Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica
The case on the new Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica is made of zirconium oxide ceramic, a very hard material that is resistant to corrosion and scratching. The case is formed using an isostatic pressure process that produces a single block ready for milling. The 44mm case requires over 60 operations to complete. The screw-down back is titanium with a sapphire window opening onto the P.2003 automatic movement. The movement – designed and manufactured in-house by Officine Panerai – offers a 10 day power reserve, the status of which is displayed via a linear display on the trademark sandwich dial. This reference PAM00335 will be produced in a limited series of 500 pieces with a European MSRP of 12,900 euros. The launch is scheduled for September 10.Additional information appears below the image, which may be enlarged with a click.LUMINOR 1950 10 DAYS GMT CERAMICA �C 44 MMMovement: Automatic mechanical, Panerai P.2003 caliber, executed entirely by Panerai, 13? lignes, 8.0 mm t

Vintage Speedy Mk II - Strange Time Loss Pattern?
For a vintage watch, my old 1969 Speedy keeps almost perfect (- 5 seconds in 14 hours) time when wound up & then laid face up on a flat surface, but whilst still very accurate given it's age, looses time at slightly over twice rate that when worn.Any thoughts?

My AD has a TT Sky-Dweller Available
For anyone who might be interested, my northern California AD has a TT Sky-dweller with white dial available and on display in the case. They don't allow phone or internet sales. They require that the buyer pay in person in their store (although you may be able to place a short-term hold on the watch by phone). PM me if you want more info.
