Why does Patek put Caliber 240 in watches that cost $20K and $200K...
Just wanted to bring one more perspective on the recent discussion why Patek uses the same 240 caliber in their simple Calatrava and the Sky-moon watch. Many complain that there should be a different movement in these watches. Why would Patek put a simple caliber in the more expensive watch...Well, you can also look at it from the other side. 240 Caliber is the expensive caliber. Patek could only offer it with the Sky-moon watch if they wanted and they could put something very simple and generic in the Calatrava line. Yet, they choose to put the same fancy 240 caliber in Calatrava watches so that we can have a chance to own something truly special and of the same top quality as the watch that costs hundreds of thousands dollars. Like someone pointed out, that what makes Patek a Patek and not another watch brand that can offer super complicated watches in their few limited editions and then make ETA stamped calibers for the other mortals. Patek watches are pieces of art and as such you

368?
So I thought I was content as far as Panerai goes but I primarily blame Ken's recent pics of his 217 in rekindling my interest. :bang head:I've always loved the 368 and had forgotten about it for a while. Now I'm borderline obsessing. 47mm destro in titanium.Not sure who to credit this pic to that I had saved. You don't see too many out there but feedback and opinions are appreciated.I've been looking into a few options. 368 being at the top right now. Also considering the 372 or 305 (had it for a while and loved it but sold a while back).

I Had Almost Given Up!
A month ago I decided I wanted a SkyDweller TT with the White Face. Although I hadn't purchased a watch from my local AD in many years this was my first stop. What a bunch of jerks. I would not have minded waiting for a watch but they could have treated me like a human. They had an ownership change and the difference was obvious. I then began to call the AD's that were fairly close. Every one said, sorry we haven't even seen one of those but if we had it you would have to come into the store to purchase. I was down to two more numbers one 200 miles away and one across the country in N. CA. By now I knew that the N. CA was likely a no go so I called the AD 200 miles away. Yes we have one. It came in last night. We will hold it for 4 hours. I hopped in the car and took off. It's now mine. No discount. They had to order the extra link. They did give me a Wolf 1.8 watch winder (I know nothing about). I should have the watch with the extra link in the next 2 weeks. Very Happ

Green Submariner
I purchased this green sub, the bracelet has the tin can type feel to it, but it looks like the markings, etc. are legitimate. Then I noticed on the inside of the bezel (inside the case), there is no rolex markings, just silver/stainless which threw up a flag. The second hand has the Rolex sweeping movement. Can you help me determine if I need to send this back? Is it real?IMG_4212.jpgIMG_4211.jpgIMG_4207.jpgIMG_4206.jpgIMG_4205.jpg
