M��hle-Glash��tte Teutonia II Gro?datum Chronometer Watch
Every brand needs to be known for something. In the case of M��hle-Glash��tte, the first thing that pops into my mind is humble excellence. With the M��hle-Glash��tte Teutonia II Grossdatum Chronometer, a timepiece for professionals, the German brand has further established itself as one of those sneaky-clever periphery names giving consumers a whole lot of bang for their buck.M��hle-Glash��tte has a long history. Founded in 1869 in Glash��tte, Germany, a hot-bed of horological happenings, the M��hle family set-up shop manufacturing measuring instruments. Through two world wars and countless political uncertainties, the M��hle brand grew and grew. Today, the fifth generation of leadership proudly manufactures timepieces on a relatively modest scale. I have always been a fan of M��hle-Glash��tte for their watches' unassuming competence. Where other brands may kick and scream for your attention, M��hle-Glash��tte quietly takes its cues from the market and then creates a muted model that ticks most al

Went with the diver
So I went with the diver! I've had the watch for about four days. So far, I'm very pleased and surprised by the finish of the watch. Just flat out impeccable! The slight arch of the octagonal bezel is clean and complex. The polished surfaces play nicely against the satin matte surfaces. Using gold screws to add that little pop and surprise! So far I'm gaining about 8 seconds a day. Hopefully, this levels out a bit. I'm curious how accurate your watches are?

Patek- One Year + for Service and Watch Returned With a Defect
Today, after waiting a year and 3 weeks, I finally received my Patek 5110P back from service.I inspected the watch with a loupe and to my great disappointment I notice a blemish on the 22K micro rotor, which appears to be a mark or gouge (perhaps from handling with a tool).This is incredibly upsetting and the thought of sending the watch back to wait for months for them to correct it is really upsetting. Given their standards and price point, it should be perfect. After all, the finishing of these movements is a big reason why we buy these watches, and the micro rotor is the centerpiece of the 240 movement.I have contacted Patek (HSWA) and will keep you all posted as to how they handle this. In the meantime, here are some photos I took with my macro lens. The damage is on the right side of the rotor on the edge near the right hand side screw.Apparently, the QC issues continue. If they Patek does not resolve this to my satisfaction quickly and without hassle it will be the last Pate

Panerai Pam 310
What years was the PAM00310 made?

Real mad at Rolex and ADs!!!!!!
If you think of it, a lot of us here consider it a privilege to get the mighty call to go spend $12k+ for a daytona or to be honored to make it to the blessed waiting list for a $10k hulk!!!It should really be the other way around!! When I'm spending $10k on an unnecessary item (luxury and completely unnecessary) paying premium, where the dealer is making upwards of 40% off of me I would expect to be treated with utmost respect not the stories I read here about dealers keeping those pieces for their favorite customers!! I understand the supply and demand and might understand keeping supply less (slightly) than demand to keep value but what's doing on now is crazy!! Unless Rolex messed up big time estimating their production volume for the year, they are going out of business (highly doubt it) or have a sadistic CEO I don't get it!!But for ADs to supply grey market and deprive high paying customers that I do not get at all!!!I'm just mmmmaaaaaaaddddddd There isn't any unnecessary item
