Shinola Runwell Chronograph 41mm Watch
Shinola is very likely a brand that needs no introduction to readers of this site. They seem to be one of the few bright spots of good news hailing from my old stomping grounds of Detroit. They've released a variety of well-designed leather goods, bicycles, and three-hander watches. On the watch front, they're upping the ante by adding a new size to one of their more popular models, the Runwell Chronograph.It's not surprising to hear that the new model is simply called the Runwell Chrono 41mm. As with their other models, this is a quartz-driven piece. This model uses their Argonite 5021 movement, which is assembled from 84 components provided to them by Ronda. This movement is housed in a fully polished 41mm stainless steel case. The overall feel of this case is one of compactness. You don't have a lot of extra steel to the edges of the dial - just the bezel, and then its onto the side of the case.And, for this model, that's where things really shine. ?Prior to this model being introdu

First AP! FC 44mm
Just joined the club...Love the carbon case, ceramic bezel, and the contrast between the case and bezel. The pushers and guard pieces also make this watch special.Flies low under the radar.Many thanks to Tony (justrolexes) for quickly getting this watch to me, and taking the extra step to making everything perfect.

A different look..?
Dark grey with light stitching.

Acquiring my first Patek - question
Hello Patek lovers,I own mostly Rolex but have been enamored by Patek for a couple of years now. The piece that really speaks to me is the Nautilus 5711 in stainless. Unfortunately I am slowly finding out the more I inquire it is some kind of a unicorn piece, very hard to come by. This is a big investment for me and I want to try to purchase a brand new piece. My question to you Patek lovers and collectors out there is two-fold:1. Is there a way I could try to purchase a new piece within the US without waiting more than a few years say?2. If I had to pass on the 5711 due to lack of availability, would there be another piece that exhibits similar design characteristics within the say $30,000 price range?Thanks in advance for your time.Bharat

372 or any pams with sail cloth?
I just thought about this. I'm sure someone has had a sail cloth strap made for a Pam right? I'm a sucker for the strap on the fifty fathoms and thought it would look great on a Pam.
