L��m-Tec Abyss 600M Hands-On
While the trends seem to be turning back towards smaller watches (much to my pleasure) there will always be a place for big��nay, giant watches. Whether because you have wrists the size of tree trunks or just prefer the look and feel of big chunk of metal, there are plenty of options out there. L��m-Tec is known for��well, their lume�� but also for making some pretty sizable watches. Usually in the 43-45mm range, they are large, masculine and rugged.With one of their newest lines, the Abyss 600M, they've gone for the blue ribbon of big watches with a whopping 48mm diameter. While I doubt that the 600M water resistance is really reliant on the size of the watch (there are plenty of small watches with high WR) it does perhaps give some purpose to the scale of this behemoth. Reasoning aside, despite the fact that I'd never personally wear a watch this big, it looked so cool that I had to get my hands on one.Man, am I glad I did; this is a great looking watch.

White Faced Breitlings
I have a 2002 Navitimer 50th Anniversary edition with the black face, but have been wanted to expand out into the white-faced Breitling world, which I know is limited. Any thoughts? Post pics with suggestions!

Speedmaster 321, 861, 1861 and 1863
I have read several discussions about these movements, and I think I understand their relative merits.My question has to do with the years of transition from one movement to the other, and which movement(s) went to the moon.Additionally, I very much like the present day case design, which slightly buries the crown and protects it.Did this case design, with the buried crown, and the 321 movement ever go together?And, finally, if I could find a 321 watch, what price range might I expect, and, do present day watch makers have sufficient access to 321 parts to properly restore such a watch?Oh, wait.One more question.Does the aesthetic enhancement the 1863 movement receives, in order to make look nicer through the sapphire case back, in any way make this a better movement?OK.Enough questions, eh?Thanks.

Kinds of Patek collectors
1) Collects Sport Pateks only2) Collects Both Sport/Dressy Pateks3) Collects Dressy Pateks only4) Collects the horological complications regardless of styleI consider myself to be in 2). Because it makes sense, to have watches for different occasions. Lately I am inclining more to 1); on the premise that I wear suit once a year and there is always more opportunities in my lifestyle to wear a Sport watch than a dressy one.I used to be in 4) in the past, It was all about the movement and intrinsic value of the mechanical achievement, justifying how useful a GMT, calendars , etc could be.I guess I been in all categories except 3)Do you guys notice this patterns ?I just thought it's interesting to know style/prefrence trends.Note: I guess this could be applied to all brands, but we are in the Patek forum after all

Exp. I crown unscrewed
While wearing my Explorer 2 42mm which is less than a year old, I have a few times noticed the crown being unscrewed about 3 or 4 turns. Do you think this is a problem or just happens sometimes with the movement of wearing it. I always screw it down tight. I have only noticed this probably 3 times. But it bothers me. Any thoughts?
