Found: An Example Of The Legendary Albino Rolex GMT-Master Reference 6542 (Live Pics, Thoughts)
After doing this job for over seven years now, attending every major auction, every major trade show and meeting many of the major collectors around the world, I think it's fair to say that it takes a lot to get me going these days. For example, in total honesty, there was one watch – one – that got me genuinely excited at Baselworld this year. None at SIHH. That's not to say there weren't many great introductions at both – there certainly were (and you can see them here and here), but I'm talking about watches that I found truly thrilling, on a personal level. Today, thanks to a visit from a friend from Japan, I can show you one that absolutely is, and while it has, in its day, raised a few eyebrows, it's a watch I would love to own. I am talking about a Rolex GMT-Master, the very first reference 6542 with the famous bakelite bezel, but one of only a small handful known with a white dial. Yup, let's go hands-on with the mythical albino GMT.

AP 15450ST Concerns?
I've had a 15300 before and kinda regret selling it. However the bracelet always felt a tad too wide for my 6,3 wrist. Been researching about this 15450 but had some fears that it would be too small, bracelet too dainty, hard hit on the resale value bla bla bla. Today I pulled the trigger on a white dialed 15450st. It is none of what I feared it would be. It is not too small and bracelet fit was amazing. It wears almost like my 39mm explorer 1. So you folks who has been considering this size but had fears and concerns, dont worry. This 15450 is a timeless piece done right. Unless of course you're 7 foot tall with 7 wrist. But yea I'll post some pics that hopefully might enable some of you to grab one too.

Nautilus Annual Production Numbers
Hi all,Since there has been so much discussion in other threads of expected 20% prices increases on steel models 5711/12, I wondered if anyone has accurate annual production numbers on any Nautilus models? I suspect the vast majority of us on this forum who own a PP have a 5167/5164/5711/5712 if not multiple.

Tudor GMT and 1955 Rolex GMT
Side by side comparison - Rolex and Tudor took the time to sync both photos to the exact time and date on both watches. Similarities abound obviously but really clear just how much in these photos.The Rolex photo is from the current Basel webpage on the new GMT as a historical reference, and the Tudor from the current Tudor page.
