Don't want to insult a friend..
Image1461414355.134168.jpgImage1461414367.056420.jpgImage1461414380.812819.jpgWe were talking watches yesterday and one of my friends pulled out his offshore.Now I don't want to insult him and because I am not 100 % sure I was hoping that one of you guys could help me out here.Or this is a very special piece..Or it's not even worth looking at it..The pushers, the 2 and 3...??My alarm bells are ringing..CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE?He's not trying to sell me the watch or something like that and this friend has many good high end watches so to have a fake one is not his style. Therefore I am confused. Maybe he got ripped off. Also a pic of my 2014 Navy.I am getting the 44mm steel/ceramic soon :-)Love AP!Cheers!Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met behulp van Tapatalk
Clear back on Omega watch original?
Does Omega offer a clear back as an original on a new watch? My wrist really wants to see the movement...
Font used by Patek for it's logo: Monotype Grotesque Regular
[I searched the forum, but it looks like this hasn't been covered before]Seeing the new PP book with the font so largely printed got me wondering what the font was... A quick Google search provided the answer: Monotype Grotesque Regular. The best links are on Wikipedia Foundry was an American company that developed a machine for typesetting, and Grotesque is one the fonts that was produced there, around 1926. It did not do as well as other Monotype fonts like Futura and Gill Sans, which had a cleaner look.Perhaps someone can identify the first use of this font by PP?J
5 seconds fast?
Just got my 2009 Rolex DJ serviced at a very reputable local vintage watch store for $400 for the first time. Took it to AD immediately afterwards and they said it was running 5 seconds fast. Is it worth it to take it back to the shop to have them recalibrate the time?
