First Look: Five Unexpected Vintage Lots From The Upcoming Watches Of Knightsbridge Auction
It's always exciting to flip thought the pages of a fresh auction catalog. So we were thrilled to discover the lots from this week's Watches of Knightsbridge auction. There are showstoppers of course, such as a big crown Submariner and an early Speedmaster CK2998. But we think we found a couple of sleepers as well. So we picked five and went to try them on. Chronographs are well represented, with an understated but handsome Omega DeVille and a colorful Tudor Monte Carlo, while an early diver from Longines and a rare Rolex Datejust also make our list. Omega DeVille Chronograph Reference 145.017, With Slate Grey Dial 1 OF 13 It's not a Speedmaster, and that's okay. This vintage De Ville was introduced in 1968, with the lever-and-cam caliber 860.

Anniversary Breitling
I have the opportunity of buying an Anniversary (RAF) Breitling Aerospace at a massively reduced price. The watch is NIB from an authorised dealer. I'm not sure if these watches are a good investment as they are quite specialist to the owners. I do want the watch though as the RAF squadron is sentimental to me. I know I wont be buying it as an investment and passing it down the line but do they depreciate more than a standard issue Aerospace ?Thanks

Broken Clasp On PO Professional
The clasp on my PO just broke. Luckily I was in my office and not on/in the river like I was Saturday afternoon. So, the reason for posting is, I just received it back from getting a service from a well known/respected repair shop. The clasp has never fully closed onto the bracelet if that makes sense. It has always been slightly tipped up where the Omega sign meets the bracelet. Not sure if this is due to it being sized incorrectly or what. Anyway, the service shop bent the clasp back down so it fit flush. I believe that action caused the clasp to weaken and break where it was bent. I can see two very faint lines where I believe they used a tool to bend it back. What kind of action should I take? The warranty they offer with the service is 24 or 30 months, I can't remember exactly. I'm not looking to place blame on anyone, but I have only had it back for less than a month or so. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks for your input.

Curious: fully stickered with a fake movement?
Have any of you ever heard of someone buying a fully stickered Rolex with box and papers from a grey dealer that ended up having a fake movement?
