Announcing The Speakers List For The 2015 HODINKEE Collectors Summit
Two weeks ago, we announced a new project called the HODINKEE Collectors Summit. This completely private, off-the-record event is something totally different for the watch world. The watch brands that typically underwrite the events you all attend will not be present. Nor will the folks that work for the brands. This day is about true collectors talking with one another, and learning from the absolute best independent minds in watches. The topics that will be covered are varied, but with a focus on knowledge sharing to ensure that this information lives on with a new set of enthusiasts. The response to this special project has been overwhelming (you can still request tickets here), and today we are thrilled to announce the speakers list for the 2015 HCS. If you're a watch guy, get ready, because this will blow you away. 1 OF 1 Predictions For Future Gainers And Decliners In The Vintage Watch World �C Mr. Aurel Bacs To say that Aurel Bacs understands vint

AP RO 15300 bracelet links and accessories
Dear all,I'm about to go for an AP RO 15300, it's huge step up for me but I'll give it a shot.First question, on a 15300 with 18 link pieces on the bracelet, how big of wrist will that fit? I have aroun 18cm wrist (about 7 inches). The person I bought it from will include one extra link piece as he was not entirely sure that 18 is enough for an 18cm wrist.What do you think?Next question,What accessories are included in the box from new?Outer box? Inner box? Manual? Certificate? Hangtag? What else? I know extremely little about AP. All I know is that they're beautiful Thank you!

Current Speedmaster Professional MSRP
Quick question for the Omega experts....What is the current MSRP for a Speedy Pro (3750.50.00)? I saw $4,050 recently on a google search but then heard that Omega just had a price increase. I'm thinking of adding this iconic watch to my collection. Would appreciate this info if you have itThanks guys

5167R or other RG?
Hi all, my question is simple, I have an AP ceramic diver, black, am getting back in a few months THE watch I loved the most out of all I've had, the PP 5712, and I'm considering the 5167R.Might sound stupid as I'm not a huge RG fan, but I would like to be at 3 watches and think a RG piece should be in there, the idea of having 3 watches of different materials and appearance interests me, I wouldn't want 1 SS, 1 WG and 1 PT for example, yeah different materials but they look alike.What I like about the PP is the ultra thin and light, the rubber strap, the brown dial which looks really cool, the fact that even if it's RG it's very under the radar, and good WR.Do you think it's a good choice, would you choose this one as third or would you have other suggestions? If you have it needs to be on rubber, and probably no more than 40-45K, and basically that's it, don't hesitate to tell me your opinion and ideas if you think I should get another model.Thanks in advance guys

Canadian Import Duties
For those Canadians who have managed to bring a Rolex in from the U.S. or elsewhere does anyone know what the import duty is (apart from GST or provincial taxes). I have been on the Govt Canada website but still can never quite figure it out. Guess I should call but I thought someone might know.
