Thinking about the Chronospace Jet Limited
Hello all, I recently saw the new ChronoSpace model and fell in love. I sold my Airwolf last week to make a place in the stable for a new watch.I was planning on the Tungsten color dial on the mesh bracelet. This color:I contacted my AD and I am lucky enough to have a knowledgeable, helpful dealer nearby in a tax free state. They just got the new Jet model which I had never seen or heard of. Its a limited edition of 1000 pieces and they have number 06XX/1000 in stock.I must say that I like the look of it quote a bit. Now I need to make a decision. Some pro/con discussions.Jet is limited edition. I do have a habit of flipping watches so hopefully it will hold value.I love the Tungsten color in images but haven't seen one in person. I have seen other watches with that color dial and was on the hunt for a grey airwolf when I saw the Chronospace.I was worried about the Jet with silver dial and silver hands. I don't own any silver face watches because I am afraid they are not easy to tell t

A good day...
One of the things that I love about Patek is that they are nondescript. Chances are very few of us get asked is that a Patek? or how much does it cost? This generally suits me fine.Imagine my surprise today when an airline passenger (not first class) seated next to me says, excuse me but is that a Patek Calatrava? Wow. The fact that he knew it was a Patek much less a Calatrava was astonishing. Turns out he's interested in watches but doesn't have the resources to indulge himself in this hobby. He was wearing a very clean and obviously well cared for Seiko on strap. He isn't on watch forums but gets his knowledge from watch magazines and really knows his stuff. After a very pleasant hour discussing the merits of various watch topics (silicone hairsprings was an interesting conversation), he says, someday I'd love to try on a Patek as he doesn't live near an AD and has never visited one. Well what's a guy to do right? Would you like to try mine on? I let him wear my watch and he was spee

Wow Incoming: what a guy! ArizonaPaul
Maybe some of you have seen this thread maybe not, but our good buddy Paul had the good fortune of buying a new SS Sky D only two weeks after showing casual interest in the watch. It was a quick turn of events for him but the opportunity present itself so he jumped.Here’s the thread...https://.rolexforums/showthre...00#post8110100Paul expressed some concern that the watch might not even sing to him but didn’t want to pass up the chance. I reached out to him saying if it’s not for him I might be a buyer.On a side note: Coincidentally I bought a d-blue almost 2 years ago and after a week realized it wasn’t really the watch for me. Guess who took that watch off my hands after a private message exchange!? ;)So I speak with Paul on the phone, explain that the watch is actually a watch my dad wants and I’ll be buying it for him (not as a gift unfortunately, just making all the arrangements, etc).After a lovely conversation, Paul tells me he’s gonna sell

Sea Dweller Deep Sea
So, I really want a SS Daytona but we know that's not going to happen. I've owned a TT Sub and a SS/platinum Yacht Master so I'd like something I haven't had before. I like the looks of the Sea Dweller Deep Sea and its larger size....but thinking of it as a bridge to the Daytona when they are not in such high demand. How is the SD for resale? Will the value hold up in 2 years?Or am I better off going back to a SS Sub for resale puroses?Thanks, Mike
