4N Sapphire Planet Watch
The unique case shape and digital time display of the 4N watch has been around for a few years now, and for 2015 it receives its most notable �C and somewhat unexpected �C update yet: the 4N Sapphire Planet wraps the original digital-mechanical movement?in a sapphire crystal case."Sapphire." Even?the way it sounds is something special: it comes off?as something?expensive and refined, and it, in fact, is considered by many to be an essential?component?of a?quality watch. Despite all that, sapphire crystal is a relatively common material?in watchmaking, found even in?couple-hundred dollar timepieces �C and up, of course. It is used for the front and sometimes the back crystals for its remarkable scratch resistance and superior optical quality, when compared to mineral crystals or plastics.?Sapphire crystal, however, does become?a much more luxurious and genuinely exotic?material when it is used not?just for the front crystal, but also as?the full case of a watch.?The 4N Sapphire Planet?offe

AP 15400 suit light scratches
Hey everybody,This is probably going to sound silly, but is it safe to wear my 15400 with a suit? I seem to have some light scratches on the bracelet and have no idea how they got there. I am super careful with the piece. I heard from someone that sleeves and suit jacket rubbing against it could have caused this. Are they that sensitive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Snoopy Speedy watches the shuttle launch....
I think I have wanted to see the shuttle launch since it first started flying. I have a good friend and we've been talking about it for the past 10 years and realized we'd better get going as there were only 4 remaining before the shuttle is retired later this year.We watched the predawn launch from a friends house about 20 miles south of Cape Caneveral. IT WAS AWESOME! Now we've decided we have to go back to the next launch in July (3rd to last) too.After the launch, we went out to the Kennedy Space center. Some pics from that day wearing, what else? My Speedmaster Professional Snoopy.Sorry some of the pics are less than sharp...they were all taken with my IPhone! Hope you enjoy!--Paul Snoopy checks out the Rocket Farm of Redstones, Atlas, Gemini, Titans etc..One of the few remaining unused Lunar Landers in front of the Apollo 13 mission patch...The Snoopy statue inside the Apollo missions complex...Believe this is the command module from Apollo 14 or 15...this thing has actuall

Patek vs. Lange vs. JLC...
Hey PP lovers: Looks like I'm ready for another addition to the stable. Would appreciate some feedback.Quick description of my Pateks - two nautilus (5711 Blue and 5726 White), 5167, and 5205G Black dial.I'm debating between an annual calendar, a perpetual, and a special Lange.1: Patek 5936 WG. This beauty would compliment my 5205 well. A bit more classic, a white dial, and a slightly smaller size. Surprisingly I found the watch to wear somewhat larger than it's stated size as I think the thick bezel and nicely seized lugs of the calatrava case lend it some real pop. Add it a bright white dial and the watch has some real wrist presence. Potential negative: another 324 AC and maybe it's too much.2: JLc Ultra Thin Perpetual WG. Gorgeous dial, beautiful proportions, and slim and very elegant case. Movement finishing is somewhat pedestrian for the price but the watch is incredibly comfortable to wear and I particularly like the black nickel indices. Cheaper than the others too.

My Panerai journey in a year...
So my obsessions with Panerai began in 2017 (late comer.. I know) I got interested in Panerai last year when I walked into a an AD and checked out the various panerai collections. Did my newb research and decided my first Panerai would be the 560. (Not the sandwich one) Then got the 564 because i wanted to see the seconds hand moving on the dial. Then proceeded with the 1305 because i wanted something more casual and something I take to go swimming in. As the year progressed and I read more about Panerai and what makes them special, the 564 started to look too smilar to the 560 and I sold it (at a loss of course, but expected to fund for a Rolex BLNR (2015 year 2nd hand). It wasn't long before i was looking for a Panerai GMT watch and the 1320 caught my eye. Took the plunge and got the 1320. Few months later... the more I looked at the 233, the more i realized that would be my Grail Panerai watch. I kept holding back from getting the 233 because the 1320 was already a GMT... but t
