Cartier Pasha C

Dads watch
Wow what a great site! I have my father Hamilton watch and I would like to get some info on it.I know he bought the band later and it is soild gold and very heavy. The crystal has been replaced.He died in 1994 so I don't know when he would have bought it but I am guess in the fifties. My brief research points me to a Boone style but it was not made after the 30's so this watch may have been my grandfathers.Sorry the photo's are not betterBall park, how much would it cost to have the watch cleanedAlso ball park how much is just the watch worth, not the band. No I am never going to sell it.

help with ref. 2506-1 identification/anomely
Hello,I am a brand new virgin to this forum, and I could use some assistance.I just purchased from an auction a PP 2506-1 10-200 movement. The serial No. on the movement is 745xxx and the case back sn. is 690xxx which would place it at around 1949-50?What is unusual, or at least from what I have been able to determine, is that the movement lacks a lot of inscriptions such as no. of jewels, , adjustment info, etc. I will try to post a pic of it here if I can figure it out.Everything looks identical to all other photos that I have seen of the movements except that this only has "Patek Philippe Geneva and the serial No. and the movement ref. No. of 10-200.Is this a prototype or early movement?

I've been on the fence with the 15400 for a little while now since I can't seem to find a 15300 that I like. I have a 6.5 wrist so I sometimes feel like it may be too big. Can anyone with a similar sized wrist post some pics? Thanks!

New Basel release Navitimer 1461 Limited Edition
I took these shots for a friend who picked up this watch but he's already decided to sell it. It's a great watch and wears very comfortable. It looks great on the croc strap, but I think it would look even better on the bracelet. Thoughts?

Another "My AD said..."
I know a groan is expected whenever someone brings up what their AD told them but I had a refreshing conversation last night that bears repeating.I have known my friend at the Houston Boutique since I bought my first watch from him in 1997 at the newly opened local Tourneau. Since then he's worked at three other local Rolex jewellers and has been at the Boutique since it opened.I called him two weeks ago and was surprised to find they had a BLNR in stock and bought it straight from its shipping coffin that night. Yesterday I went back just to chat and of course the subject of SS sport model shortages came up. His take was much less conspiratorial that what is usually said here. He simply said that Rolex projects their production needs several years out, a textbook business practice. The last few years have NOT been great for watch sales at least in the US, and they simply weren't ready for the increased demand this year. It will be remedied for next year he feels certain. He said their
