Speedmaster + Provenance = BIG $$$!!!!
I'm following this auction for a pre-moon Speedmaster that appears to have an interesting history. Absolutly amazing what provenance will do to the value of a watch! The current bid of $7100, is more than twice the going price, assuming it's a caliber 321 movement (no movement pictures and the time of purchase could make it a late 321 or an early 861) How high will it go? As I type, the auction doesn't end for another 24 hours!Auction link:cgi.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:ITThe seller states that she is the wife of co-author of: Dark Waters:An Insider's Account of the NR-1:The Cold War's UndercoverNuclear Sub: An Insider's Account of the NR-1 The Cold War's Undercover Nuclear SubA former crewmember and a journalist join forces to tell the absorbing tale of the deepest secret weapon in the U.S. Navy's submarine force, the deep-diving nuclear submarine NR-1. A brainchild of the brilliant and controlling Admiral Rickover, even her construction involved a host of technical problems.

Heartbreak with SD43
So after waiting 6 months to get my hands on my first new Rolex (normally a vintage Sub guy) it finally arrived, a brand spanking new SD43. After trying every micro adjustment and combination of number of link etc, I have come to the decision that it's just not comfortable for me. It is a seriously beautiful watch, but for my 7 inch wrist it just seems too heavy and not ideal for the daily watch that I was hoping for. I guess its back to Vintage for me. Sometimes you gotta know when to fold em.

116520 Daytona dial differences

The difference seemed minor (and it probably is for most people) but I had to find out in real life. Tim (train-time) had noticed it as well and with his help I managed to trace a few other black faced Daytona’s to do some comparison. side by side.jpgSo what are the differences? There are 3:1)Ticks at the 27 and 28 positions (single tick vs double tick)2)The shine of the sub dials3)The boldness of the fonts on the sub dialsSingleclose up 1 tick 2.jpg Doubleclose up 2 tick 2.jpgThe shine of the sub dials on the double tick is much more profound. It is hard to capture in a picture, but from a distance it is really noticeable.
