The Value Proposition: The Archimede Pilot 39, With Untreated Bronze Case And Workhorse ETA Movement
Drive north from New York City and in about two hours you’ll arrive at Dia:Beacon, one of the finest collections of contemporary art around, in a remarkable setting on the Hudson River. Hopefully, while there, you’ll have a surreal encounter with "Crouching Spider" – a massive sculpture by artist Louise Bourgeois. What exactly does this have to do with watches?

5960a on a rubber strap?
I've been toying with the idea of trading a couple of my watches in for the steel 5960. I think having the option of leather and rubber straps would also be great. I've seen pics of the watch on a leather strap but none on a rubber strap. Any steel 5960s on a rubber strap out there?Cheers

Pre Owned Rolex Papers
I'm currently in the market for a pre owned 11470, I have a choice of 2, the only difference is 1 set of papers are from Paris Jeweller the other is to be advised, I accept the watches originally came from Switzerland and to me having papers with the watch is a plus, however I was wondering if this would have any impact on the deal or have any future effect ?
