The Value Proposition: The Speedmaster And The Speidel Twist-O-Flex Bracelet, A Match Made In Heaven
Here’s the thing about mechanical watches Back In The Day: they came along with a lot of other stuff. There was a whole world of products, advertisements, ancillary services, and points of sale that, like while-you-wait kiosks for printing film, have gone the way of the dodo bird.  The brands and products that survive are largely in the service of supporting, more or less, and more or less expensively, what you might call the Walter Mitty approach to watches: absent any real practical need for a mechanical watch, they’re there to fulfill various fantasies of what we’d like to be, and how we’d like to see ourselves.   1 OF 5 Now that’s not to say that pre-Quartz it was a golden age; there were just as many canny, avaricious, amoral retailers and quote unquote brands before 1969 as before, but there were also a whole host of companies making a whole bunch of products that were intended to provide, at a good value, a solid answer to a

Legit Check on an Omega Seamaster GMT 50th Anniv.
Just got an Omega Seamaster GMT 50th Anniversary Ed. My questions are, being new to the board and the whole watch world in general; is it legit? I posted some closeups below that I think will help to determine the legitimacy of the object (thanks to DarkHorse for advising me what parts of the watch to shoot). If it turns out to be fake, it is by no means a fault of the seller, we both worked together to research as best as we could before the transaction was made, he has given me the option to verify and let him know. Now for the photos:I fully appreciate any assistance with this. I am crossing my fingers and toes that it is the real deal. Take care and Happy Holidays.Ryan

Anyone know anything about Tiffany branded Hamiltons?
I recently came across a Tiffany branded watch in a shop. The shop owner initially said he thought it was a swiss movement but it looked classic Hamilton to me. He opened it and sure enough it had a 982. I don't have a picture of it but if you look up a Rutledge it looked a lot like that. It's in very simple rectangular shaped 14K case - like a Rutledge. It had what looked to be it's original strap and box. The back was unengraved - nothing of any sort - not even Wadsworth. I didn't look inside the back though.I was a little surprised that it wasn't a Medallion movement and since I don't recall ever seeing anything Tiffany-related in the catalogs I thought I'd ask my WTF colleagues what they thought.Any idea what cases Tiffany watches used? Are there things to look for to make sure it's authentic and not just a Tiffany label on the dial? Would they use a 982 movement or only a 982M? Are they more / less collectable than it's Hamilton-branded peer? What do you think would be a
