Would you buy a RO without papers?
I have found a yellow gold Royal Oak Dual Time from a very reputable seller, it's the exact watch I was looking for.The only catch is that it is without box & papers. I think this is reflected in the price as it is about 15% cheaper than equivalent watches with boxes & papers, though these are in the USA and I am in the UK. That being said it's still an expensive watch and I'm a bit concerned about what I will get come trade-in in a couple of years. Has anyone had any experience with a Royal Oak without boxes & papers? Do dealers still give a relatively fair value, given I'm getting it for a low price, or do they bid nothing for them?

Omega Service.
Hi, question for you guys, I got my estimate from Omega today for service on my 2592.54 SMP. Its only 7 years old. They(Swatch Group) want 896.00 for full service on this watch. This includes new crown, new hands, new gaskets, overhaul the 3301 movement and polish the few scratches off the case and bracelet. The hands in my opinion were fine, Finks told me the lume was starting to peel and were afraid pieces would get into the movement. Original dial to remain.Is this a fair estimate or am I getting hosed? Granted its a genuine overhaul but jeeez!!! If I knew where else I could send it I might tell Omega to send it back. Any help appreciated and thanks in advance. AL

Nashville Boutique opened today!
Hey folks, just a quick note to say that the Nashville, TN Omega Boutique opened today at The Mall at Green Hills across from Tiffany's. Today was their soft opening with a grand opening sometime at the first of the year. Just got back from a quick look-see. Great staff, inventory looks to be at at 90%. One case with a defective latch was empty... Store was full of people. In the 45 minutes I was there, someone picked up a Solar Impulse and someone else looked to be picking up a Planet Ocean. BTW, did not see a PO Liquid Metal. sorry no pics :(

5070P ..is the market getting insane ?
I love this watch and for me it is the perfect piece but I have to admit I am biased because I am a HUGE 5070 fanPersonal taste oaf course but for me it is the most perfect watch ever madeOn the other hand .. a 5970 is in the same league. Very nice an probably the second most perfect ever made LOLOfcourse the complication is more interestingBut since when is a 5070P more expensive then a 5970G ???These are 3 links to a well known secondhand dealer. This must be one of the most important if you look at his stock!5070P.watches.de/en/products/pa...num-5070p-3582and.watches.de/en/products/pa...e-sealed-5070p5970.watches.de/en/products/pa...01-5970-g-3403Hugh ????Is rarity so important ?Another member on this forum once called the 5070P the million dollar watch �� because of it's potential.Once again, a great watch that 5070P but where will it end ?If you had one �� would a big price jump convince you to sell it ? Or if you don't have one �� there must be a limit right ?
