Cartier Santos 18kt Yellow Gold and Steel Automatic Men's Watch W20072X7

hello?
Hello all,I've been out of town for a couple of weeks, so I've probably missed all the fuss that caused this thread, but what's up? I just read the rules of this forum and if someone could just bring me up to speed and tell me what rules have been disregarded that would cause the mods to work overtime babysitting, that would be great. PM would be fine if public airing is frowned upon..When I left, several of us had just come over from another site and things seemed to be going really wellThanks!

Is it worth my time to drive 3 hrs round trip to check this Auto Omega out?
Hi,I have been looking for a vintage Omega for a while but I always seem to get out bid. I guess i'm cheap ;) please don't hold that against me.Anyways, was put in contact with a gent 1,5 hrs from me who is selling a vintage Omega.It's been serviced within the past year is in good cosmetic condition, small scratch on the rear case Only markings 14K Gold Filled.Gent states it was his fathers purchased new in the 1950'sUnfortunately I cannot get decent photos from the seller. Attached are the ones sent to me.Is it possible to decipher the model type, movement ect from these poor photos.He's looking for $250 apx so if genuine well worth the drive.Much appreciated.

What is it about the Submariner?
Hi Guys,I'm new to the forum. I don't own one, but the Submariner has long been my holy grail of watches. I thought it might be cool to wax poetical and ask you guys to describe what draws you to this watch. Here are my thoughts.The Submariner I¡¯m always curious to get a handle on exactly what draws us to certain objects, like works of art, fine writing instruments, or even watches. I¡¯ve thought often of watches and their perfect blending of engineering genius, aesthetics, and functionality. But what is it about the Rolex Submariner that captivates so thoroughly? It is not the most beautiful watch. You cannot even see the movement. The stainless steel version is plain and unassuming. There are hundreds of copies on the market by reputable watchmakers for thousands less. I bought my Seiko for the very reason that it resembled a Submariner. And yet¡­ it¡¯s not a Submariner. I¡¯m not na?ve. I have seen one up close in person in my life. The Submariner is just a watch w

The last NAWCC bulletin about Gruen, what do you think of it?
Has anyone else got the last bulletin? There was an article about vintage Gruen ladies watches and I was amazed about this very detailed and interesting pages. A lots of good pictures, basic infos and a very nice collection of one member there. I am not sure if it is allowed to post parts of it here, do you know if this is maybe OK with board and NAWCC rules? I think our own references threads about Gruen and ladies watches in general are worth to be improved.I wish they would do the same in the next bulletins about mens watches or Hamilton, Benrus and some other brands we love so dearly. (OK, Tom and the others, that is meant as a broad hint )
