Panerai – Radiomir GMT Alarm – PAM 98 This is a model we have been fortunate enough to come across a couple of times in the past, but it remains a rare piece, with only 3000 total pieces made between 2001 and 2006. The Panerai Radiomir GMT Alarm features a Girard Perregaux caliber 59,… Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week

Our usual rule with Panerai’s is that if it doesn’t have box/papers we aren’t interested. We made an exception for this piece. The Jaeger-LeCoultre movement made it too interesting to pass up. We also love the gold hands and the clean dial with the reserve indicator only visible through the display back. Great deal… Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week

I almost drooled on this watch, but I didn’t. Oh, also, it is in pristine condition and has a balance of the factory warranty, although you shouldn’t need it since this piece was averaging 0 seconds of gain or loss with no position outside of COSC specs on a full power reserve (36-38 hours BTW).… Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week
Things You Should Know When Buying A Rolex Submariner 16610
Stainless Steel Submariners often look very similar and you might have a hard time telling them apart at first glance. Here are what we consider the key features when deciding on a Submariner Date (model 16610) with aluminum bezel: The Solid End Link or SEL bracelet.

The gold GMT Master II is already rarely seen in comparison to the gold Submariner Date, but this piece is even more uncommon with a factory champagne dial with eight serti set diamonds and three rubies. The jubilee band with hidden clasp is in great condition with very little play. The most functional watch… Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week

I consider the Omega Constellation to be one of the most undervalued models in the Omega line. This piece has the same COSC certified Omega 1120/ETA 2892-2 caliber that you would find in a Seamaster of the same late 90s/early 2000s vintage. The case is slim and wears well with a cuff. The 36mm is… Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week

This is a great tool watch, over-engineered for extremely rugged wear. This version of the Arctic Diver is made with the tried and true ETA 2824-2 movement over Kobold’s new ‘in-house’ movements. If you’re considering this piece you should know they look exceptionally impressive on custom straps from Rob Montana. Limited Edition of 299… Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week
PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week
I vividly remember seeing this model on Chef Gordon Ramsay’s wrist on early episodes of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. Is that a selling point? We think so. Despite having a long production run (1993-2003) this model comes around very infrequently. This piece was just overhauled by America’s Watchmaker (Stoll & Co in Dayton, OH) … Continue reading PJ’s Watch Notes of the Week
