BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends August 1, 2014
Prices of watches have been increasing steadily over the past decade, but how do they compare to, say, three or even six decades ago? Just how have they really changed? And is it really because it is due to the rising costs of materials and inflation alone? We take a closer look at historical prices of two of the most popular sports watches around today - the Submariner and Daytona from Rolex.That aside, we also investigate the recent matter regarding Bremont's new Wright Flyer watch and its supposedly in-house made BWC/01 movement. Just how "in-house" is it and what is the real story behind the whole incident?We also pay a visit to Nicholas Manousos, who successfully made a working tourbillon using a customized 3D printer. Finally, we chat with the great Walter Lange as he celebrates his 90th birthday to find out more about the beginnings and the future of one of the greatest institutions in German watchmaking, A. Lange & S?hne.1. How And Why Rolex Prices Have Increased Over TimeR

She's gone...
Greetings TRF,I just wanted to let you know that I've sold my Omega Seamaster Professional Quartz yesterday. Since I've bought my chronograph I had to let one go and this one was chosen.Do I regret it? Not really, I know I'll probably get another one someday when I'll get a full time job and more money in the piggy bank. Was it hard? Kind of, I loved that watch dearly but the new one was, for me, a better piece to own given my new or reborn interest in watches. Would I still recommend it to somebody? Absolutely! Omega makes incredible watches and the quartz model is a one of a kind beater as well as a great everyday watch!So there it is, ladies and gentlemen, the end of the road for this one. Let's just remember the good times and keep in mind that we shall meet again someday. Until that day, this is the end, beautiful friend...Thank you for watching!
