VicenTerra GMT-3 Watch
This watch isn't realyet. But it likely will be. VicenTerra has an interesting offer for the first 100 people who put down money for one of these interesting GMT-3 watches. If they pre-order, it will cost them only 5,000 Swiss Francs as opposed to the anticipated retail price of 15,000 Swiss Francs. The catch of course is that 100 people need to ante up, and when it comes to watches, we never know just how long it will take for something to reach production - though it usually does.VicenTerra doesn't even have a website yet (that I could find), though they do have a Facebook page here (where you can get more details, etc...).If you are really sold on the brandthey will even sell you stock in the company...So what is this all about? Well the first planned watch from the new VicenTerra brand is the GMT-3. Large and tonneau cased, it will sport a steel case (not sure about the size) with a uniquely modified Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement. The modifications will give it the time, retrog

I had really wanted a Rolex but couldn't afford one. Anyway a few months later we were going on another Caribbean cruise with my parents and I ended up pushing the boat out and buying a Yachtmaster Rolex. I sold the Omega to one of the guys I worked with for the price I paid and

Calatrava 96
Hi everyone. So I've found a 96 I'm eager to get but it does have initials on the back. Was wondering about your thoughts on this if it is otherwise a clean watch with original band and buckle. What do you think would be a fair price without box or papers? Thanks for your time.

first rolex for wife
Getting my wife a surprise present to celebrate getting her dream job.I want to get her something timeless - something that, in 20 years, will still be a prominent feature of her collection. If I was getting one for a man it would be easy - a sub date/no date, but even though she's worn my sub and likes it, its way too big for her skinny wrists.Any suggestions on a timeless classic ladies piece?
