Panerai’s New Luminor Has Antimagnetic Case
Panerai‘s newest Luminor Submersible model debuts a new technological innovation for the brand: a special case construction that ensures a high level of resistance to the magnetic fields, omnipresent in everyday life, that can disrupt or even stop a watch’s movement.The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic Titanio-47 mm (referred to more succinctly as the PAM00389) has a specially designed internal case made of soft iron, which encloses and isolates the movement, forming a Faraday cage that diverts the flow of magnetic fields. This construction provides an impressive degree of magnetic resistance: 40,000 A/m (amperes per meter), a limit more than eight times greater than the value specified by international standards. The soft iron case is immediately beneath the dial, which is made of the same material. (As many fans of IWC know, that brand also uses a type of soft iron inner-case construction in some of its Pilot watches.)Our watches are exposed to
My dream ap
MT DREAM AP IS A STARWHEEL FROM THE 1990'S.I HAVE WANTED ONE SINCE I FIRST SAW IT. I COULD NOT AFFORD ONE. NOW I CAN AFFORD IT, I CAN'T FIND ONE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE AVAILABLE? ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.45684...7&rs=1&pid=1.7WHAT IS YOUR DREAM AUDEMAR?
All three 44mm ROO?
Does anyone have all three?I was able to have all three infront of me while at the NYC Boutique and loved them all in their own way. If I had the funds to purchase exactly all three (not unlimited funds), I could EASILY justify getting all three rather than a handful of other watches because they are each so different in their own terms- material (obviously), style, weight, color, occasion, everyday uses.Anyone else agree?
Omega's blue...
It just stuns me.. Every time is like the first time ;)
Question about vintage Omega service/restoration
I have a friend at work who mentioned that he has an old 1960s (maybe 50's?) omega seamaster that he inherited from his grandfather (it has an inscription from his grandmother to his grandfather). He's not a huge watch guy (he has a luminox and victorinox quartz, which is still more then most I suppose), but I told him he could get it serviced and restored for 300-800 bucks (blind guess). That said, he was very much interested.My question is pertaining to omega service in general. I know all about Rolex RSC service, and I've learned of a few trusted non RSC guys from this great forum, but I don't know much about omega. Do they do great work at Omega, and do they take good care of vintage pieces? Any help would be great. I'll try to get a picture in a few days.Thx (I posted this on one other site as well)
