Audemars Piguet 14790ST
I have been a keen admirer of Audemars Piguet watches since I was about 16. Ten years later I�ve been offered a 14790ST for what seems like a decent price. One of my good friends is selling his for ?5500 having bought it a year ago for ?6100, box and papers included. Being a genuine friend he told me he went to a few jewellers and the most he was offered for it was around ?3000. Obviously I know how below the mark they will offer as they need to make money ontop. Also I know they cost a hell of a lot to get serviced. I�m not knocking anyone who was, but I wasn�t born into money and have made the odd bad investment in the past, so I can�t afford to lose out too much. I like the watch and I�ll hold onto it for years to come. In your opinion is this a good price and will I be disappointed when I decide to sell on further down the line. Thanks in advance.

Omega Planet Ocean 2901.50.91 Boxes/papers
i Stupidly purchased this watch from a Tourneau back before i found this site. So i 'settled' on the right watch ..but no box,papers, or any other materials other than the generic Tourneau crap. Anyone know how to potentially pick up any materials for this watch? it was new in 2005. I bought it used in 2007.Also would be interested in a good source for the rubber strap for replacement sometime soon.Thanks for any advice.David

When is "No Price Increase" a Price Increase?
Rolex so far has not increased prices in the US. One can buy any watch at the price it was last year and the year before from an AD (not from a GD). All you have to do is buy from the AD who doesn't have the model which is desired but can supply it if multiple watches are purchased or can supply a PM version of the watch but not the SS standard. The ADs may make the same percentage but make a greater total profit on each watch sold or each sale. The manufacturer realizes a higher profit on each watch it sells (PM vs SS). But no price increase. Yup. I'm buying two tone GMT at a considerably higher price than the Red and Blue staple because in this case I like the watch but also because in this case there will never be an available version of the SS model for me. It is a price increase on the order of $5000. QED.

My Trio Over the Last 6 Months
This is a shot I just took...and will complete my collection for a while...I bought my first the 116613LB Sub back in September, then the YM2 SS a couple of months later, and just picked up the 122660 SD43. I must say I am enjoying this trio. No more until I earn the right to buy me a 18K Presidential!
