Introducing the Defakto Struktur
There are a few brands out there whose every release excites us. Whether it's due to infrequency (thus making every release a big deal) or sheer style, we always look forward to their releases. Defakto is one such brand for… well, both reasons actually. They release one maybe two watches a year, and though they tend to be subtly different than the last, are always a delight to view. Recently, they released their "modular" series (one of which I am wearing while writing this, and I can say without a doubt it's their best to date… but more on that in a few weeks) and just today they announced another new line, the Struktur.Following up their first quartz watch, the Detail, the Strukur utilizes the same 40mm x 6.6mm thin case, but introduces something totally new to the Defakto catalog; 3-hands.

panerai service @ richemont q

I suppose if it is Low amplitude it is just oil evaporation.BTW my Patek which I bought new in 98, and used for years, was tested a few months ago because I thought it must need a service by now, was found to be perfect, and not in need of even re-lubrication. Hmm.
