The American Heritage of Vacheron Constantin
The American Heritage of Vacheron Constantin is an interactive online event marking the intersection of the American narrative and the company¡¯s unbroken 256-year history with the rich stories of the brand’s American collectors. The project is a precursor to the official grand opening of Vacheron Constantin¡¯s first-ever U.S. boutique, located at 729 Madison Avenue in New York City.

Incoming vintage Benrus
So I've been looking for 1940s-1960s watches with 3/4" lug spacing, no divers, and they've been tough to find.Took a flyer on a rough Benrus in rose gold-fill because I wanted the little calendar off the band that was on it. Got the watch yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised that it takes a 3/4" strap!I was not pleasantly surprised by the condition, tho...pretty bad off, very well-used, and just filthy! Here are pics from the listing:No, it wasn't pretty.This was one of those watches that was worn and never, ever wiped clean...not pleasant.First the bracelet came off and was into the bath.Next the horsehair brush knocked off most of the loose dirt before opening the case.Popped the caseback off, and the dial was even worse under the very scuffed crystal: very brown and speckled.Removed the movement, and cleaned the case and caseback, set aside to dry in the warm California sun (Ramones, yeah!).Now, I don't suggest this on a watch that is higher-end, but this one was so far gone, and

best place to purchase 5711?
hey guys, newbie here. been lurking for a bit and finally made up my mind to get the 5711 blue dial nautilus. my only question now is whether there is a reliable/trustworthy online retailer i can purchase from? i am sort of in the middle of nowhere in upstate new york, and the closest AD is probably in new york city... i'd prefer to purchase online though because 1, i'm sort of lazy to get into the city and 2, i don't particularly care for having a NEED to have a manufacturers warranty as long as the gray market provider gives some sort of warranty and i get the original box and papers. (i plan to keep this watch for at least 10 years if not longer). i also hope to probably avoid some tax if i get it online which, 8% of $27k is a not a small sum to save.thanks a lot and appreciate any advice you guys can offer.edit: and what would be a fair price to pay?
