Perrelet Turbine Chrono Watch
For 2013 Perrelet will be adding a chronograph version of the Turbine to the popular watch collection. Originally released several years ago as a sort of test sport watch, the Turbine became quite popular and has since spawned a lot of versions, including the original 43mm wide size and later a Turbine XL 50mm wide size (see a full review here). Given the design of the dial and the moving "turbine" that spins with the motion of your wrist, it didn't seem possible that Perrelet could offer additional complications.So I think it is pretty cool that they managed to incorporate a central chronograph to the Turbine. The issue of course is that on a watch like this you can't have subdials (as they would look silly being blocked by the turbine), so Perrelet developed a special central chronograph that measures 60 minutes. The dial's central seconds hand is for the chronograph, and there is no dedicated seconds hand for the time. Minutes are counted on a moving sapphire crystal disc. Minutes a

Patek event. (Warning pic heavy)
So, tonight I had the honour, fortune and joy of attending a Patek event at my local AD, they had a combination of fine food and champagne, and the watches that dreams are made of. Basel 2016 releases and classics (Except 5711). One of the staff kindly reminded me that the chances of having this volume of pieces in the same room together again are slim to none. So i was encouraged to seize the opportunity and enjoy it! Pictures below for you all to enjoy. I would love to upload all the pictures I've got but I've got loads. So instead here's what I've considered my favourites!Quality isn't great but that's mostly the lighting. Enjoy!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Panerai I've never seen before
I recently saw one of my physicians wearing, what looks to be a panerai (pam312). But, it was a white dial and had a date magnifier. Any clue what it is???

Tudor Warranty
I returned my Tudor Black Bay recently for a warranty repair. Watch was bought new and is still under the 2 year warranty. The crown had pulled out and stopped functioning properly. I returned the watch through Mayors a local Tudor dealer. They just called to say that the crown is not covered under warranty because it is aesthetic. I would appreciate any feedback or input on this response and/or any similar experience. I cannot find any small print as to what the Rolex/Tudor warranty does or does not cover but this response is hard to understand.

LadyDatejust advice please
Hi all, I have asked about this elsewhere and the verdict wasn't good.However the Ms is still smitten. So hoping for some advice as to whether it all seems right for the model and year?MsMaker would like a watch to wear on occasions and going out. She has a bimetal Datejust purchased earlier this year but has a hankering for a solid yellow gold watch. Visiting an AD this week we saw a gold DJ in a nearby jewellers. We have used this jewellers before and found them to be pretty good in the past. Unfortunately we were pressed for time (me trying on lots) so didn't look at the watch closely, only in the window. I can find similar models cheaper/dearer online but we prefer to buy from a local (ish) shop. So basically what should I look for in particular on this model if we go back to look at it, are there any known weak points or problems? Any advice from those more knowledgeable (most I suspect) than me is much appreciated. ThanksThis is the watchjohnbulljewellers.co.uk/pre-o...lady-8586
