Help on the value of this watch
It is a Waltham made in 1886 and works like new. Can anyone tell me the value of it??? Thanks

DSSD or AP Diver
Wanted to get some input from TRF. I know this is the AP section, so I might get a biased result, but here it is.I'm looking at picking up a minimal piece to put into the rotation. Something you would wear almost on a daily basis. I've been looking at the Rolex DSSD D-Blue and the AP Diver with white dial. The DSSD James Cameron just gets my attention for some reason. I've never been a big Rolex guy, but this one really sings to me. I do have an Explorer 2 that I rotate in every once in a while.On the other hand, the AP Diver with White dial ahs always been of interest to me. I'm thinking I can add a white strap during the summer and would add some versatility. My only concern is this would be a 3rd ROO to my collection. I already have a ROO 44 in FC and RG. Should I venture away from the ROO line this time around and get something different?

Is it Just a Watch? What is Your Story
I have been a member of TRF for a couple of years, finding my way here as I researched my first purchase. I have been somewhat quiet, content in many ways to just listen and learn more about a subject that has fascinated me for many years. My apologies for the lost post and if this is a repeat of any earlier threads posted here, but one of the things that drives the passion I have for collecting is the connection that people seem to have to their collection. I have alluded to my background a bit in previous posts and a bit about what my watches mean to me. For every timepiece I have, from the G-Shock that my wife bought me two decades ago, to my most recent purchase, there is a connection. I suspect for all of you in this seemingly crazy pursuit of ours, your watches have a special meaning and each have a story. Share if yours if you like. Here is mine:I am the product of a home in which I had two parents who, after half of a century remain together. Both grew up on the east coast o

Rolex Accuracy Revisited
There have been countless OP/threads pertaining to the everyday accuracy of a COSC certified Rolex and those concerns are often justified (to some extent) given that one is paying a premium price for a premium mechanically engineered timepiece.That said, perhaps it is time to draw the line on unreasonable expectations and any potential disappointments. Case in point. My 16610 is currently keeping time to within +1.5 seconds per day and that amounts to roughly +45 seconds per 30 days. On the other hand, my Seiko 6T63 chronograph is running within an amazing +1 second per month. While we are comparing apples with oranges, two additional factors need to be taken into consideration.The COSC rating for a mechanical watch is -4/+6 seconds per day and for a COSC quartz model it's +/- .07 seconds per day. Anything above or beyond those figures is an added bonus. In the case of ordinary quartz watches, most non-COSC models are rated at about +/- 10-15 seconds per month and as far as non-COSC me

I CAN'T Stand it anymore - I'm TIRED - The Dilemma 116618
I touched on this before recently in a thread. People told me that I'll get used to it. But this damn thing is so heavy. I don't know how you do it Neil!I need to give it a break. Going to wear the DJ TT linen face for a little while.Any other precious metal daily wearers deal with the same issue? Thoughts ?
