Artya Son Of A Gun Dancing Skulls Watch
When are skulls on a watch the less controversial choice? When skulls replace bullets of course. As a limited edition (of perhaps only one), Yvan Arpa's Artya brand based out of Geneva has created a special piece for Halloween 2013 of his Son of a Gun watch collection with skulls on the dial - as well as on the bracelet. This is perhaps the first watch I have seen with a dedicated bracelet made of skulls. It also may be the first bracelet from the Artya brand. Whether you are into wearing skulls or not, this is a watch worth knowing about if you want to be a well-rounded watch collector.What is it about mortality that makes us like to consider its end? We love horror movies, zombies, morbid fashion accessories, and other allusions to death. Few people actually wish to die, yet we love to play with the notion of death in an almost quasi-rebellious way that seems to suggest, "I've conquered death by embracing the notion of it while I am healthy." Or perhaps wearing skulls is more barbari

Ebel Classic Hexagon GMT Rose Gold Watch: Two Times Done Well
The last few years have been a bit of a revitalization period for Swiss Ebel watches. The prominent brand was growing a bit staid, and it needed some new exciting watches, especially men's watches. So it brushed the dust off of it's classic hexagon case (you know, it roughly has six sides), and started releasing some new models. The new and larger watches are typified by the case shape and five screws, often with then faceted hands. The good looks of the watches combined with some serious marketing efforts have really helped Ebel out. One of the things that I really like about their designs is the simplicity. A few of the watches are a bit more "out there" in appeal, but this Classic Hexagon GMT watch really epitomizes simple good looks. Seeing the watch itself is the true convincing element to appreciating the timepiece. The case is slightly rounded not to look flat, and the size of the larger version is impressive. Further, the polish and finish (bezel and much of the face are polish

Considering flipping for 233
Hi everyone, I'm considering flipping an Exp II for a 233 with $ out of pocket. Just wondering what everyone recommends. Should I do it? If so, what should I expect to pay for a preowned 233? Do they hold their value like Rolex? I was looking at a 2008 233, but I feel 9K for it, it's too high. Opinions?

Controversial Question: Is it time for TRF to limit Trusted Seller Prices??
We have all seen the recent shortages on many of the popular Rolex range..and let’s be honest, there are only the Grey Market Sellers benefitting from this. As TRF is a highly reputable forum with Hundreds of thousand of active users, do you think it’s time for the TRF moderators to make a RULE & restrict sales on current models to MRSP??As an example, on many sites when selling tickets for concerts, sporting events, sales are only allowed at ‘Face Value’ to halt Ticket Touts.In reality, what is the difference between a ticket tout buying all the tickets for a concert on the day of release (and everyone seems to dislike a ticket tout) and a gray watch dealer buying all the stock from AD’s and marking it up for silly prices??Think hard about my comparison and then reply. Vintage models & discontinued models then of course it’s fair game, I’m talking solely about current inventory.
