BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends February 13, 2015
I'm sure readers of this site will agree that one of the interesting, albeit more scarcely discussed elements?of?watch collecting is how desirable vintage watches - sometimes even important ones - are still being discovered now and then. These things don't happen all the time, obviously, but recently, an important discovery was made. A never seen before vintage Heuer Chronomatic was uncovered. And what's impressive about it is that it is believed to be one of Heuer's very first automatic chronographs and could very well be the oldest automatic Heuer chronograph watch in existence now. And this month, we retrace the story of how it was found.We also check out?one of my favorite watches from SIHH 2015, the new Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum, and compare it to other worldtime watches that are on the market right now.

Date wheel question
I was winding/setting a DJ yesterday from stopped and do I want I usually do and set the hands to 6. In this case I wound back, can’t remember why but I did. The date reversed. At the 6 I decided to set the date first. As I proceeded I felt the gear in what I assume was a clutch position, it wasn’t engaged, I felt resistance. I stopped and wound forward, knowing I was at the 6am and date did not change. I carried on with the hands and it proceeded to click solidly at the 12am date change but only after an additional 24 hr revolution. All is good now, date wheel was changing as it should too. Question is, what happened originally, was it because I wound back and the date mechanism wasn’t fully engaged by winding back to 6am? Just curious to learn for the future.

Rolex Submariner 116610 Rolex Blue Model 16610
Hi, all.I am potentially looking to buy a Blue Dial Sub from a local person on Craigslist. They are selling for $2,800. This seems very low for an authentic Rolex. Can someone opine on if this is a unrealistically low price? I was thinking it was either fake or low because the blue dial is not popular.I appreciate any feedback.
