Photo Report: Inside The New Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique In NYC
Madison Avenue in New York is quickly becoming one of the best watch shopping streets in the world. Not only is there a stunning Vacheron Constantin Boutique on 64th street (open since 2011), and brand new boutiques from A. Lange & Söhne and Seiko, but as of this past Friday at 4 p.m., we now have an official Jaeger-LeCoultre store in NYC. And guess what? We were there first thing to photograph the whole damn thing. Click through for a photo report of the new Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique in NYC, now open for business.   2 OF 98 The selection of watches in the new JLC boutique is simply fantastic. Of course, you are going to see a wide selection of Reversos, including the awesome 1948 Reverso (introduced here). You will also find the full range of 1931 Reversos, which, as you may remember, do not even read "Jaeger-LeCoultre" on the dial. 3 OF 98 And if you're a die-hard Reverso fan?

Old Omega - Anyone know about this one?
I have an old Omega that was prolly made in 1968-1969. It was a gift I got back then but don't know anything about it - was hoping someone here might. Want to know if a $250 repair is worthwhile when balanced on its current value?Here's what I do know:Automatic movementAcrylic crystalSorry if this is a needle in the haystack

Platinum model pricing and availability
Just wondering whether or not platinum Patek models are a more limited in supply compared to other precious metals/stainless, and whether there is more flexibility in pricing similar to Rolex (I've been offered various platinum Rolex models at 30%+ off MSRP).The reason I'm curious is that I've been offered what I think is a nice price on a platinum Patek (5196p), when I was really in the market for white gold. However, if these models are more collectible, I might try to negotiate a bit more and stretch the wallet for platinum.Thanks for any input.

Collectibility?
I always thought that collectibility was part of the Panerai special edition fun. These are low production watches after all. However, I was soured to this side of it when the new Cali dial watches were introduced. This, in part, lead me to sell off my 249. Initially, prices held and I thought perhaps I over reacted. Looking at the For Sale section today I am saddened to see how far 249 prices have fallen in the secondary market.I personally will no longer take collectibility into account with my future Panerai purchases. Re-releasing special editions in anyway just stinks. Sorry for the rant, but it just hit home today.

Ready for Takeoff
Loving the white dial in the light. Have a good weekend everyone. D0D6BC7E-C9CD-4D5B-AA0F-FEF18AAA2E9A.jpeg
