Ticking the Blues: 2 New Girard-Perregaux Watches With Blue Dials
In case you haven’t noticed, blue is the hot color in the watch world, recently appearing all across the horological spectrum on dials, bezels, straps, et cetera. Recently, Girard-Perregaux reminded us that its founder, Jean-Francois Bautte, was one of the first watchmakers to incorporate the color into his timepieces. Fittingly, the brand has honored Bautte’s contributions to today’s watch-design trend by adding two new watches with blue dials and straps to its two vintage-inspired flagship collections, the 1966 and 1945 XXL.The new Girard-Perregaux 1966 watch features a slightly dome-shaped dial in a deep blue hue and enhanced by a subtle sunburst pattern.

Regarding 3513.50
All,I generally hang out in the vintage rolex section, but I have been asked to research a 3513.50 or 3570.50 by my sister in law as a birthday gift to her husband (my brother). I know nothing about Omega watches and I would like a brief history on these two models......provenance, vintage, production run, etc. According to my SIL, he seems to have searched more on the 3513.50 than the latter. Anything would be helpful, and any advice on searching for one would also be helpful. Pete

The First DayJust I think
I do not own this watch but I was one click away and I was honestly in talks with the seller, but couldn't pull the trigger.I sat on it for a few days and man do I regret it. Kicking myself in the arse. In the end the seller sold it for 12,000. US. It originally was listed with a buy it now for 10000.00, then I offer him 8000.00. He said it was fine, but he wanted to get it inspected before I bought it to make sure it was all legit. So I said screw getting it looked at, Ill take it for 10,000.00 The he said he would talk to me tomorrow.The next day it was listed with a BIN of 15,000. Down to 12,500. Then sold BIN of 12000.00.A true GEM in My eyes.Did anyone else see this Beut?
