JCK 2015: Raymond Weil Launches its First Pilots’ Watch, the Freelancer Piper
Students of wristwatch history know that Raymond Weil, founder of the eponymous watch brand, was both a watchmaker and a musician.

Omega service Australia
Hi AllSeeking advice on the best place to get my speedmaster serviced. Based in Melbourne.Have heard mixed reviews of sending it back to Omega.Watch also needs a polish.Any recommendations or experiences gratefully received.

Just wondering as I think both watches are very appealing, and very different at the same time. I don't think one can go wrong with either model, and a lot will come down to personal preference. If you have to choose between the 5235g regulateur or 5170g chronograph, which one would you choose? Curious to see what everyone's thoughts are.

Panerai Case Size and Wear Question
Hopefully you folks can help me. I am looking for a Panerai. I have owned a PAM 88 and Sub and they fit me well. I am looking at the new 1950 case watches and wanted to know how they fit and compared with the ones I have worn before. Any and all advice would be much appreciated.Chris
