This week at Watches & Wonders, Panerai has announced a considerable update to their Radiomir 1940 line-up. Alongside new 42 mm models featuring 3 Day movements, the brand has also launched the brand new Panerai 1940 10 Days GMT Automatic Oro Rosso. Featuring a sort of greatest hits of Panerai styling, this new 1940 offers the classy appeal of a Radiomir mixed with the confident presence of the Luminor and a healthy injection of useful complications.With a 45 mm red gold case and your choice of either a brown (PAM624) or black (PAM625) "sun brushed" dial, the 1940 10 Days GMT looks stunning.

AC/PC and watch winders
Hello;Currently in the market for a 5711 or a 5164 and I am drawn in by the beautiful 5146. Quick question about people who own a PC or AC: do you guys put them in watch winders? There is a concern (I presume) that it places unnecessary wear and tear on the mechanism and is a debated topic on watch forums. Thoughts?Cheers

What to check after watch comes back from service
I recently got a pre-owned day-date (thanks to freefly and others for authenticating it) and based on my research in this forum, I decided to send it to Philip Ridley for service. My intent was to make sure watch has all the authentic parts and if there is any internal issue, I get to know about it. So far, everything went well and I'm expecting to receive my watch soon.Since, I'm new in Rolex world, I wonder what to look for when I receive it. I understand, I should check:1) Overall cosmetic condition2) Tally time- I'm planning to sync watch and my iphone and then check both of their times after 24 hours. Is there any better way to do this?Also, what else I need to look for when I receive it back?Thanks for your help.

Best way to store an auto movement
Not necessarily a Rolex topic. But what is the safest or best way to store an automatic? I wear my hulk on the weekends. During the week I have it in a winder. If I decide to store it longterm, what would be good for the movement? If it's on a winder, then the movement is continually running. Would this wear the parts down and still need a servicing after 5 or more years. I've also heard some pull the crown out in the hacking position to stop the movement but I would think this would be bad for the spring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
