Tutima Glashutte Homage Minute Repeater Watch
The big news is that Tutima just opened up their own movement manufacture they call the Glashutte Factory. To celebrate this they have released the first factory watch. It is the Tutima Glashutte Homage that is not only their first in-house movement, but also a minute repeater. According to Tutima (which is located in Glashutte), it is the only minute repeater watch that has been made and also developed in Glashutte.At first I wasn't of Tutima's claim.?

That is why I have recently added two classic discontinued Rolex models to my collection,

Is panerai really this cold now?
While I was picking up my new bronze 671, I saw 716 Mare Nostrum, 685 and 687 3 Days Acciaio in the showcase, they are such nice looking pieces! Wondering is panerai really this cold now?

Anyone own a 183 AND a 292?
Are they too similar to own both? Please comment and post photos! Thanks.
