHF 850.-, unfortunately we are not allowed to communicate the price for the middle case.-------------------------------Now my question is this. Should a bezel change be enough to fix a deep dent in the case that cannot be polished off because of too much case having to be removed; or would this middle case also have to be changed?I don't see how it's possible to damage the middle case.Also, on that note.

Tokyo Haneda Rolex Boutique
This one takes the cake for what possibly is the saddest collection of Rolex I have ever seen at an AD. There was a Milgauss and white dial Exp II. They only had a few DDs, 2 TT Daytonas, 2 YG Daytonas and the rest were pretty much just Datejusts. I get that there is an SS shortage, but this AD was notably missing a lot of PM sports models and even selection for DDs.I'm comparison, at my home AD on Thursday, they had a lot of SS sports models minus LV, BLNR, SD43, D-Blue and DaytonaC. But they also had pretty much every other PM sport Rolex available (BLRO, Smurf, etc.) and a huge selection of DDs.
