Sinn 857 Watch
I just got finished using a German proxy server to trick Sinn's website into thinking I was viewing it from their homeland. Why did I do this? To get the price of this new 857 collection watch for you. Sinn apparently uses geo-locating to protect their prices from being viewed by potential buyers outside of Germany. Probably because those prices vary from country to country. Nevertheless, I am still going to tell you the prices as that is only fair.To my knowledge Sinn hasn't hard-launched the new 857 and 857 S watch collection yet. Though, the pieces are right up there on their website. These are a more simple version of the existing 857 UTC models which contained a small central GMT hand. What the 857 really is however is an upgraded and larger version of the 657 and 657 S - a watch I proudly own but simply do not wear any longer as it is too small. Overall the 857 is going to be a very solid seller for Sinn based on its design and upgraded features over the 657 family.The 857 and 85

I wish I hadn't bought this Speedmaster....
...because now all my other watches are getting a complex. I can't remember the last time I bought a watch that got worn so often, instead of just fitting into the rotation. I even post other watches in the WRUW Today topics with every intention of wearing whatever that day, but so far it seems that somewhere between my resolve and the front door, the Speedy ends up on my wrist.

Another incoming from Takuya - SubC
Many heard the thread I posted. I was looking for my second SubC. My first Rolex purchase was a Sub brand new back in the day in 2003. We are planning to give that to our son for graduating college. I was on the search for a new Sub. many of the trusted sellers were selling like new at new prices. I actually ended up finding a new one. I was sleeping on it when I texted my old pal Takuya to see if he had a like new. Timing is everything. He did. I asked just how good it was as the delta from new AD to Trusted seller needed to be worth while. He said it was in perfect shape, just like new. I jumped on it and got it today.Enjoy the pics as much as I am enjoying the glidelock (have one on my Hulk and fell in love)Takuya rocks!!!1.jpg2.jpg3.jpg4.jpg5.jpg

Rolex goes upmarket
I read a post a few months ago about rolex going up market and i cant help but feel thus is true.Called in to my AD today was told stock levels are hopeless and waiting lists are closed. This is the same AD I bought two subs from new. Was told numerically speaking I was not a VIP customer and would not find my self on any list.I can’t undertand how stock levels can be so low, its either rolex is genuinely holding back stock or ADs are selling direct to the grey market.What are your thoughts on current supply? Will it get any better? Its been atleast two years now?Time to move on. AP here i come...

Shame on goldsmiths
Apparently ADs ate now told by Rolex not to verify the authenticity of watches Right couple of Charlies in goldsmiths nottingham (steer clear)My friend has recently bought a 1992 yachtmaster yellow gold online and with no crown on the glass and less than 2.5% mag on the date window we took a trip in to ask their opinion!Empty shop No sports models on offerWe told the woman in there that it had been bought online and wondered if they wouldn't mind having a look at it....met with the ARROGANCE of a MANU fan from the late 1990s You should NEVER buy on line because the ONLY way to 100% verify is to send to rolex....even companies like watchfinder can't verify watches properly . Only buy from an AD....She took out an eyeglass and looked at it in a ��id just LOVE to tell you it's fake' kinda way and said that it's against rolex policy to tell if it's real or notBloke said there was no way of verifying without sending off....I said so you're telling me that if I came in here with my sub to se
