Found: A Magnificent World War II Rolex 3525 And The Story Of The RAF Officer Who Wore It
One big reason to love vintage watches is because they tell us stories – they seem to represent the soul of their former owners, who trusted and loved their timepieces and wore them through thick and thin. In this regard, this chronograph from Rolex not only embodies an amazing life of both tragedy and heroism – it's a symbol of bravery and dedication to freedom as well. 1 OF 9 The Rolex depicted here is a reference 3525 chronograph from the 1940s, with antimagnetic properties. The reference 3525 was also famous as a Prisoner Of War watch, made available to captured Allied officers during the Second World War, as we covered here. Watches were made available to Allied POWs by many brands but Rolex is one of the best known for this service, and the 3525 chronograph was a solidly made, high visibility wrist-instrument with a Valjoux 23 column wheel chronograph movement and radium dial that would have been a both a welcome little luxury and a useful tool.

1965 Omega reccomendations
Next year I will be 50 and whilst I have several great watches (Pam 111, Daytona) deep in my heart my true love is Omega although I know little about them. I would like to treat myself to a 1965 model so we can both spend a year reaching 50 together. Can anyone give me some pointers, what to look at, what to avoid etc from this year? I would like an automatic if possible and a simple classic look. Thanks guys.

Would you sell a Panerai 233 for a Dark Side of the Moon?
I know the watches are very different, but lately the Omega dark side of the moon has really caught my eye, and really conflicted as to whether I should sell my 233K dot dial to fund it. I consider the 233 to be one of Panerai's modern classics, and my only manual wind watch. But the DSotM is just so well constructed, and I really like the all ceramic construction (including pushers, crown, and dial), and both the polished and brushed effects on the watch. It also has a great in-house movement, just like the 233.Unfortunately I can't keep the 233 and get the DSotM, so if you are in my position, would you sell the 233? Appreciate everyone's input and thoughts. Here is a pic of my 233:

Did someone try to steal a Tudor?

Will we ever see a precious metal Sea-Dweller
Why not?, on the opposite side of the spectrum, many said we would never see a Sky-Dweller in anything but a precious metal, and then they come out with an all steel, and it is a big hit.I for one, would love to see a Sd43 in a precious metal, either white or yellow gold..Guess I can wait and see, only a few months away.
