Dagaz Aurora Hands-On
The Dagaz Aurora dive watch is a mash-up of styles and is a refreshing departure from the pack of micro-brand divers that play it safe design-wise. The Aurora represents a very personal take by Jake Bourdeau, the owner of Dagaz Watch Ltd. (10watches), who came up with the design while vacationing?Macau and took home some solid winnings at the casinos."The inspiration for the piece came to me on my vacations in Hainan where we go scuba diving, and Macau, which is known as the ��Monte Carlo of the Orient' with its casinos and Grand Prix racing," he said. "The watch is, of course, first and foremost a dive watch, and is heavily inspired by both racing and casino influences, showing in the vintage rally diver feel and the roulette wheel dial."The Aurora feels like you're wearing a watch that can go on an adventure. It's a watch that attracts attention, but doesn't call for it. My officemates, who never say anything about my variety of watches, commented positively on the Aurora and a repeat

Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Automatic MKII
The Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Automatic MKII is a contemporary take on a classic dress watch that mixes together a lot of remarkable components at an even more remarkable price. The MKII is a follow up to, you guessed it, the MKI, which was one of C Ward's first watches, and one of the first watches on the market to have achieved "such sublime quality being made available at such an accessible price." The MKII takes much of the aesthetic of the original, puts it in a case that is 1mm wider, and simplifies the dial a bit. The watch features a veritable laundry list of great components such as a sapphire crystal, a decorated Swiss Made Selitta SW200-1 movement, a display case back, nice finishing and trust worthy build quality for the very tolerable price of $365?415 550.Based on the components alone, you are clearly getting a great value. The fact that the C Ward brand has proven over and over again (to us) to make high quality pieces and offer really great customer support in their C

Here I go again...
I have become a chronic flipper, often buying again I watch I sold in the past, seems like I just can't resist the urge to own something else and since funds are limited I always flip something.I've flipper too many watches and brands to list here, but the issue is this:I flipped a Speedy Pro (hesalite) to buy a Pam111I liked the Pam a lot, but missed the Speedy too much, so I sold itOnly to buy another Speedy ProNow I miss the Pam too much, but don't want to flip the SpeedySo I'm thinking of springing for a pre-loved PamI wanted a base, either Luminor or Radiomir, but yesterday I was offered a Pam024 which I have never liked and never considered.But once I tried it, it was all over right then and there, I just had to have it. It's amazing how something I thought I didn't like becomes all of the sudden an obsession.So, the price is reasonable, the watch is in good condition and buying would not jeopardize my financial stability.Would you?Never been a fan of submersibles, they always se

My Pam 312 looks like its dead
I have a 312 that is not working at all. The second hand isn't even moving. The only thing that spins is the half circle that says panerai. Any ideas is it a quick fix, or does it have to be sent in for surgery. What's the warranty on it, and do I just go to an AD and drop it off or send it directly to Panerai. I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance
