My First Grail Watch: Chris Vail
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're speaking with?Chris Vail, the guy behind the Kickstarter darling, Lew & Huey.watches-dealer (ABTW):?Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Chris Vail:?I own a micro-brand, Lew & Huey. I design and sell watches online. People either love what I do, or wish I'd fall into a tree-shredder. I think most of the industry would choose "shredder."ABTW: When did your fascination with watches start?Chris Vail:?Two years ago, when I stumbled on an online forum as I was looking for industry insights. I started off just thinking of them as a "product" like any other, very un-emotional about it. I ended up becoming as big a watch-geek as everyone else talking about watches online.ABTW: What was your first grail watch?Chris Vail:?I fell in love with the Omega Planet Ocea

Looks like I've joined the Breitling club!
Just purchased my first Breitling this evening. A nice Aerospace with a UTC. I have always been attracted to the Aerospace and the Emergency for purely aesthetic and technology reasons. The UTC was something else that set it apart on this timepiece.Better images later. Tell me what you think.

What is fair market value for a 321 pre-moon speedy?
Hi, I started out looking at a new PO, but I've been gravitating towards a 321 or 821 Speedy lately. I like, old cameras, old watches old HIfi, and I have a couple of restored '60's cars that are my passion. I also like the idea that like with anything vintage, if I buy it right, I can always get out of it later without too big a hit if I want something else.So now to the question; what is fair market value for a nice 321 pre-moon? I've seen some on E-bay, but the prices are all over the place... Since I would like to wear it, would I be better with an 821? Is there a dedicated Speedmaster forum where like minded Speedyheads congregate?Thanks for any input.Paul

How to verify Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss 6541
I have a Rolex passed down from my Grandpa and I don't know whether it's real or not. I have no certificate or box or anything like that. Could anyone tell me if there's any signs of it being fake, or how I could verify it? Thank you.
