Thomas Ninchritz Vice Versa Watch Available On James List
The reason this watch is called the Vice Versa should be pretty clear. Thomas Ninchritz took an ETA Unitas 6498 manually wound movement and was able to mount it backwards on the watch. He calls this his Caliber TN 203. At the same time, he was able to move the watch dial so that it is located in an smaller, off-centered positionon what would be the rear of the watch. So what you are left with is a timepiece whose dial is the rear of a heavily modified Unitas 6498 which has been highly decorated, and has a small watch face on the dial.Appeal here is not only in the unique "adjustment" of the base movement, but also the fact that you can see the large balance wheel oscillating all the time on the front of the watch. I like how Thomas Ninchritz used a type of circular strip polish on the mainplate of the movement, as well as the overall decoration. There is also some hand engraving on the balance wheel cock, and a swan neck fine adjustment. Thomas Ninchritz isn't the only one to use this

To Flip or Not To Flip??? That is the question!!!
I have never considered myself a serial WIS flipper as I typically wait months or at least a year before I trade a piece or several pieces for a new watch. Today, I am in a little bit of a confusion as I might become a serial flipper like our friend Eric. I am very interested in a deal that just came up. I can trade my RO 15300 (which I've owned for a little bit less than a month) plus another watch and upgrade to a BNIB ROO Diver. Would you do it???Comments are really needed!!!

My Collection Got a New Addition
Hi Everyone,I have an awesome story that I wanted to share from a couple of days ago.On Friday, I came home early from work. My fianc��e and I had dinner plans, so I was just hanging out around the apartment until she got home. I heard the door open a couple of hours before I expected her. She came into our room and handed me a beautiful card. While I was reading the card, she left and came back with a very large box (you all probably see where this is going by now). Exactly four months before our wedding day, my fianc��e wanted to surprise me with an engagement gift of my own. I am still in shock that she surprised me with this gift and went through so much effort to do this for me. Even cooler was that she knew I regretted selling my Speedmaster Pro and replaced it with another Speedmaster that will always be so much more special to me. Okay, onto the pics!Reverso missing from the group shot

Put the Speedmaster on steel today...
Its an aftermarket bracelet. I couldnt really swing the price of the Omega bracelet, and its not correct either, but I like it a lot. Eventually I will get the correct period bracelet in steel for sure! Here are some quick shots. Look at that dial in the sunlight.........

New shoes for my Patek
And you thought it might be a strap.No, new shoes just as the title states.Blue shoes to go with my 5711 blue dial.Midnight navy cordovan or crup as the English call it.Unfortunately I'm still working on capturing the beauty of the blue correctly.
