My 154500OR needs fixing.
I haven't worn it for a while, went to set the date and discovered that there is resistance when moving the date forward. Instead of being able to simply click it around clockwise the winder meets resistance and then I have to wind anticlockwise slightly then back to clockwise for the date to change.Not the end of the world as it's less than a year old, just a hassle as I have to find time to take it to AP in London to be fixed, which I expect will take a while.I've only worn it a dozen times as I prefer my gold Submariner for daily wear. My sub has been knocked around a lot and runs like a dream.Oh well. Like I say, it's not a massive deal just a bit disappointing :-( .

Chronomat 41mm/44mm/47mm
I purchased a beautiful Chronomat GMT LE 47mm recently and whilst I loved the watch, when I wore it for a few days it made my white gold Daytona seem too small.I'd then wear my Daytona (my absolute favourite watch) for a few days and the 47mm Breitling would look way too big.I therefore sold the 47mm, bypassed the Chronomat 44 and I have just purchased a beautiful Chronomat 41. This way my rotation will once again be a pleasure and not a chore having to readjust to the watch each time.47mm:Daytona:New Chronomat 41:

First: First Post. First Patek. 5524G
I am a long-time collector with varied tastes and interests. I own only one Rolex (Explorer II Polar 42mm), and up until today, no Patek. I focused on some independents, some custom pieces, IWC, AP, Omega, Germans and others. Basically, I carefully collect what hits that nerve!I was smitten with the 5524G when it was introduced. I decided then, that I would own one, but would hold off and commemorate the sale of my business with this piece one day. At that moment, there was no specific timetable. Pleased to report the business transaction was finalized very recently...so...5524G here I come!I was able to find one (NIB) at an appropriate price with little drama. I picked it up today and am very pleased. The watch has been reviewed, discussed, photographed, by so many collectors and enthusiasts that I won't do so here. But I will share my first impressions, hours old now.The size, weight and wrist presence is a perfect match for my taste. I wear mostly sport/pilot/dive watches and am com

Pam 564
Hey all!It has been a while since I have posted anything but I have been following, making mental notes and daydreaming about future purchases. Recently I have been leaning towards making the jump into Panerai. I have tried on a number of different models and finally found the best fit for me with the 564. The problem is, I cannot find any information other than a few reviews on some well known websites done in 2014. I'm not planning on flipping this but I am a fairly frugal person and definitely not known as spontaneous. Half of the fun of making a new purchase is doing the research and reading the reviews from other WIS members like you all here.With all that that being said, does anyone have any intimate knowledge about the 564 and/or reviews?Thanks for the help in advance!
