PAM 48 question
Hello all, I see some Panerai PAM48 models have automatic on the bottom of the face and some don't.Can someone please explain this...Is this watch a winding watch or an automatic watch with movement? I am so new to this topic so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!

Incoming from Tony(JUSTROLEXES)!! Got the Blues!!
I spent years wanting a Daytona 116520 black dial, it's a large chunk of change for a watch, a nice-to-have, and I always kept putting off till next week, or next month, which turned into next year, yada yada yada.Then I'd get the bug again and look at Submariner's, thinking it's a little easier pill to swallow, then waffle again to just bite the bullet and wait to pay for the Daytona.Toss in during the years a Tag, an Omega SM, and a Longines, all Chrono's, to lighten the symptoms but never cure the disease.... Recently looking through this fantastic site, I came really, really close to the Datejust 41, smooth bezel, blue face as my next watch, but always heard this voice in my head:How can you own a Rolex without owning a Submariner?And then I saw a Rolex Bluesy, and much research began, and I realized I had to have the 5 Digit 16613 Bluesy...took my breath away, and it completes me.....The countdown begins, from San Diego to Toronto....tracking to be at my door by tomorrow afternoon

SAVVI Rolex
How have you been Savvi w/your collection or in this hobby??Wanting to hear your creative ideas, along with your experiences as a watch enthusiast!I've been a watch enthusiast since 1990 and am lucky enough to have obtained a luxury piece or 2 along the way. Am not flush with money so my fine watch collection will never go beyond 1-3 pieces. However, I still want to play the game as I acquire/rotate and trade. I typically hold on to a piece anywhere from 5-10 yrs. but have now (I think/hope) found 1 keeper among my current 2.* I think Savvi Formal wear is on to something...they know prom/weddings are special occasions but many don't hold onto that tux. Rental car Co's./Car manufacturers same thing...have used them for necessity or Saturday play time. I've borrowed/loaned watches to/from a relative for us to have a new/fun experience. Also, have had my AD take pics of dream watches on my wrist. I'd be thrilled to rent a Rolex... seriously...just kidding. ** Please share ways you have k

Thoughts on Rolex ADs In China?
What are your thoughts on Rolex ADs in China? I'm thinking of picking up a watch while I am here in Beijing and two thoughts come to my mind: (1) there are so many fakes in China, what if a salesperson gives me a fake one; and (2) will buying from a Chinese AD hurt my resale value as people may question the authenticity of the watch. Also, I am in Beijing if that makes a difference. All comments are greatly appreciated.
