Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Automatic
Henry Ward Beecher said “True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.” Henry would have liked the Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Automatic. It reduces the wristwatch to its essential elements: hours, minutes, date. The luminescent hands make sure you won’t be lost in the dark. The Jazzmaster Slim is available in 40 and 43mm cases, in stainless steel and pink gold plate, with black or silver dial, and on black or brown strap or a Milanese-style mesh bracelet. Power is provided by an ETA 2892 movement. The Jazzmaster Slim is in stores now priced at $695 – $795.
Decisions decisions...
Recently I posted an inquiry about choosing between a new style rose gold rubber clad and a the rose gold 44mm offshore. Well, since I couldn't decide based on pics I picked up the 44 and figured having the two would make my decision easier...not exactly!! Now I have these two beautiful pieces each with their own charm but I have to let one go!! Agh!! I'm torn between the refinement of the 44 and the classic look of the rubber clad...this is going to be interesting! Anyway, thought I'd post some pics (I had the boutique mount the rubber clad on a Don Ramon hornback to dress it up a bit). Let me know what you all think! -Carlos

590 vs. 634
Hey guys I'm on the fence for a preowned 590 vs 634. I definitely like the aesthetics of the 634 better - but i feel the 590 on paper is a superior watch with its inhouse movement and 8day PR.Plus the 634 is $500 more expensive than the inhouse 590 on the secondary market if you can believe that.Would appreciate some guidance from Ristis out there. Cheers
Question - GMT Master II 16710
Was in an AD this afternoon browsing and came across a GMT Master II in their used/estate jewelry area. Took a look and was told by the salesman that the watch was a Y serial from approximately 2002. The bracelet had SEL and the case had lug holes. It appeared to me (admittedly a novice) to match what I would expect a 2002 Y serial to be based on my research. I was also told that the watch was serviced in house by their Rolex trained watchmaker and was guaranteed to have all authentic parts. I asked whether the dial, hands, and bezel were original or replaced during service, but the salesman didn't know. What struck me as odd was the dial had Swiss T<25 below the 6 o'clock position. I didn't expect a tritium dial on a circa 2002 watch. Does anybody know if some of these dials were still being used in 2002? I would have expected a Swiss Made dial and Superluminova. I guess it's possible that the dial was replaced during service with a dial the watchmaker had left over, but it was my
