A lucky find
The Royal Oak Sydney to Hobart Limited Edition Of 20, circa 2000. The dial colour and rotor honouring the Cruising Yacht Club Of Australia. Size 36mm.

Feeling sad today.
This kinda strange feeling when you walk in the AD with a 15300 but walk out without it. I had to leave her at the AD in order for apsc to proceed with the B1 test and then give it another year of warranty.Lucky enough I left home with my trusty sub in the Oakley vault so when I removed the 15300 and handed it over to my usual sales rep, the sub was there and ready.Now the hardest part, the waiting.

Caring for a Breitling
So how do you guys care for your 'Lings? Do you use a winder? What if you actually use it for diving, how do you care for it after exposure to salt water? What do you use to clean a Breitling, just to get off the grime that accumulates after extended periods of daily use? Do you guys have any secrets or tips that you're willing to share? This is my first expensive time piece, and I really love it, so I want to make sure it stays well maintained. Thanks for any and all responses.

PAM00590 v PAM00111
I've lusted after a Panerai for some time and have 'almost' decided on which one:Luminor (100% sure)Manual Wind (Was fairly keen on the 312 until I read about 'some' noisy rotor and 'some' poor timekeeping).44mm (7.5'' wrist) and a daily wearer.Sandwich Dial (90% sure)My questions are: Does the 590 have a sandwich dial?Is the p.5000 movement a good timekeeper/ proven and is it 'better' option than the PAM111 'exclusive' movement.I like the idea of an 8 day but prefer to have the sandwich - I think.Any advice gratefully received.I hope to join the 'Paneristi' club soon. Thanks.

Upmost thanks to TRF, you did good.
I just wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone who frequents this forum with regularity, without your wisdom I could not be as happy as am I today. (And if you're just here for the thanks skip to the last paragraph because I'm going to rabble a bit first.)I've owned one watch for a very long time, a Tag Heuer my dad bought for me on my 13th birthday (more on that later.)For a long time I thought good watches were crazy expensive, shiny things that I would never be able to understand, but over time and lots of research I started to understand them for what they are.Ingenious works of technology that should be cherished and loved (and worn and used) as the tools that they are, not something to be bought and hidden away.The more time I've spend looking at your posts the more I've come to realise the these things are treasures to be worn and used, so after many other ��toy' watches (and I mean that affectionately, like the Tag Heuer Monaco I loved dearly) I decided to buy my first Ro
