Glashutte Panoinverse is lovely, but doesn’t photo well.

I bought this about 18 months ago (I think)
I have rarely worn it so I brought it on hols with me. It runs fine during the day but it stops at around 3am whether I keep it on or take it off :enraged_face:

You need to move house

That’s the trouble with automatic watches, you need to move around occasionally… :wink:

I was admiring a blue Longines Hydroconquest GMT this morning. A lovely thing. I really like that they have smoothed out the edges of the crown guards. Was never a fan of the previous hard edge shape.

Do I meet up with the guy and “have a closer look”?

Based on me really liking how that looks, this statistically means it should be at the ‘plutocrat’ rather than ‘full bore oligarch’ price tier- am I very wrong?

At the risk of coming off as really crass, that one is ~£15k. What would probably put you off is the size, it’s from 1992 so it’s 33.8mm.

The other fighter, which frankly I’m highly likely to buy if he still has it tomorrow, is this.

2012, a perfect 37mm. Nice deployant too. ~£18k.

If you want to dip your toe in the Calatrava waters he also has a ref 3998J for £12.5k. I’m a little surprised by the prices. I suspect partly he’s taken them as part of a trade and wants to cash out, and partly a little of the froth has blown off the market.
