Tools of the trade - working in miniature
I guess like most TRF members I'm astounded by the skills and patience needed to design, make and repair PP movements. I've always loved working on first push bikes, then later motorbikes and finally cars and to this day still treasure my Snap-On toolbox and tools.But there us something about the size of the parts in a mechanical watch that astounds me - parts are so small that they are barely visible even through a glass and the care needed at every stage is simply beyond anything I can imagine ever being able to undertake.Simple strap and bracelet changes/adjustments are about my limit (and then not on my PP's). Even then the tools needed are miniature.Interested to hear the level other TRF's have gone to to learn more - perhaps even working on their own pieces and the specialist tools they use?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What would you choose? A 5036/1G or 5040J?
First post on the forums! I've been a member since November but have been lurking and learning a whole lot. Went from a set of forgettable Movados to a small collection of timepieces that serve very specific purposes in my simple life: right now I have a 3940P, 5711/1A, 3919J and a Rolex 114270. The people in this forum helped a whole lot in terms of helping me field sources, choosing between ADs and greys, etc. - for this, many, many thanks!I'm looking to add another piece to my set and I'm faced with an interesting decision:1. The 5036/1G - annual calendar in white gold. I like the metal bracelet (helps that it's a whole lot of gold, too), and I love the calendar and moonphase function. Metal bracelets would be very welcome when things heat up during the Spring and summer - leather straps just don't last given my sweat patterns and volume!2. The 5040J - tonneau case perpetual calendar. To lower the price and make it comparable to the 5036/1G option I'll need to trade in my 391

Would you trade a 5711 for a 5980?
I am thinking about trading a 5711 towards a 5980. I like the depth of the 5980 but I like the classic feel of the 5711. The ideal choice would be to have both, but I would only like to have one nautilus. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
