10 Things You Should Know About Wrist Watch Auctions
Watch auctions and dedicated timepiece auction houses are more popular now than ever before, and we'd like to try to explain what you need to know before becoming a potential auction bidder. Without a doubt, it is an exciting time to be a watch lover, because the world is talking about timepieces more than ever. On the one hand, you have the gradual emergence of the smartwatch industry that, despite concerns from some low-end brands, will likely have the outcome of making people notice wrist watches more than the general public has in the last 20 years. On the other hand, you have a new form of financial investment mentality surrounding the exciting world of high-end luxury watch auctions and the rising ceiling of potential values, as well as the apparent expanding pool of potential watch buyers. The result isn't just an increasing frequency of watch-themed auctions, but also entire new businesses dedicated to bringing more watches to auction for more people.I would go so far as to say

Am I Paranoid??????
My dad was very practical, never cared about expensive "things." I inherited two watches from him. A SS mid 1950's Benrus Wristalarm, and a mid 1940's 14k gold Hamilton tank style watch (unknown model). He bought the Benrus himself, but received the Hamilton from his parents as either a HS, or college graduation present. Both watches run great but haven't been serviced in about 25 years. I've been using a watch repair man in PA recently. I decided to ship the watches to him for servicing, but decided to ship them seperately in case of loss/theft. I shipped the Benrus USPS Priority Mail (along with a Breitling) yesterday and insured them for $1,000.00. Am I insane or just cautious??? I'd hate to lose both at the same time.

Is it rebairable???? (((Pics))))
Hello my friends been while since i last post here, recently i bought an AP ROO navy blue I serial from 2014 and although the watch was used but its in good shape. Couple days ago ive noticed 2 things that botheres me and would lile to know if its rebairable 1) in the pics i focused with the louple in the area above the chrono pusher under the rubber ring there is a dent and although its too small but gives me hard times and my question is is it rebairable by laser welding at AP service center AND would it ever leave mark OR be an weak spot in the case??2) also above number 2 inside the glass i saw a piece of dust + on the rotor also spotted 13) finally the chrono ring between 90 and 100 i saw some kind of orange colour but iam not sure what it is exactly!!The dealer i bought the watch from confirm that the watch never been opened and frankly speaking i did not see any sign of opening the caseback or bezel not even the holes in the sides, does it count as a manufacture flaws or is ther

Discontinued(?) black dial WG BLRO
So assuming the previous black dial WG BLRO is now discontinued, since the Baselworld 2018 release is now with a blue dial (let's ignore the conflicting confusion between the red or silver timezone hand for the moment), should I still purchase the black dial WG BLRO if I see it in the ADs?Just spotted it sitting in a case in an AD in Hong Kong..
