Antiquorum.com Holds Auctions For Rare And Valuable Watches: Worth It For The Pictures
While eBay is my perennial auction favorite, technically (and legally) speaking, eBay holds no auctions, they merely facilitate auctions between private parties. Regardless, it is my opinion that eBay is the juggernaut of the internet private sales system. However, sometimes you want to indulge in the pomp and circumstance of a traditional auction. Which can be quite exciting for the right type of person. At least you can enjoy the fancy item displays and pictures.Antiquorumwatches-dealer is like Sotheby's for watches (although Sotheby's probably auctions watches as well). Antiquorum holds live (traditional) and online auctions all over the world for passionate watch lovers for watches ranging in the hundreds to the many many thousands. If you have a rare or highly desirable timepiece, it is probably worth going through Antiquorum to get the right audience of potential buyers. Antiquorum of course will take a fee, and probably charge you for "appraisal," but it is all part of the proce

AP 15400or on rubber...
Hi allI'm very close to pulling the trigger on what will be a grail watch for me, the 15400or. Im one of these people who like strap options on my watches though. I know the black dial comes with a black leather strap and the silver/white dial comes with a brown leather. I've seen images of the black dial on a rubber strap but never seen the White dial on rubber. Now, before I get roasted alive for asking I appreciate White dial watches are generally more formal so rubber straps may be seen as taboo but I bet someone out there has done it or seen it and I need to get the option out of my head if it looks horrendous. For background I have a small collection and every piece has a black dial which is why I wouldn't mind the change. However I'm not against another black dial. Over to you guys and girls. Thoughts, images etcThanksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leather Straps for Navitimer World
Hi All,Does anyone have any good resources to pickup a good new strap for my Navitimer World? I don't know if there are any trusty re-sellers on here, or online that I can't seem to find anywhere. Much appreciated!

The value of an Omega
Does Omega keep its value like Rolex, Vacheron, AP do? I have heard and read many articles stating that they do, but I wanted to know what the experts in TRF have to say about it.

Hello folks,Found this site and am learning a lot of great info. I've had an addiction for Rolex since my father purchased a Sea Dweller in '93 as a retirement gift for himself. My first Rolex was (and still is) an R series 16600 Sea Dweller I purchased in '04, and this was followed by an M series 116520 SS Daytona white face in '09 when I turned 40. Somewhere in between I also acquired a Breitling Navitimer.I walked into my local AD last Monday and asked about the Deep Sea Blue, which apparently just came in - still in it's plastic coffin case. Today I pulled the trigger on it and will be getting it this week.Looking forward to reading more about these great timepieces.
