Complicated All-Wood Watches By Valerii Danevych
Ukrainian Valerii Danevych makes wood watches with actual wooden movements. "It's a functional work of art." ?This is a phrase that can sometimes be thrown around with reckless abandon - especially when it comes to our beloved watches. ?To be sure, mechanical watches - regardless of their vintage - are engineering marvels, given that they give us a miniature machine that tracks the passage of the day. ?We've recently caught wind of some mechanical watch designs that are very worthy of being called works of art - and functional ones at that.First things first - yes, these are truly made of wood. ?But make no mistake - these are quite different from other wooden watches that have hit the market from companies like WeWood?, Sprout?, or assorted Kickstarter projects.?

Hands-On: With The Patek Philippe 5140R And 5140P, Classic Perpetuals Both With New Dial Options For 2014

Since then, the 5140 has been shown in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold with brown dial, and platinum with a blue dial. 2 OF 4 The platinum case with a galvanized black dial features

Has anyone tried a deployant on the diver or new offshore chromo?
I am thinking about getting a new strap for a forged carbon diver. AP makes a 29mm x 20mm strap for the new chronos (20mm at the buckle), and there are now both tang and deployant options. Has anyone tried the deployant? Thanks!

PAM 510 vs PAM 359
Hi guys! A newbie here!Wich one will u choose between a new PAM 510 and a used 359I have been reading the forum and seems like the new 510 doesn't come with the sandwich dial and the 359 is discontinued, so I can't buy it new.Regarding the movement I won't be wearing it everyday and taking into account that it will be my first Panerai I believe I have to go with a traditional manual movement. What do you think?Tks!PD: I have rewrote this post because seems like the moderator is not allowing me to post values of the watches?
