7 Must-Visit Swiss Watch Museums
There are �� of course! �� many reasons to visit Switzerland, but if you are into watches, a Swiss trip should feel a bit like Heaven on Earth (for you, that is; perhaps not for your fellow travelers who don’t share your passion equally).Along with the many great watch shopping (and window shopping) opportunities, Switzerland is also, as you would expect, home to many great watch museums. Unfortunately, some of the most fascinating collections are “by appointment only” and therefore require a bit of planning ahead (as with the museums of Longines, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, etc.). In this article, we introduce you primarily to some of the most interesting Swiss watch museums that all have regular visiting hours. Here are my top seven:MIH �C The Mus��e international d'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds houses one of the world’s largest collections of watches and clocks. It is open six days a week from 10 AM to 5 PM (closed on Monday) and offers the perfect start

Hands-On: With The Patek Philippe 5980/1R-001, The Nautilus Chrono In Rose Gold Gets A Bracelet
The 5980 is Patek's Nautilus Chrono - a favorite of many. Long has it been available in rose gold on a leather strap, but just yesterday it was unveiled in an absolutely monster form factor - that with a solid rose gold bracelet. The watch is absolutely awesome (if you're into rose gold), and it wears like a ton of bricks, in the best possible way. This isn't a watch for anyone that isn't sure about themselves, or their position in life as a true OG, because the 5980/1R-001 is a lot of gold. But, if you're THAT guy, this is THE watch to wear. You know what we mean. Price will be $91,400. Boom. 2 OF 3 3 OF 3

Service costs
How much does it cost to service a 15450 vs a 15202?Also how often do you need to service an AP?

Speedmaster reserve...
How long will yours run on say 40 crown turns without wearing it? Seems like i dont get much reserve out of mine... I am doing a test with my Rolex and my Speedmaster to see which one will last longer on 40 turns...I think my speedmaster probably needs a service. Do you guys send your speedmasters to OMEGA for service or to a trusted watch maker?

Rotor movement question
How freely should the rotor move on a 335?I've noticed that my normal activity (commute via bicycle to and from work ~12min each way) and walking around work all day (estimated to be 10-20K steps/ day), do not seem to be keeping my recently acquired pre-owned Panerai 335 wound. When viewed through the see-through case back the rotor does not swing as freely as several of my other watches.I do have an identical movement 273 but it is in a safe a few states away from me currently so I do not have the ability to compare at the moment, but from memory, the rotor on that watch moves much more freely.The watch is keeping excellent time - not formally tested, but with 2 weeks of daily wear I have not noticed any creep forward or backward in time shown, no matter the state of power reserve.With the current litany of complaints about Panerai Service Center, I'm a bit loathe to send the watch in unless this is a real issue.
