Eberhard & Co. Champion V Watches
For 2012 Eberhard & Co. will release these two rather clean looking sport watches called the Champion V. These are new versions of older Eberhard Champion watch collection pieces released about 20 years ago. The same sober looks are maintained while the Champion V watches are more modern in every way. I don't know why, but in their press release each time they write "Champion V," the Roman numeral 5 is done in a red font.There are going to be two distinct Champion V models. One will just be called the Champion V and the other will be called the Champion V Grande Date. While they are both decent watches I must admit to not understanding why the two models exists. I think they should have just made the Champion V Grande Date. Let me explain...Both versions offer multiple dial styles and colors. The styles range a lot actually and dial colors can come in blue, black, or white with different trims. The two watches have the same case - which is 42.80mm wide and 14.45mm thick. So what is

Breaking News: Watch Worn By Steve Jobs In Iconic 1984 Photo Of Apple Founder With First Mac, Just S
We've just found out that a quartz Seiko watch from the 1980s, that was owned and worn by Steve Jobs, just sold at auction for $42,500 – and we'd bet cash money that's the highest price anyone has ever paid for a simple quartz Seiko reference 6431-6030. The sale was part of an auction that included several other pieces of Steve Jobs memorabilia, authenticated by his long-time house manager, Mr. Mark Sheff (a letter of authenticity is also included). 1 OF 4 ADVERTISEMENT The watch itself is pretty much as unremarkable as a watch can get: an inexpensive quartz Seiko that Jobs, if the condition of the strap is any indication, bought and then wore daily, probably without giving it a lot of thought. However, the thing that elevates it to historic treasure status is that it's the watch Jobs was wearing in 1984 when one of the most iconic photographs of Apple's co-founder was taken: that of him with the very first Macintosh

Price of 10 year old new watch
HelloI would like to hear your views on this.About 10 years ago, Omega made 69 platinum Speedmasters. I have found an unsold one! The way I am looking at it is that Omega have not been able to sell them all in 10 years but have continued to increase the watches price for 10 years. How much do you think a watch's price will have increased in that time? Does 5% per year sound about right or do you think it would be more than that? I'm wondering if it might be worth a silly offer at closer to the price ten years ago.Thanks

5726A can you buy the straps afterwards?
Hi guys so i'm looking at adding the 5726 in SS to my collection and see that there is one with a bracelet and one with a strap. I would have thought that these are interchangeable as they are the same watch. However the AD told me Patek will not sell or fit a strap for example if I bought the bracelet version . Is this true?? Seems odd when the parts exist and it's not like i'm doing some crazy configuration....Also which one will you guys for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Silly to own a 5167 and a 5164?
I'm thinking of trying to have my AD get me a 5167R (they don't have one right now). After seeing Ken's awesome photos! My question is...is it redundant to have a 5167R and a 5164A?...Any owners of both a 5167 and 5164 can chime in please with candid thoughts. I also have a 5712A...Those are my only sporty genta Pateks....
