Jaeger LeCoultre Bumper Automaticwatch
The dealer does not want to say, but if we were to guess that we would have to say this watch is to the 1940s. One of the main reasons that we fell in love with this watch is due to the aged look of the dial. While many of the watches we feature is blank in appearance, and often times restored, this watch has this unique old quality we could not pass. If you happen to be on the market for a watch that exudes all the qualities mentioned above, we believe that this is a great discovery. The price of $1350 the dealer request seems fair considering the age and General State of this beautiful and classic clock. Click here to learn more.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500M And Grand Carrera Calibre 36 Watches
The two watches who received the award are the new Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 and the Aquaracer Heuer new tag 500 M Calibre 5 movement. The Grand Carrera Calibre 36 is a strange watch with a concept of sound design for measure 1/10 of a second accuracy in its complication chronograph - in a unique way. The best way to appreciate it is to see the video here. This is a cool concept, but will not be a seller of volume high as the Aquaracer 500 M. the new Aquaracer model is very well done - really advance the concept of a "professional diver watch" for Tag Heuer. You can learn more about what I think the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500 m here. It has an automatic movement, 500 metres from the resistance to water and comes in different colours and materials that each have a strong industrial feeling which is still being a timepiece inline good taste. Recipients of the fair if you ask me. Through the Europa Star. Gallery site: Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 Watch

Insurance Appraisal Needed for RO 15300
Recently I went to an AP Boutique for an Insurance Appraisal (Royal Oak 153000) that I acquired six years ago. The response was we are not able to provide any type of insurance paperwork for this timepiece as we no longer have this model in production. Where should I go to get this document so I can submit to the insurance company? Thanks in advance.

Gradually phasing out white diver. True?
Went to the AP boutique today and was told that the white/silver dial diver reference 15710st.oo.a002ca.02 was being phased out. They still had it in stock but no new ones were coming in as opposed to other dial variations. It will be replaced as the white dialed 15710st.oo.a010ca.01 will take over. I guess time will tell but have you also heard of this ?
