Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Large Date Moon-Phases
Girard-Perregaux reveals the complexity behind the dial, adding a level of mechanical involvement to an already dramatic timepiece. The movement's wheels and levers co-star with the large date and moon-phase displays to increase appreciation of the intricate inner engine.Too often, the fascinating interplay of components that power timepiece displays is hidden behind a dial. Girard-Perregaux draws the curtain back with a dial fashioned from clear, tinted sapphire. The result is a smoked-glass effect that reveals the caliber beneath and that shows off the applied Art Deco hour markers to great effect.The smoked sapphire dial highlights the displays while leaving the movement visible for all to see. Focusing front and center, the large date and moon-phase displays grab your attention.

Need advice on choosing my first Patek - 5146g
Hi All,My first post in this forum. I have been looking around for the next piece in my collection and have decided to go for my first Patek. I have decided on the AC 5146g and wanted to get everyone's advice on color, movement and deployant buckle.

The wife likes the grey but in the dealer's shop, I

5980 SS on a Strap
Has anyone tried fitting their 5980 SS watch with a strap? I am curious to know how that went. I am really interested in this piece if the strap was an option with the SS version ala 5726A, be it custom. I like the Rose gold that Patek has out but I am not a rose gold person.

Soo.....I just bought a Smurf
So while walking around an AD I tried on a few pieces, planning to focus on a blue faced Milguass, only to focus on the white gold sub....And the wife responds with I love that one! It's my favorite! Fast forward to the drive home, where she states: I always liked that one, you should call (our AD). as I get home, I called, placed the deposit, going to pick up when I arrive in town in 2 weeks. Damn these things are addictive.

Rolex OysterQuartz Presidential
Hi there. My name is John. 34 years young and have started to look at Rolex's. I am in the market for a nice affordable time piece. I recently stumbled across this completed auction https://m.ebay/itm/263464143702#vi__app-cvip-panelThe watch looks very cool. Doesn't look like the dial is original to the watch. Seems to be solid 18k including the band. Never heard of the Oysterquartz and wasn't even aware they made a quartz. Is this a decent price one can expect to pay?Does this watch run on Battery?Excuse me but my knowledge is very limited. Any help is much appreciated and welcomed. Thank you in advance for your reply's.
