Bovet Timepieces Owner Pascal Raffy On Patrimony, Values, And The True Meaning Of Luxury
The watch industry is a place I became a part of by accident, and in a sense my love of watches themselves was an accident. Stumbling upon the world of timepieces, I quickly identified with a number of values I had that were shared in the design and construction of high-end timepieces. What I later learned is that this story is anything but unique.

Howdy, I just got my customized speedie, and I love it. A definite frankenwatch of all original Omega parts. The Mitsukoshi dial and handset. A 35th anniversary case and the 1861 movement. A couple pics and excuse my hairy arms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi TRF, I realize when I'm active on the forum, I start buying. In the pass 4 weeks or so, I have purchased 4 Rolex's. You may have seen my post before or the purchase of the 116509 steel dial Daytona, followed by the Batman. This week Monday i pick up my first vintage Rolex, a Sub circa 1985. Thou I am not a vintage smart but I met Fred RED1108NYC , whom share a lot of his knowledge with me in the purchase. Over all I'm happy to with my purchase and since I'm just starting into vintage I'm only buy 1985, starting off with my birth year. Yesterday a second vintage arrived, watch was serial dates to 1984, but the original purchase receipt was 10/10/1985, thou its not my birthday but it's close. I decided to make the move to purchase it from John SPRINGER . Yesterday was busy, just had the chance to try the watch and whoa for a 32 year old watch I can't believe the condition it was kept in. Very pleased. Again very please with my purchase from both TRF members, it is my first time buyi
