Found: A Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph Signed By Tiffany & Co. In Completely Original
Every watch guy's dream is to go up into his grandparents' attic, open up a dust covered shoe box, and discover an unmolested horological masterpiece. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. And that is exactly what happened here with what could easily be described as a mega watch - a Patek Philippe Reference 1436 Split-Seconds Chronograph Retailed By Tiffany & Co. in NYC dating to 1960. And, what makes this particular piece so special is that it is literally untouched and unmodified in any way. It comes with the original crystal, strap, and buckle, and the thing hadn't even been serviced!Made in 1960 and sold by Tiffany's NYC in 1961, it doesn't get much cooler than a vintage Patek split-seconds chronograph. There is something so masculine about the split complication, and to see it on such a refined piece like a 1960s Patek is just a wonderful juxtaposition. The estimate on this piece is $200,000-$300,000, which to us, considering the condition, se

Aqua Terra just shipped off for minor service. Wish me luck!
I dread sending watches for service. It usually goes fine, but the risk of sending it off on a journey to be disassembled and all that...Anyhow, the crown in my three-year-old Aqua Terra has been extraordinarily stiff since the day it was new, and I think it has become even stiffer in the last few months. The crown does everything it's supposed to do, but every aspect of operating it is really stiff (unscrewing/screwing down, winding, pulling out to other positions, turning it to set the time, etc., everything feels really stiff).Until recently I figured I would just live with it until the watch is ready for its first full maintenance service, but lately I realize it's impacting my enjoyment of the watch, and now I'm also concerned that the seals around the stem could be faulty, and it really ought to be addressed.The watch remains under Omega's International Warranty, so I packed it up with a photocopy of my warranty card (per Omega's instruction) and a note describing the symptoms

WG Pepsi owners- buy/sell/add another Pepsi? Thoughts on Basel 18?
I've seen a lot of posts around here thinking about what current owners will do. So I'd thought it would be interesting to hear what current owners of the black dial WG Pepsi will do with the BLRO and their thoughts the new Pepsi models. Is anybody thinking of adding one of the new Pepsi models? Any regrets?I'm keeping my BLRO.Here are my thoughts:SS Pepsi- love it, but jubilee bracelet with clasp looks odd to me.WG Pepsi with blue dial- nope, wanted the classic with the black dialTudor Pepsi- 41mm is too big, don't like the font on the bezelI also think that the bezel colors, that were largely panned on this forum will now be loved given that a) it's $20K cheaper and b) the supply will be likely controlled and Rolex has another elusive, hard to find, Daytona-like hit on their hands. I think the WG black dial model value with tank.Movement-wise- don't really care about that- it's not like the old movement was garbage and needed an improvement.In terms of an investment, do I regret b

Ok I get it now....
So today I got to put this baby on and now I get it. The weight, size, and thickness are right on. Passed on this baby (next guy is happy) as I'm still waiting on the blue......Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
