Panerai PAM305 Luminor Submersible 1950 Dive Watch Is Surprise Hit
Panerai's new P9000 automatic movement line was the star for the watchmaker at SIHH this year. The entry level in-house made movement is meant to be a friendly rugged machine with function and reliability in mind. This is particularly seen in the watches that the new movement line showed up in. My favorite of which is this PAM00305 (PAM305), also known at the Luminor Submersible 1950.

Need some help on a gift for my mother's 60th birthday
My mom is tuning 60 and I'm looking at getting her an AP. Let me start with a little background. My mom is the hardest working person I've ever met in my life. My parents got divorced when I was 2 and my mom raised me. We lived in a 1 bedroom apartment for years while she worked full days and got her college degrees at night. She earned her bachelors and masters and now manages the OC office for one of the top 10 law firms in the US. My mother and father ended up getting remarried when I was 12 and they had two more kids.

She also watches both of my young kids when my wife needs a break (1-2x per week) even though my mom still works 50+ hours a week. I want to get her a gift for her 60th that she will enjoy for many years to come and she would never get herself. I'm thinking of getting her a Lady Royal Oak in rose gold with diamond bezel or the new rose gold lady millen

Best Rolex Encyclopedia Books
I keep looking at the advert from Mondani books, and on Amazon but the prices seem a little high. I even tried to get a copy of one of the books from the library, but there was only one copy in the Library of Congress. Any decently priced Rolex books available on Amazon?
