Duesenberg Circular & Rectangular Art Deco Watches
Good thing it is a German speaker (Swiss German) who revived the Duesenberg name! The brand with the same name as the classic car that almost epitomized F. Scott Fitzgerald era art deco cars has two new models that will come out in 2011. The watches are the Duesenberg Rectangular and Duesenberg Circular. Can you guess which is one is each!? The design really does feel as though it hails from the roaring 1920's. Why is it that the past always seem to be have been better than it actually was? I am really fascinated by the "grass is greener in that other era syndrome." Anyhow, let's focus on these upcoming watches from Frenkendorf, Switzerland (they also have a Austrian location).Silly little things like prices aren't known yet, but we do know that the cases will have materials such as 18k red gold, DLC black coated steel, polished steel, and titanium. See those "grill" like sections on the top and bottoms of the case? Those sections are partially removable if you want to change-it-up in

Another New Guy
Hi,I am brand new to this forum and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. For as long as I can remember, watches have always caught my eye. However, it was only very recently that I began attempting to learn about them. Of course, as they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I am afraid I have now caught the "fever" bad I know everyone likes pictures, so here are a couple of the watches I currently own. I am new to taking watch photos, so I will apologize in advance My first watch purchase after graduation: A Maurice Lacroix Les Classiques chronograph (quartz)My 30th B-day gift from my wife: Tag Heuer Aquaracer (quartz)My Christmas present this year: Hamilton Aquariva (automatic)

Incoming 5124J - dedicated to TRF
Hi all,I am very fortunate to be able to add my second (own a 5167) and a classic Patek to my humble collection. I went for the Gondolo 5124J and could not be more pleased with it. Firstly a big thank you to Patrick (OCROLEXGUY) who made this happen with a flawless deal. Secondly this incoming is dedicated to this great forum. It is fitting I got the watch from a trusted seller. Without your knowledge and help my collection would not be possible. This watch represents what TRF is all about, a love for fine timepieces. This watch is sublime in every way. The curved case, curved sapphire, curved fitted well finished movement. It just hugs the wrist and the dial is very Art Deco. Lastly please no congratulations, I would like to congratulate all of you for your unparalleled passion. Some quick pics enclosed. CheersAnujSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New member seeking advice on first purchase
New member here and although I'm not a Rolex owner yet I'm looking to make my first purchase but of course it happens to be one of most popular watches Rolex makes. The GMT BLNR.I wish to make my first purchase from an AD and recently visited my local dealer here in the San Francisco Bay Area and although treated very well, he advised that he has a waiting list of 7 people for this watch which of course didn't surprise me. Because they only receive a few of these a year it looks like it'll be difficult to come by. Although I know it'll take time to find one, are there any suggestions as to the best way to ultimately get one with an AD? I thought about asking my AD to add me to his waiting list in the hope's that a few on the list my have found a watch elsewhere. Is it suggested that I visit several AD's here in the Bay Area and get on several different lists or is that frowned upon? As a side note, I have a previously scheduled vacation next month to Europe which includes Paris, Zurich
