Amazing service
I have been looking far and wide to purchase the new brietling superocean watch. After looking every where I finally found the watch I wanted. Or at least I thought. I found the 2010 Breilting Superocean Abyss black on black 42mm. Great piece.After countless emails (from me lol) I purchased the watch on Tuesday (14th) I got the watch today and it was amazing..but after wearing my Rolex Deepsea 44mm it looked small. So I emailed back the owner Geoff Frear with Provident Jewlery in Florida.I wanted the big dog 44mm Superocean. Within 10 minutes of me changing my mind he was on the phone with me discussing my options. Ten minutes later the awesome superocean abyss was back in the box on its way back to Florida... This is a watch that will be my fathers day gift.. I will have the new watch by this Friday17TH!!. Thats 9000 miles of total travel back and forth for me to have the ONE Im an attorney in California...This is truly service that is above and beyond. I highly reccomend this AD. The

In the market for Moonwatch
Guys and Gals,I am in the market of a Moonwatch and visited an AD today. I have been offered $4400 out the door for both 39.7 Moonwatch with leather and the speedmaster pro with hesalite. I am kind a stuck as to which one should I get. Both are same price. I was told if I need a nato strap with speedmaster pro then that is an extra $400 or $500. The speedmaster professional with sapphire crystal is offered to me for $5200 out the door with clear case back.What do you guys think? I posted some photos here with these watches on my wrist.image.jpg

What constitutes "vintage"?
Hello everyone here at TRF! Lately I've been reading a lot about the high costs and lengthy service times that accompany a Patek timepiece. Although costly and requiring an exorbitant amount of time to service no matter what, there seems to be and even more significant commitment when dealing with a timepiece that is considered vintage. In one instance, I remember reading someone with a vintage piece being told to expect a 4 year turn-around and a five-figure bill when all was said and done. Ouch!So, my question becomes when does a watch become vintage and therefore subject to these. higher servicing costs? Is it merely a matter of age (i.e. Pieces older than 20, 30, etc. years)? Is it a function of whether the piece remains in production? Or is it something else entirely?Obviously these types of things factor into my decision to keep my pieces or perhaps trade them at some point down the line. Afterall, I am fine with (but not happy about) waiting 6 months for a service and ge

Thinking of selling my 5711/1A?
Hi everyone. Debating to hold or sell my Patek 5711/1A blue for either 5712/1A or 5726/1A white dial. Is hard to justified for price differences? I do have a Patek 5065/1A. So similar? What to do??? What would you do? Thanks for any advice? Regards, Mike

Not mine but awesome! 116610LN
I frequent a local pawnshop. Good people in there mostly. This was in a display today. It was the first time I ever put one on. It was a sweet moment about $7,000 over my budget. But it felt good. No pictures of it on. But there is the memory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
