Two Men Bought The Very Same Kind Of Watch On The Same Day In The Same Town, One Paid $950,000 More
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

Negative or disappointing PP experience?
I was indirectly involved with the return of a PP 5170 to PP for a complete repair/service. It was in an optically bad shape with broken smashed glass as the owner had been involved in a severe accident. The case was neither badly scratched nor dented, but appeared to have some dinks here and there from daily use. The breaking of the glass caused it to get in contact with the hour and minute pointers which got bent out of shape from the top toward the dial (from outside to inside along their length). The dial got scratched due to the broken glass.The watch was brought to the main AD of PP in Switzerland at the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich who could not perform the repairs in their own little atelier. They sent it to PP in Geneva for repair. After two months the first call was made to the AD to enquire about the state of repairs. The status was unknown and we were told to call in a week. One week later the answer was that the watch was still being repaired, with no further details. About tw

Monday��s and ADs
I got the call this past Friday that my 116500LN had arrived. I have been on the list since last year and of course the call comes when I am out of the area. Regardless, the AD held it for me till Monday. It was a loonnng weekend to say the least. The staff helped make this experience one I'll always remember and I am thankful to have a great AD to do business with. For many reasons this purchase and it's timing were monumental, however to make it even better I also picked up a gift for my father. He and I have shared a passion for watches for many years and now in his retirement and this coming Father's Day, he will have his first Rolex. One that he has always wanted.... the Explorer 1.Just wanted to share one of the best Mondays I can remember. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When it's The One, you just know (Incoming)
The world of horology is a relatively new hobby of mine, within the past couple of years or so. The first watch I ever saw that really captivated me and opened my eyes to the beauty of watches was the BLNR -- it was simply stunning to me, and to this day has remained my #1.After several months, I began my quest to search for a daily wearer that I could pass down to my son when he grows up. I researched the topic to death, and purchased both a 14060M and 16710BLRO. Both are incredible watches in their own rights, but I couldn't quite ever get rid of the BLNR bug. My head said to try a couple of other watches, but my heart couldn't move past the BLNR.I've tried on 6-digit GMTs at an AD several times, but have gotten the chance to see a BLNR in person due to the popularity. That all changed today when this beauty arrived. It's absolutely perfect and even more gorgeous than I thought it would be. When I first put it on, I immediately knew the search is over. It just feels right, wi
