Man Finds Original LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm At Phoenix Goodwill Store For $5.99, Sells It For $35,000 (Plus An Omega Speedmaster!)
It's every watch collector's dream: to find a super-rare and valuable watch for sale for almost nothing at a thrift shop, estate/garage/car boot?sale or flea market. For Zach Norris, the dream became a reality recently when he walked into a Phoenix, Arizona?Goodwill store looking for a used push-pull golf cart only, to stop by and dig through the store's watch basket on his way out. Inside the basket filled with?Fossil watches with dead batteries (most priced around $15 according to Zach) was a watch,?face down, that caught his interest. The dial said "LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm." The price? $5.99. 2 OF 12 Zach knew the LeCoultre name and knew the watch was made by Jaeger-LeCoultre and probably was worth far more than the $5.99 price, but he didn't realize?it was a?vintage LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm from circa 1959 worth over $35,000. According to the price tag, the watch had been put out for sale the previous day, January 16, and although Zach had left empty-handed in terms

Court Says Swatch Can Cut Supply To Competing Watchmakers: What Does It Mean?
Swatch is having a good week.? First, the Swiss National Bank decided to purchase back an unlimited amount of Francs, causing a big jump in its share price.?Now, courts have ruled in favor of Swatch in a suit filed by 11 watchmakers that would've forced the company to continue to supply both movements and parts to competitors moving forward.? Now, they don't have to.So what does this mean? Well, it's hard to say for sure but you can bet this will hurt a host of brands - big and small - that rely on ETA hearts for their pieces.? But, at the same time, this ruling will hopefully lead to actual innovation in the watch industry by forcing more brands to build their own calibers.? And to any of you who says "But hey, manufacture movements are always really expensive!" check out NOMOS and then get back to us.Oh, and of course, even if ETA stops supplying movements, there will always be people like Sellita making movements to the exact same specifications.?Check out more details the WSJ.

Rose gold royal oak. (Extra thin)
Hi people. No wish to over explain why- but I'd really like to know if anyone has one/ pics???15202OR has just nudged its way into my wish list and I'd love see pics of it other than from the AP site itself. Ie wrist shots etc Ideally comparison with 15400 ( which I have already ) so I can gauge just how thin it is.... Sounds silly but I hope it isn't too thin for my tasteI'm hoping to get to Marcus next month to try it on but would really appreciate some shots if u have them. Cheers

New Piece!
This arrived today!!! Another great transaction with DavidSW. I follow Rolex more than Omega and this piece only came on my radar last week. Haven't bought an Omega in 10 years, but I couldn't pass this one up. Love the Vintage look with the modern technology. No complaints so far. I wasn't sure what I was going to think of the PCL's, but since I also have a Sub I like the change.

delivery started :-)
I will make better pics within a few days ...too dark right now so this is a bad pictureBut give me 2 or 3 days ... when I have some time I can tell you they are damn nice irl. Much better than the pics we all saw
