A Week On The Wrist: The Hamilton Pan-Europ Auto
Hamilton introduced the modern incarnation of its famous Pan-Europ watch at the 2011 Baselworld fair. It was a design based on an original, which debuted in 1971, and it’s done well enough to merit the release of a less-complicated variant, which we saw at last year's Basel. It’s still got the retro good looks and practical price point, but does it capture the charm of the original from the '70s? We spent a week with the Pan-Europ Auto to find out. Introduction The Pan-Europ label dates back to the early '60s, first appearing on Hamilton dress watches and eventually sports watches (including a ladies' diver) on up to and through the mid '70s. Of course, Hamilton itself dates all the back to the late 19th century, and has a rich heritage of creating tool watches throughout the 20th.

Oops they did it again!
Just picked up my new 15400 last week, wore it for 4 hours then put it in the case whilst I wait a 1.5 link. I'll start off by saying I'm an AP fan having owned a largely trouble free ROC and SS 44mm Novelty albeit both only for a short period of time. my wife for her part owns a RG Milenary and a lady RO so I have spent a fair bit of money with them over the years. Their watches are stunning and whilst having flipped all mine my wife's watches and the new 15400 are keepers.My problem lies with their QC. From 5 Watches 3 have had problems all resulting in a lengthy stay at the APSC. The last straw is my 5 day old (worn 4hrs) RO as today whilst admiring, setting and winding the crown pulled right out in my hand.I'm in the midst of penning a rather strong worded email to AP but wanted to vent off to the TRF community for those of you that may be thinking of buying.A lot of owners have had no issues and they do make great watches but their quality control is poorer than poor

Which One??
Even though was bitten hard on the acquisition of my first AP - ROO RG 44mm a year backcourtesy of a sudden price drop. However till date no other brand has gotten me more intrigued.So here I am ready for next piece soon enough, which one would you go for. The first image isborrowed and from SIHH 2014 coverage. Have a great weekend.Cheers!Urooj

Pam 590
Thinking about one of these. I think its really unique and my AD has a brand new one in stock for 5750. Current list is 6600.Does anyone know if they really only made 2000 total of these or is that their annual number?
