Baselworld is here and in this round-up you will see the latest watches from Rolex including the new Pepsi GMT-Master II and Sea-Dweller 4000. We also check out other new watches such as Tudor's new Heritage Black Bay Blue and A. Lange & S?hne's exquisite 1815 Tourbillon watch. Next, we take a closer look at at the $14,000 flea market find that turned out to be a priceless Vacheron Constantin timepiece and round off by taking a look at some bang-for-buck watches.1. Glashutte Original PanoLunarTourbillon Watch Hands-OnWith all the attention that A. Lange & S?hne is receiving, one might be tempted to think that they are the biggest name in the Glassh��te region, but that may not be so. Just down the street is Glassh��te Original, who is renown for its Pano watches and its exquisite flying tourbillons. Don't just take my word for it, check out its new PanoLunar Tourbillon watch.Source: watches-dealer2. Watch Lover Celebrity John Mayer Sues Bob Maron For $656,000 After Buying S

Incoming ! My wife hates this forum
Seriously, I didn't believe I'd add another watch to my collection, but you guys are serious enablers rofl. I was lusting over the Tudor day date pics and I just wanted to know how much they cost. Well, I stumbled upon DT watches and found a vintage Tudor 94613, and it was my birth year as well ! The price was jist too good to be true, so I pulled the trigger.

116595RBOW - the New Daytona
This is the first Rolex I have wanted to own in a long time and I really applaud Rolex for bringing back a new interpretation of a highly desirable collector's piece. It is just stunning in my eyes. I am curious if anyone has an idea of pricing and US delivery to dealers. I am first on the list at my dealer now. Can't wait....

114060 price increase and scarcity
I've noticed that the submariner no date has increased in price and is more desirable than ever. All steel sports Rolex are hard to get lately but it's a lot more rare to see a 114060 in the grey market these days. Interesting. BTW I LOVE THIS WATCH!IMG_0362.JPGSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
