Cartier has replaced traditional metallic springs with fiberglass springs
Cartier has replaced traditional metallic springs with fiberglass springs, a horological first. Replacing the traditional metal alloys inside the barrel eliminates at least two problems that for centuries have been plaguing all mechanical watches: the uneven torque (from high to low as the spring unwinds) and energy-sapping friction between spring and barrel.

Is the PAM 380 still in production?
if no, when was it discontinued?

Incoming! Yas!
Hi guys, my first 2018 incoming! let's play a guessing game... I've been wanting this one on and off a few years now. I think 2 years ago, this was always available in the shelves of ADs. I've always passed it up as I figured I have others on my list I wanted more. Of course that was then. Fast forward 2018, this is now not as easily available in the ADs, in fact, it's got its own wait list. Today I called a local AD to see what he has in stock, he said he had this watch available but was named after another client when it came up in conversation. He stated that he will call the other client to see if he is still interested as he has been holding it for 3 days now (wow I didn't know ADs held watches for that long, another AD was only willing to hold something for me for 24 hours max) Anyway, g'head and guess!! Ps, the ADs manager gave me a hat with my purchase. Had a really good first purchase experience. He added that he leaves for Basel in a week. I hope that they can supply be more

Tag 6000 Chrono
Ok guys I need some opinions. I have my first what I would call a nice watch that I bought probably 20yrs ago. It's a Tag Heuer 6000 Chronograph Quartz. I just had it's serviced directly at Tag and spent $780. It looks basically new now. The problem I have is that I never wear it anymore and it just sits in my watch box. My question is should I sell it? It doesn't really have any sentimental value to me, but I just spent almost $800 to have it serviced. I wouldn't even know what it's worth. I don't have kids so that's not an option. I could give it to one of my older brothers, he's not a watch guy but seems to only like my Rolex watches. So what's the consensus, any opinions?

Sell sub today to upgrade in July?
Hi all - someone is offering me 90% of retail price for my 4 months no date sub. I was thinking I should sell now considering so much news of the 3235 version coming in July. What do you guys think? What would you do?
