Watch What-If Breitling Navitimer
"Watch What-If" is a special column on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer that asks the playful question "what if an iconic watch you know and love was offered in a different style?" The idea embraces a good timepiece's core design and has fun by offering new colors and material concepts to stimulate your senses. These ideas may be provocative, artistic, or just plain silly. This is about fun, Photoshop, and the celebration of wrist watch design and experimentation. The original design we work off will always be at the bottom of the article. The designs are brought to life by Beau Hudspeth who does the artwork and concepting after he and I choose the models and styles to focus on. These special design experiments are extremely time consuming and labor intensive but we hope you enjoy the results. Ideas and comments are more than welcome. Enough response may even lead to a round two of design of the same watch - so please comment below. You are also encouraged to suggest watches that make it into

3940/5140 vs. 5970/5270 Comparison..
I have been contemplating a perpetual calendar (5140) to compliment my perpetual calendar chronograph (5270). After doing extensive research I have noticed when comparing the perpetual calendars to their chronograph parallel the value just has not been there in the previous references which tells me maybe not to purchase the current 5140 if I were to go long for the future.. Looking at previous perpetual references.. the 3940 and prior has not done nearly as well as the 5970.. 3970 etc. The perpetual calendar chrono's mostly hold their retail value and or increase versus the 3940 etc.. which one can find at significant discounts below retail.. I know one is a chrono and the other is not.. but is there any other reason to this madness?

Have Pre-Owned Rolex Prices Gone Up?
Hi Everyone,I've set aside the funds to purchase my first pre-owned Rolex, and I'm set on either the Sub-C (116610LN) or ceramic GMT Master II (116710LN).From some forum digging, I've noticed that in the recent months, resale prices on these sports models are going for quite a bit more than they were just half a year ago (CONUS). I was wondering if pre-owned market prices have risen linearly over time and I should just buy now, or if this is a cyclical trend of sorts (i.e. Rolex supplies fewer watches to ADs in Q4) and I should wait a few months?In a similar vein, should I expect any value changes to these models following Baselworld 2018?Thanks, and hope everyone has a happy New Year!
