Rare Flagship Marcello C. Senatore Chronograph Watch Available
This is a watch that I have wanted for a long time. These are almost never available from independent sellers, and it is a rare luxury to see one offered at less than retail. This is the Marcello C. Senatore watch, that I have mentioned before. This timepiece has a design intentionally reminiscent of the Rolex Daytona. It isn't a clone, it just uses some of the same design principles, and that is OK. The 42.5mm wide watch has a 22mm wide bracelet making it a good size, and actually a bit bigger than the Daytona.I really like how German Marcello C. is able to modify the automatic Valjoux 7750 movement to give it a tri-compax layout. This is more attractive that the 7750's standard layout. The dial hands and main hands are strong looking and legible. Legible faceted hour markers look great, while the subdial design hearkens the Daytona perfectly.The bracelet is very different on the Marcello C. Senatore. It has a very fashionable look, which is an interesting contrast from the functional

Hello Panerai world
I have a recently found myself being interested in panerai again. Last piece I had was in 2006 and have not really followed the brand that much since then. Anyways, I'm starting to look at a possible purchase but there are so many existing and upcoming models that I figured I'd come here for a little guidance. From the Pam's I've had in the past I managed to make a little money on resale but I understand that the market is not what it was so I'm looking for something that will not break the bank. Under 10 k for sure. I really wanted a 47 case with either a 372, 422, 673 but I really don't think I can pull it off. I have 7 in wrists and from what I can see that is borderline. The nearest AD is 5 hours away so I can't really try one on so I'll just stick with what I know....44mm. My wish list is short and hopefully you can steer me in the right direction. -44mm luminor polished case-manual or automatic wind -sandwich dial in black or tobaco-gold hands is a must. - date not necessar

Where to get watch valued for insurance?
UK based, just purchased an 'off the shelf' rolex. Put it on house insurance as a named item with high value etc. They are asking for a valuation certificate. Contacted a few places and they are telling me I need to leave it with them for a few days, etc, which I am not comfortable with.Is this normal procedure?This is basically a rolex that is widely availaible worldwide. I was hoping i could just get a valuation issued on the spot somewhere.Any advice would be great, thanks

Tell me more about my Rolex! (gifted from father)
Hi all! First time poster here. I have long been into watches, and have recently received a special gift for my 25th birthday, my fathers Rolex datejust. I remember seeing this watch throughout my entire life, and to say I'm excited would be an understatement. Anyway, I'd like to know the reference and as much about this watch as possible, and I'll attach three pictures I just took. He purchased the watch in Switzerland while on vacation there, in the early 1980's, he thinks it might have been 1982 but he's not entirely sure. I know it's 36mm with a jubilee bracelet, a smooth bezel, and what seems like a black or maybe even a slight matte black dial. It has just returned from it's second service by Rolex in the over the 30+ years the watch has been alive, and I think it's looking great. New acrylic crystal, polished, certain parts of movement replaced, etc. Anyway, tell me what you think, and I'd really love to hear more about this watch from true experts. Tell me everything and anythi
