Maison Fondee En 1848
Is there any significance or value (or lack thereof) to a case back saying 'Maison Fondee Ex 1848'? I'm currently considering a watch with this feature and don't have any idea if it's a plus, a minus, has no meaning or a clear sign to run. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Two have to go! Help decide
Hey guys. So I currently have a 4 watch Rolex collection. Wasn't expecting it to get this crazy so two have to go according to the old ladies orders (and me coming to my senses)Here is what I currently have. Please pay attention to key points for each 14060M (Z serial):This is the only one I have with full kit. It is also in the best shape out of the 4 and completely unpolished5513 (1975):This is a watch I've always loved and wanted. Also has a rare mk2 long 5 insert and came with a pre 63 7206 rivet bracelet (not pictured). No box or papers 16710 (N serial)Just love the patina markers on this. And it's a coke GMT which is badass. Original box but no papers (the dial has some slight signs of bubbling)16570 (L serial BIRTH YEAR)This has no box but original warranty papers. I'd say this would be the first to go but It is my birth and I feel like I'd regret it. Plus the patina is niceSo out of the two! Which would be keepers and which would you let go of! Appreciate all of the help Pleas

Unworn Condition/ Protective Plastics in place
Does this mean that the watch is BNIB?This is not to offend anyone. I'm looking at some of the watches on the internet and see this a lot. I'm looking for a specific model but want to make sure that it's a new and not used by someone with plastic still on.Thanks

Could the 16613 Bluesy become a classic?
The 16613 blue got a lot of attention and was somehow difficult to find back in 2004-2005 at least in some locations. Would this watch become a classic? I know there are lots of them around which could make it hard to become a classic piece. From what I see they haven't lost any value for the most part and still appears to be quite desirable.
