Ugh...the noise...the noise!!
I need to start by saying that I absolutely love my Patek 5164. The look is the perfect combination of luxury and stealth. Plus, it feels unbelievable on the wrist. The tropical strap makes it a perfect summer watch when those hot, humid temperatures would ruin a leather strap. I could go on and on singing the praises of this amazing watch. But........But I have to admit, the noise of the rotor is driving me nuts. I knew the Aquanaut had a reputation for making noise before I bought it. But I never knew it would be so audible. Truthfully, I didn't think it would be a big deal for me. In fact, I kind of thought it might be one of those little endearing traits. But having owned it for quite a while now, it's becoming a severe negative.Honestly, I don't get it. How can a watch that costs over $30k sound like a tin can? It really makes me feel like it's not a well-made product. I'm surprised Mr. Stern approved the release of a product that rattles and hums so audibly. I own se

My Panerai journey in a year...
So my obsessions with Panerai began in 2017 (late comer.. I know) I got interested in Panerai last year when I walked into a an AD and checked out the various panerai collections. Did my newb research and decided my first Panerai would be the 560. (Not the sandwich one) Then got the 564 because i wanted to see the seconds hand moving on the dial. Then proceeded with the 1305 because i wanted something more casual and something I take to go swimming in. As the year progressed and I read more about Panerai and what makes them special, the 564 started to look too smilar to the 560 and I sold it (at a loss of course, but expected to fund for a Rolex BLNR (2015 year 2nd hand). It wasn't long before i was looking for a Panerai GMT watch and the 1320 caught my eye. Took the plunge and got the 1320. Few months later... the more I looked at the 233, the more i realized that would be my Grail Panerai watch. I kept holding back from getting the 233 because the 1320 was already a GMT... but t

Rolex "Museum" in Vegas
I was checking out the Rolex Museum in the back of the Wynn (Watches of Sz) boutique. I noticed that two of the watches were reversed, meaning that the written display did not match the watch. So I kindly requested that they switch them. The first oyster was switched with the first DJ. If anyone is there, let me know if they corrected the error (not sure why I need to know this, but I do).

Will Rolex discontinue the BLNR now we have the BLRO?
I've always really liked the BLNR but now they've finally released the SS BLRO do they really need both?I can't help thinking they'll bring out an oyster bracelet BLRO next year and drop the BLNR?On a related note, what do you guys think will happen to the value and demand for the BLNR now? I can't see it losing its appeal, I can't help but love the blue and black combo even if it isn't traditional!
