My Planet Ocean & My NATO's
Here is my pristine Omega Planet Ocean XL and of course it's in orange. I like loud, so the orange fits me.

Valuations/Sales and "What's It Worth" Threads
TRF gets a lot of What's it Worth threads, My Grandfather just died...; My dad wants to sell his...; and other assorted veiled attempts to sell or offers for sale in the General Discussion Board.It takes fewer than 5 minutes to research almost any Rolex model and find what they are being sold for across the Internet. You are urged to search the Forum Sales Board if you are seeking an estimate of value for your watch, or search the Internet for prevailing values. TRF is neither a shopping service for you, nor is it a valuation service as value varies widely depending on condition and local economies..TRF urges members not to make offers on such watches that pop up in these threads because most of the scams or bad experiences that have cost members dearly have been outside of the proper Sales Forum.. This rule is for protection of the membership and to control sales and buying to the proper board.Your post requesting value, or any other post that appears to be a solicitation for sale
