Two New Panerai Watches Feature Linear Equation-of-Time Function
Panerai added a new complication to its lineup at SIHH 2015, and it did so in a very Panerai way: the brand’s first Equation of Time function debuts in both a new Radiomir 1940 and Luminor 1950 watch, represented on the dial by a linear scale. Scroll down to read more on the new watches, both of which boast an eight-day power reserve.The equation of time, a sophisticated astronomical complication that measures the difference between mean time and solar time (and explained in more detail here), is the signature function of Panerai’s new P.2002/E caliber, a manual-winding movement based on Caliber P.2002, the brand’s first in-house movement that debuted in 2005. The movement, with a diameter of 13 3/4 lignes, stores a power reserve of eight days in its three spring barrels.Caliber P.2002/E powers both new Panerai watches, the Panerai Radiomir 1940 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio (PAM00516), with a 48-mm case, and the Panerai Luminor 1950 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio

AP SS Discount
Hey guysBeen thinking of picking up an AP for awhile now and came across a really good deal. My question is what is the normal discount for a SS model AP?

Sending watch to Patek for service
I'm hoping some forums member have experience in sending a Patek out for servicing. Here's my story.I purchased a Patek on the secondary market in Canada. I'd like to send the watch in for service. My local AD said they needed an invoice stating taxes were paid on the watch before they can send it to Patek for service. However, I've bought this watch locally from a private seller many years ago. I am no longer able to contact the seller and request an invoice. What alternative solutions do I have to service the watch ? Am I able to send to Patek directly?

Tips for cleaning a Sub
Hello guys and gals :)I've been starting to think about cleaning my 2 month old two tone submariner.I was reading on the Rolex site that they recommend using soapy water and a soft brush.I saw other some people recommend Wristclean. I saw several members of this forum use Dawn dish soap.I also read something about using a soap that has no Ammonia in it.My question is, is there a soap that you all use that won't damage the rubber seals inside the watch and is easy to find? By this I mean something that isn't specifically made for cleaning watches like Wristclean. If so, can you please share what soap you use and why?Many thanks in advance!
