Possible Vintage Frankenwatch? Thoughts?
Cleaning up my wife's late grandma's house, we came across this watch. It's marked Omega 17 Jewel Incabloc. Feels a bit light compared to my vintage Seamaster (166.0209). I'm taking it tomorrow to my watchmaker to have a pro look at it. Anyway, I can't seem to find any info on this watch. My guess it's a frankenwatch or a re-done dial. It's not quartz or automatic, it's a wind-up. Any thoughts would be great!Thanks, Cliff

Who has gotten "the call" without AD relationship?
I will openly admit that I am starting this thread for self-assurance, but hopefully it will prove useful to others as well.I have called ADs all around the USA in an attempt to get on as many lists as possible for the Daytona 116500ln. Most have been brutally honest in that it would be impossible or at least take 5+ years, however a few were optimistic that they could make something happen within a somewhat reasonable timeframe given the popularity of the model (a few months to a year.)From what I've read on this forum (many here are more knowledgeable than most AD's) trying to obtain a ceramic Daytona without a well established relationship with an AD is simply impossible. However, I have seen a few members state that hope is not lost, and if you're willing to branch and and be persistent, eventually your hard work will pay off.So now I'm asking for testimonies from those of you who have been in my situation, and have actually seen results. After getting on a list with no prior hi

Who else has used a Rolex as motivation?
Good people of the Rolex Forums.....Who else has used a Rolex as motivation for accomplishing a goal? I have been drawn to these beautiful watches for the past decade but have not found that I have earned one yet. I view the Rolex as a symbol of status and accomplishment and although I have surpassed many milestones (including promotions, credentials, etc) I haven't been able to feel I have earned it yet...Needless to say, after nearly a decade I have my heart set on the exact Rolex I want and set out very specific goals for me this year to accomplish and once done, to buy that son of a gun. I would love to hear of other stories or inputs from you where you used a Rolex as motivation and your success stories?

Future of the DJII 116333
I've had a thing for this model for many years now and since it's been discontinued with the oyster bracelet and gray dial, I'm curious where prices could go. This was kind of a poster child for Rolex in advertising for quite a while. How do you think used prices will fare? I've already felt the heat of prices on bluesy 16613 subs. Not sure how things will go with the DJ2 considering it's not a sports model. All enabling aside, strike while the iron's hot??
