Hands-On: With The Jaquet Droz Grande Heure GMT, With Two Hands And Two Timezones (Live Pics & P
This is a different kind of travel watch. Instead of the usual second hour hand or extra timezone disk augmenting a two or three hand configuration, Jaquet Droz has done away with all but two hands. Each tells the time on a single 24-hour scale, encouraging a more relaxed interpretation of the time. This is a travel watch designed for the gentleman on a leisurely vacation who only needs subtle reminders of about what time it is, not the man keeping a schedule to the second.With a watch that is this simple on the surface, the key is executing the details properly. And Jaquet Droz has done an admirable job here, making sure the small things are handled well. 2 OF 14 The Grande Heure GMT's asymmetrical hand geometry This starts with the shapes of the two hands. To ensure that both are legible even when they are close to one another, the broad bases have the extended tips offset asymmetrically. This means that when they are "overlapping," there is actually

Hi All
After lurking on this forum for ages, I finally took the plunge to register! A small introduction if I may? I'm an Englishman who left my home country almost 10 years ago to follow the dream in the US. After living in Chicago and Louisville, I now find myself just a shade south of Nashville. A long time watch lover, I own several Rollie's, a couple of Panerai and some Breitlings. Only having lived here for a few months, I've only been able to find a couple of PP dealers in the whole state. So, if anyone on here knows any others or a good, reputable used dealer, that would be great. I've always kept a side watch fund account, but have not touched it for a couple of years, and now really am into a PP or AP. One local dealer has a 5146J, which I adore, but even though it's new, it looks like it's been tried on by half of TN! Do you think that matters? Or am I just being stupid about wanting a sealed one? Furthermore, I've really enjoyed the hunt and am nervous of reaching its conclusion!!

Sub Date caseback openned by hand
Has anyone experienced this before? Today I accidentally managed to open the caseback of my Sub Date by hand. Not sure how long it had not been tightly screwed down. I was frightened. Fortunately to my eye the movement looks still clean. The watch has been my daily beater since 2003, though recently other Rolexes get more wrist. Since it has never been serviced I now intend to bring it to the RSC.

Buying a 5-year old new in box datejust?
Hi guys, after hanging around in the forum for last few years I've finally saved up enough to buy a 36mm datejust. While I'm browsing for what's on the market, I found a seller selling a never-worn datejust that was manufactured in 2012 (W116234BLSO, seller's disclosure). How concerned (if at all) should I be with the production date that was 5 years ago? Since it's my first time buying a rolex, and also since I've actually never seen others disclosing the production year beforehand, I'm curious what the market practice is (does official dealers also sell watches that are manufactured a few years back if they are of same model?). Is the 5 year gap is something that I should be concerned about in buying high-end watches?Thank you!
