Alain Silberstein Watches took active part in the quartz boom
It is quite surprising to know that it introduced a hands free smoking ring back then which was an instant hit. Today this company deals mainly in computers and other electronic gadgets. It started its watch expedition way back in the 70's. They were a major manufacturer of quartz watches during those days. That is to say that Alain Silberstein Watches took active part in the quartz boom and were quite successful in doing so.

What price could I sell this badboy for? Got the box but no papers!

Full service on a 2254.50
Hello, everyone!I am in the process of buying a used 2254.50, the watch is in excelent condition, with the bracelet having been refinished recently to look like new.However, the warraty card is dated July 2004 and the service history is unknown, so I assume it would be advisable to have a full service of the watch after purchase, since it is a 9 year old piece and it seems to be running a bit slow. Having that in mind, how much should I expect to pay for a full service/overhaul of the watch from an independant watchmaker? (I will be in the US for about a week only, so I don't have time to send the watch to Omega).I am very excited about this purchase, it is such an iconic watch! I was torn between this piece and a Seamaster 300, but looked hard at both and decided on the 2254.Thanks in advance!

Seriously there isn't a better looking Nautilus IMO! Sigh..
Haven't seen this specific Nautilus in the flesh, but the pictures alone make me sad. I must say that I do have a preference towards the clean dials on the Nautilus design, over complications. I like the dressier Pateks with complications.This specific blue dial, with the rose gold, and on leather strap, is just out of this world.I should be receiving my Patek 5711 blue dial in a few weeks. I have handled it many times and I absolutely love it. It is the perfect everyday Nautilus for me as it is SS, extremely versatile with casual to formal, the WR is high, the dial is just so beautiful, it has the beautiful bracelet, and not to mention it fits my budget.I don't know if I could justify this 5711R as my one and only even if it did fit the budget, as I love a Nautilus on a bracelet. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to buy it as my second if I had the budget; unfortunately not the case.Do any of our members on here own this beautiful reference?

Pam ruined me...
I'm a Rolex guy. Have two subs, all I ever wanted. Once I joined this forum I fell in love with panerai. Finally after buying a 000 I now have a hard time wearing my subs. It's so small! Not just the body but the face! I find myself lusting after more panerai models!Ugh!!! Damn you Pam!
