Xetum Kendrick Hands-On
We've discussed Xetum watches a couple of times before on worn&wound. First, with a look at their all black Tyndall, and then with a more in-depth hands-on of their Stinson model. Xetum's watches are intriguing pieces, with a distinct design that has managed to keep them fresh looking, although they have not come out with many new models. Well�� now we have the pleasure of introducing you to their newest watch, the Kendrick.Case: Stainless SteelMovement: ETA 2824-2Dial: WhiteLume: YesLens: SapphireStrap: Nylon NATOWater Res.: 100MDimensions: 40mmThickness: 11mmLug Width: 20mmWarranty: 30 day return / 2 year movementPrice: $995The Kendrick is a new model by way of a redesigned dial and different strap options that combine for a very different aesthetic. If I were to summarize the look of Xetum's other two models, the Stinson and Tyndall, I would say they are clean, elegant and conservative. They have clear military inspirations and go for a highly legible index design. The Kendrick c

Watch damage dilemma
I have managed to damage my 5170J - whilst the picture isn't the best you can see two deep indents on the edge of the case close to 3 o'clock.I think this was due to my metal cuff link banging and then indenting into the case.Whilst it looks relatively minor to the naked eye - it keeps catching my eye.The question is a) do i send it to Patek for it to be polished or b) do i leave it as it is.Do Patek polish cases without servicing a watch and will it have an impact on the resale value (although i do not have any plans to sell it) if it has been refurbished?Any input is appreciated.

Bronzo question
Hey guys,New collector here. My buddy is offering me his PAM382 for $19k without box and papers. It also has an aftermarket strap.I am 100% sure it is real. My friend lost the box, papers, and OEM strap in a recent cross-country move (he is very unhappy about it!), and is now looking to downsize his collection. Would any of you take the deal?

Does the release of 126710 BLRO signify the gradual phasing out of 116710 LN & BLNR?
I have noticed that GMTs that have been newly released bear the 1267xx designation and new 3285 movement. It would be interesting to see what happens to the 1167xx models in SS that are still on offer as they remain as 1167xx. Will they bear the 1267xx in the future or will they be phased out? Of course the same goes with the TT and PM models of the line.I guess that we will transition to the 3285 movements and 1267xx at some point in time. Interesting times ahead for the GMT line.Also will the 3186 movements of the (now) past command crazy premiums?
