White gold Constellation watch with bracelet
I know of a friend who collects only vintage Omega Constellations. So far, he has three in pink and the rest yellow. He intends to get one in white gold and it so happens, there is a white gold Constellation bracelet but with no watch, listed on the Bay.Do you think he should first get the bracelet and later wait for the white gold watch to come or wait, for a complete set and that is the watch plus its bracelet, at the same time?

White face 116500 vs black face 116500
So I've noticed online that the white face 116500 is being sold at a higher premium than the black face one.... and the difference is a considerable amount...at some places the white face is being sold $2500 USD more than the black face (at swissluxury for example)..... how come? Is this due to more demand of the white face?....also the difference is just a dial swap away, which probably Rolex will do themselves for you if you are ready to purchase the extra dial (if not now, maybe later).... than y such a big premium for a different colour dial?Also how long do you guys think this premium will remain? And scarcity? Meaning it will be easily available at Rolex stores?

I see a lot of watch cases with these typical round chamfers. Needless to say this mostly concerns watches from the 80's, 90's and early 00's.Now most likely, these have had more than 1 service and material had been removed multiple times. But what I also noticed is that a lot of 90's and 00's Subs received somewhat odd looking brushed chamfers. To illustrate, here is an example of a 2010 Random Serial 16610. This watch is still very young and yet, to my eyes, ruined at first service.(This is not my watch)Let's look closer.The edges are rounded. It's not severe, but knowing this watch is only from 2010 and had only 1 service..... I start to worry. What's more. The brushed chamfers are reflecting the light in an odd looking way compared to how it's supposed to be originally. click. The distinct crosse
