New 5235G
New 5235G arrived a few weeks ago. Just picked it up this afternoon as I had to order a longer strap.
I heard something scary today
There is a previous thread about buying a Panerai without papers. This is a quasi follow up to that. I went to my Rolex/Panerai AD and she told me a story about a fake Panerai that an individual brought in for service. It made it through. They received estimates back on the repair from the panerai service center. It wasn't until the the go ahead was given for repair and watch was disassembled did the repair center realize it was not genuine. It was a story that I heard first hand from a woman I've done business with for years who isn't given to exaggeration. I guess now more than ever it's buyer beware.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Is this vintage 1980 orchid 2663 worth servicing?
Excuse my terrible picture taking but my mom dug up an old rolex (complete with papers!). A quick googling shows that it's worth a little bit (nothing crazy) but is it even worth servicing? It doesn't really hold much sentimental value either.It definitely needs a new band as the leather is crumbly but it actually still runs!Edit:I noticed I didn't post this in the vintage forum, sorry :(
My 1999 Rolex Submariner date
About three months ago, I purchased a 1999 Submariner date from an estate sale. The owner was an older gentleman who had quite a watch collection. He was selling a few other watches and I noticed that they all come with services records. Come to find out that the sub was never serviced. It keeps pretty good time but gains around six minutes a month. The watch also looks great save for a tiny crack in the pearl on the bezel. I don't go diving with it and visually the tiny water proofing bands on the crown look ok. Should I be worried and run out to service it or just enjoy it since it seams to be doing fine. Soon it will be 20 years old without a service or a polish.
