Unique Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Gold 50th Anniversary Of 007 Goldfinger Watch Sells For $113,000
A one-of-a-kind, solid 18k yellow gold Omega watch produced in honor of the 50th anniversary of the James Bond 007 Goldfinger film from 1964 recently sold for 106,000 Swiss Francs (about $113,000) via an online Christie's James Bond auction earlier today, on September 17th, 2014. That is interesting because the amount is about eight times the retail value of the watch (even though there never will be a retail version of this watch), and it is said to have been the highest yielding item of the auction (see Christie's Goldfinger The 50th Anniversary auction here). The auction estimate for the watch was 8,000 - 12,000 GBP and it went for 70,000 GBP.Based on the standard Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial watch (hands-on here), the piece unique Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Gold for Goldfinger has a unique 18k yellow gold dial, with matching case and bracelet. Given that it is part of the Omega James Bond collection, you can see the "007" logo as the counterweight of the seconds hand

The UTS Bauhaus 1000 Meter Collection: Possibly UTS's Most Attractive Watch Yet
UTS Munchen watch company is literally comprised of basically one extremely dedicate watch maker who puts each UTS watch together by hand. Utterly German in their form and function, these venerable watches make wonderful tools. Which is part of their appeal and drawback at the same time. The watches excel are their function, but could be described as being overly clinical in appearance. Of course it depend on who you ask, but this new line of UTS Bauhaus watches is certainly a fresh and appealing look that maintains the image and history of the brand.Bauhaus design is difficult to describe, but has German origination and is deeply focused on function. Though it resembles minimalism, it is not that strictly speaking. For me, it is more a minimalist version of art deco or art nouveau. The real display of Bauhaus aesthetic is on the face of the watch. The rest of it is more or less standard UTS fare, which is not bad by any means.I am impressed that despite it being a 1000 meter diver, th

Does Anyone Have An All Gold Breitling
They seem exceptionally few and far between. Actually, stumbled into one at Macy's of all places. Think it was a Chronomat. Bracelet was impressive to be sure. Given the number of PM Rolex's on bracelet, was wondering if there any members that sport one. Pictures of course are welcome.

Look for AD - NY
Hi all,I'm from Brazil and i'm relishing the chance that my family are going to US next month to buy my first fine watch. After some research, i found that buying on of these online(Amazon,jomashop) would private me of having the international warranty of an omega watch... For someone living outside US like me, its a very important thing.. So here are my questions:1- Where can i find a good AD to buy my watch in new york? Someone offering a good service with good discounts.2- Whats the difference between buying a omega online, on the stores cited above, or through an AD? The watch would be a Seamaster...Thanks everyone =)
