Two Men Bought The Very Same Kind Of Watch On The Same Day In The Same Town, One Paid $950,000 More Than The Other �C Who Got The Better Deal?
Here is a question I receive at a frequency of more than three times per week, in person: "How much should I pay for a 5513 Sub?"To answer that question with less than six caveats does the inquirer, and the world of vintage watches, a disservice. For a late 5513 with white gold surrounds, the answer would be one thing. For an early matte dial, another. For a gilt, yet another. For an underline, another. For a military-issued 5513, still another. For an Explorer-dialed piece, yet another. Oh, and any of the above could range from x to x times three for an NOS example with box and papers. You see, the thing with vintage watches is, there is no "market price" for an entire category of watches – and that is the first thing I want new vintage watch lovers to understand. And that is why I am here to tell you about something that happened on November 8th, 2015 in Geneva – to show you just how wild this market is, so that you don't try to make general assump

AP wedding bands
Anyone know if these are still sold anywhere? I went to the AP store in NYC and they told me they don't. I saw some on eBay but was wondering if anyone knew where else I can buy one. Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Omega Speedmaster Cal. 321
Hi everyone,I have an opportunity to buy a NOS Omega Speedmaster Cal. 321. All I know about the watch is that the Cal. 321 is a highly sought after movement, is that true?Also what sort of price would be reasonable for this watch, it is a purchase through a friend of mine who works at an AD.Thank you in advance :)

Complicated Patek or Rolex Comex?
I have been thinking about my next acquisition and it really comes down to two options. I have recently shifted much of my collection to PP. I just did a big trade consolidating several watches for a new 5970J . I have been thrilled with the result. The 5970 may be the perfect watch. It's the perfect size, the layout is legible, the look is extremely elegant and the quality is remarkable. I have also been wearing other PP's as daily wearers. Nevertheless, I have always wanted a COMEX. I love the Sea Dweller and the rarity factor and romanticism of the extreme divers watch has always captured my imagination. I know it only a dial and caseback but it just is really the only Rolex now that interests me along with other rare models like the Omani SeaDweller. Which would you guys lean to in the next round of insanity? Thanks and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all....

Could this be love? ... quick shot of my modest collection.
Just thought I catch these quick shots while they were all out and available, before sending them back into the darkness of the safety deposit box. They were all so happy to be out and about, just couldn't resist. (p.s. Explorer is sized and used by the wifey. She might even claim it is hers, but don't listen to her. )
