Parmigiani 114 Watch Features Telescopic Hands In Homage To Antique Timepiece
I presume the above watch (update: called the Parmigiani Ovale I believe) will be officially released very soon (SIHH 2012 at the latest). It will actually be unveiled (not sure in its complete form) at a special "Mechanical Wonders" exhibition Parmigiani is involved in held in New York City from around October 26 - November 26 2011 (at the La Vieille Russie) . As you can see, the special novelty is a modern recreation of a complication that is over 200 years old - and the original solution to the short hands problem!I believe that I have actually seen the antique pocket watch below at some exhibit in Europe. Signed by Vardon & Stedmann, the beautiful piece is in an oblong gold and decorated case with an enamel dial. The real fun is in the hands. The watch makers created two telescopic hands that automatically get longer or shorter depending on where they are pointing to on the dial. Even back then there were people like me who hated short hands, and didn't want to limit themselves

David SW for all of your Patek desires!
I'm pretty new to the forum but I just have to comment on a transaction I had with David SW from Orlando. I bought a Patek 5711 blue dial from him. I traded in my sub as well. First of all the price for the 5711 and the trade in value for my sub were both very fair. Need less to say with a transaction of this magnitude I had a ton of questions for David and he patiently answered each and every one of them. The trade was smooth, on time and overall experience was fantastic. I'll be doing more transactions with David SW. However, I also want to thank all of you on this forum because after researching your opinions on David I felt very confident dealing with him so thank you all who provided me with much needed references on David SW. Happy new year everyone.Cheers!

Would you flip a Rolex 216570 polar for a Pan 392?
I have a Rolex Explorer 2 polar I'm thinking about for flipping for a Pan 392. Thoughts?

How often do you adjust your glide lock?
I am a few days into my Submariner experience and was wondering how often others use their glidelock clasp? My watch is always a little tight first thing in the morning and seems to loosen during the day. I prefer my watch to be on the snug side so I don't really adjust the clasp I just roll with it. Anyone else?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
