In house or not?
Is a watch having in house movement a plus, a must or you don't care?Some of the most seemed and valuable watches don't have in house movements, most highly collectable Pams don't and just have ETA, the AP Jumbo has a JLC base movement, the Patek 5970 and 5070 have Lemania base movements, it doesn't mean that in house the movement will be better, some great watches have non in house movements.So for me if a watch's movement is not in house it's absolutely not a deal breaker, but I do prefer one which does have it as for me an in-house movement means that the manufacture has reached a certain level in the horological art and is capable of making their own watches from A to Z without any outside help.I know that usually when people start to be interested in watches if they go for pieces 5K and up it's obligatory to have the in house movement, but more experienced watch lovers understand that it's just a part of the process and that even if the brands get movements from other companies th

3570.50 or 3574.51
So I am about to purchase my first speedy pro and I have the opportunity to buy a new 3574.51 or a slightly used 3570.50. Which one would you guys get?I know that they are essentially the same minus the caseback, but I still can't decide. I kind of like the original plus that one is at a jeweler that will take a decent trade price on my 2538.20 great white. If I go with the 3574.50 then I need to wait and sell my great white for a decent price. Also is there a way to check when the watch was made with the serial number?thanks for any advice

Poll: which strap for my new Speedy
New Speedmaster 3750.50 owner. Can't decide which brown strap to go with. From the pictures I see online I really like the contrast of the brown strap and black dial. I would greatly appreciate some opinions. Thanks.watchobsession.co.uk/KNIG...keyword=knightOR.watchobsession.co.uk/KNIG...keyword=knight
