Technical Perspective: Ferrari Formula 1 Engineer Disassembles A Heuer Caliber 15 Automatic Chronogr
Automatic chronographs are wonderfully complicated movements, and the race to produce the first ended with the announcement of the Chronomatic in 1969. This movement was used by Hamilton, Heuer and Breitling (to name just a few) all the way into the 1980s. Recently we were pointed to a fascinating article on OnTheDash detailing the disassembly of a Chronomatic Caliber 15, complete with scans of the official service manual. Even more interesting is who wrote this article: Gianluca – an Italian Formula One engineer for Ferrari. Check out the article on OnTheDash. 1 OF 1 Heuer Monza chronograph, powered by the Chronomatic Caliber 15 movement. ADVERTISEMENT

Not again
Hi all,Anyone had a sticking date issue twice? Just noticed this today. Had the same thing happened last year and it was fixed by Patek. 3rd issue with 2 Pateks. I'm going to bring it to my AD this weekend. Starting to lose faith in this brand.

PAM364 vs DSSD
G'day everyone.. I am just wondering what are your thoughts on the 364?I personally own DSSD and I find that watch to be amazingly wearable and macho and over engineered. However, I like really big macho watches. I am considering adding on te 364 soon. Love to hear your thoughts! I currently own 305, 328, 372 and the DSSD.HAGWE .. Jane

I��m VERY lucky with my AD
My AD operates in seasonal holiday resorts....one in the summer and another in the winter. As a result the vast majority of his sales are to tourists/passing trade. He of course has regular customers (like myself), but it is very different to a normal city AD.I have known the guy for five years now, in which time I have bought four watches from him (all SS). Whilst two of those watches were eventually sold, he knows I’m not buying to flip.I went to see him on Tuesday (knowing that he had just returned from Basel). I’m now first on his list for both the new SS BLRO and the RG TT GMT. And I absolutely believe him.Before leaving I happened to mention that my nephew is on the hunt for a BLNR. I got the call this morning to come and collect the watch. Three days ain’t bad!Moral of the story....befriend an AD somewhere seasonal.By the way...the BLNR has all its stickers on!
