Only Watch 2011 Charity Watch Auction
Each two years we get to enjoy the unique pieces watch brands donate to the Only Watch auction event. Held in Monaco at the Monaco Yacht show in September Only Watch proceeds go to benefit medical research dedicated to fighting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The auction part is facilitated by Antiquorum.UPDATE: Click here to see my growing list of all the Only Watch 2011 auction pieces.Starting in the spring, participating brands will slowly start to announce the special watches they are offering to the auction. These are often really exciting to see. The Only Watch rules dictate that all watches donated for auction must be unique. This either means the first piece in a limited edition, or a totally unique watch made specially for the event by a brand. None of the watches have been officially debuted yet, but I do have a list of the participating brands. Only Watch 2011 will be held September 22 2011 at 6pm or 4pm GMT time (actual starting time isn't clear yet) in Monaco. Before that the

My Omega Archive extract arrived yesterday and I took some time today to frame it.Omega customer service is really top notch I have to say. Hit a little speed bump and Omega USA sorted it no problem. Really fine folks over there, and I couldn't be happier. Ariel Morel from OmegaUSCS took good care of me. I've just purchased an Omega Aqua Terra so it seems maybe there is a trend developing here.I think the extract adds a little color to the history of this old 30.

TRF members...Lets see your Connie Pie Pans
I have a few and will post one every few days. It would be interesting to hear as much info you have on the watch; Ref #, movement cal, Dial variations and any provenance you may have on the watch.This first watch was one of my last acquired, a classic pie pan bought to be a daily wear watch; ref # 2852-3 SC cal 505 (see below) in 14k capped SS case. Original cross hair dial that meets the MOY test (see below) with arabic numerals at 12/3/6/9 and a nice gentle patina. The watch has moderate wear on the 14k observatory medallion on the case back Serial # 16,113,xxx which dates the watch to circa 1958. This watch is currently running +8 sec per day. This watch has some tarnishing / deterioration of the gold capping on the inner edges of the lugs as well as wear on the case from usage. As such, I was able to buy it at a very reasonable price for use as an all original, daily wear connie pie pan in my collection. The watch is wearing an Omega chocolate brown croc strap. The watch was acqui

Grail achieved!
Hey guys. Finally got the watch I¡¯ve wanted since I knew of the existence of the submariner. I always thought I¡¯d never ever be able to get this watch. As the years went on I became devastated by the price increase year after year. I was offered a solid deal from a friend who bought this watch to get a friend out of a bind, but didn¡¯t necessarily want it. I did whatever I could to have the funds together ASAP and picked it up yesterday! 1975 Serif dial 5513. Keeping beautiful time, all it needs is a crown tube / crown and a new PIP.I¡¯m over the moon!
