WATCH WINNER REVIEW: Minus-8 Layer
We thank Michael K. for his pictures and watch winner review after being the lucky recipient of the Minus-8 Layer watch our October 2014 watch giveaway.? Don't forget to enter this month for a chance to win a Maurice Lacroix Pontos S dive watch here.The Minus-8 Layer is not a watch I would have normally picked, so I decided to use the generous opportunity provided by Mr. Ariel Adams, watches-dealer, and Ms. Natalia Daniel (a delightful woman with PCH/MINUS-8), to take a leap. I've been intrigued by blackout dials for some time, but always wondered about reading the things, and the Minus-8 Layer seemed to have an edge.When I set it in my watch box amongst the divers, retro Russians, and MIP-PRF roughnecks, I was reminded of a line from Mel Brooks' classic Blazing Saddles: What's a sophisticated urbanite like you doing in a place like this? It's sleek and retro/future in a cool Blade Runner sort of way. An obvious eye for detail and design went into this. It's got a solid if unpretenti

Poll: New acquisition input
First, I'd just like to say this: The new TRF Patek forum has the same impact as the Rolex discussion forums. Serious case of what I call Watch Acquisition Syndrome (WAS). We all need help and this is the most dysfunctional group therapy session ever. Anyway, I want to get some input on my next PP purchase.I'm looking at the following:* 5140P or J: I fear it is too close in appearance to my 5146P, which I absolutely love and am unlikely to get rid of (among the reasons is the beautiful dial finish/color, unique to that model). But I love the watch for its functionality.* 5960P (gray dial): A modern PP icon. Beautiful. Some people say, Well the chronograph function is useless to most. Get a Patek 5205. No. I don't care. I'll use it to time eggs or something.Champagne problems for sure. Options I've discarded:* 5270G: Amazing watch. Totally different price point. Would be difficult to justify to my fiance and to a certain extent, myself. I'm relatively young (32), and something tells me

Interesting video looking inside of a Rolex Deepsea
Some may have already seen this video, but I thought it was a pretty cool view of the Deepsea. I've seen the Rolex diagrams, but had never actually seen someone remove the titanium piece from a Deepsea. It's also a nice sneak peek at the 3135. something I'd do to my personal watch, but it gives me an appreciation for the level of machining and design of the watch. If you didn't know, you'd think that the steel ring and titanium were one piece because they sit so flush together. I also didn't realize there was no threading on the titanium, pretty cool.
