Concord has provided an image of the Concord C1 Worldtimer watch
Concord has provided an image of the Concord C1 Worldtimer watch to be soon unveiled at Baselworld 2008. The company has not mentioned any technical characteristics yet, on the photo you will notice a rotating world time indicator visible through a semi-circular aperture in the black carbon fiber dial featuring the bold combination of colors. The C1 Worldtimer also spotlights a date display and sweep seconds. It is equipped with a self-winding Swiss movement.

Basel
Anyone have any insight as to what will be released at Basel?

Help needed - AD or not
I have decided to purchase a 5170, having sourced both a 5170G and 5170J new in the box from AD and from non AD sources.Herein lies the dilemma - the purchase price from the ADs is about $18K all in at the end of the day. One of the non AD watches has the papers and everything blank. When speaking to one AD they have told me that some watches are sourced from other countries where currency exchange rates make it favourable to purchase them offshore as resellers. Occasionally an AD will go out of business and liquidate inventory to the reseller market. Whenever a Patek is sold the AD reports the sale to Patek and the watch is recognized. The resellers even if the papers are blank are not able to do this.Is this correct? Does it matter from a warranty basis? Could Patek refuse to service a grey watch as some Ad would like you to belive?Clearly the pedigree from factory through AD to the end user is of value but how much? Thanks

Celebrating Christmas with my
Submariner. The 14060M COSC non-date. Not new, I purchased it NIB when they were first introduced by Rolex back in the mid 2000 era. I have not had occasion to have it serviced. It was recently checked out by the Rolex watchmaker at Wynn's Rolex boutique, and pronounced fit and healthy. I am and hope you all are as well.
