Affordable Vintage: Cyma WWW
In the early 1940’s, the British Ministry of Defense (MoD) published a set of specifications for a wristwatch design that they wanted to use for their soldiers. The specifications are commonly referred to as WWW, or Watch Wristlet Waterproof. Twelve companies submitted watches that met the criteria: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor and Vertex. These twelve watches together are called the “Dirty Dozen” by military watch collectors. Interestingly, the war ended before these great watches could be issued to soldiers for combat duty.Of the twelve brands, the Cyma is one of most popular for several reasons. The Cyma WWW is housed in a solid stainless steel case, measuring a respectable 38mm wide not including the large crown. Many of the other manufacturers used chrome plated cases which have survived to varying degrees, making the steel case of the Cyma easier to find in nice condition. Also, the 38mm case is the l

Thinking about purchasing RO gold bracelet
Hello, I currently own a Royal oak 15400 Rose gold white dial on a brown leather strap. I really love this watch but have thought about purchasing the bracelet for it for some time now. My local boutique gave me a quote of 18k for the rose gold bracelet. Do any of you guys now a different place where the bracelet can be purchased? or is going straight to the boutique my best move.

I think I found the only new blue 5711 in the country!
Forgive the length of my first (!) post, it's been a long time in the making:After years and years of wandering through the hinterland of watch collecting, I have finally decided to jump into the deep end of the pool. I, like many here on this forum, have been through more watches than I care to count, yet few have held my interest for long. My biggest issue has been comfort -- I cannot wear a watch, no matter how iconic or desirable, that doesn't feel like it disappears on my wrist. I bought a SubC, sold it in a few months. I'e been through the big watch phase of Bell&Ross and Panerai, only to be disappointed. I found an AP 15300, but the bracelet, although beautiful, just didn't work for me and it, too, was sold. On a whim, I tried on a white 5711 at my local AD (more than I thought I'd ever actually spend, but we know how that goes��) and was struck by the slinky bracelet and lightness of the watch, which fit like a glove. But I really wanted the blue. Thus began the infuri

Need advise on Rolex 14060M
Dear watch lovers, I have opportunity to buy a Rolex 14060M random series. Would think that this will complement my polar 16570 perfectly. The sub comes with no accessories, watch only with 10 links, slight Polish previously. No visible damage from the photos. My question will be, whats the fair price of this watch?
