Question about the GMT and Diver bezels
Please bear with me, I've never owned a watch with a rotating bezel before.I've searched and read a number of threads about loose bezels, wobbly bezels, bezels that pop off easily, bezels that are misaligned, bezels that spin too easily and bezels with play in them. So, let me be clear on what I have noticed with my new Seamaster GMT. First, here is what seems to be right with the bezel:It does not want to pop off;It's not misaligned;It's not loose nor does it spin easily;It clicks sharply as it is rotated;It does not wobble;It does not seem to want to lift up or pull away from the case easily;It seems to fit tightly on the case;It seems perfect except as noted below.So, here's what I've discovered. With the 24:00 hr bezel marker set exactly at 12 o'clock and holding the case in my left hand, if I place the tip of my right index finger at the 24:00 hr marker and tip of my right thumb at the 12:00 hr marker and apply pressure fore and aft, the bezel moves very, very slightly fore and

Is the Patek 5205 a dress watch?
Conventionally, dress watch should be very slim so it can hide under the sleeves and be very basic two or three hands, mostly no date. My 5205 strictly speaking doesn't seems to be fit that category. But it does fits under a shirt sleeve. The Calatravas are the official dress watch line for PP. So what is the 5205? Casual watch? Sports watch? What do you think? Well, anyway, it gives me an opportunity to share the above picture.

5140G vs. 5396G
I was hoping to start a discussion on the relative merits of these two pieces. Yes, it is an apples to oranges comparison since one is a perpetual and the other an annual, but I am interested in people's thoughts on both pieces across multiple factors that they consider when buying a watch.I personally think, with nothing else considered, that the 5396 is more aesthetically pleasing in the simplicity of the dial. There is no denying that the aesthetics of the 5140 were intentionally sacrificed in order to keep the watch as small and as thin as possible (the 5140 is 37.2 mm width and 9.2 mm thickness vs. the 39 mm and 11.5 mm of the 5396), which is part of the charm of the watch, so my opinion on the loss of aesthetics is tempered with this knowledge. Aesthetics aside, the 5140 is a perpetual and the 5396 is an annual with quite a differential in cost between both watches.IMO, both watches have an understated elegance that belie their level of complexity. What do other people think of

SD43 or SS Sky Dweller
I have the SD43. It's a great watch and I like it. Comfortable, durable and modern.Next month I have the chance to get a SS Sky Dweller but unfortunately finances won't allow both watches.I had the opportunity to try on the Sky Dweller recently and it has really caught my interest.I would be very happy with either - what would you choose?SD43?Sky Dweller? (Blue dial).
