Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL

GMT Master, Model Year 1991
I'm considering to buy this watch from a coworker. He's the original owner and the watch appears to be in excellent shape. He has the original box, tags, and original sales receipt showing a sale price of $1,795. The only thing I'd do right to the watch is a detailed clean and polish the bracelet since the crystal, case and bezel show little to almost no markings. A few questions to the experts around here:1. What would RCS charge for a complete service?2. What's a reasonable market value of this watch?3. Is it reasonable to offer market value minus the cost of the service?Thanks!

In your travels.
Do you ever see ladies wearing mens' watches?I'm specifically referring to Omegas of course ;)I've come across a couple of 2252.50s on the wrists of ladies and one 2253.80, both of which are mid-size counterparts of their 42mm offerings. I think it's refreshing to see a lady strike out and be her own person. Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with ladies' watches or anything like that. Just that it's pleasing to see individualism.How 'bout you pals? Have you seen and/or what do you think?Y'all be well now ZIN

What Do I Do With Such A Nice Box?
So I bought the watch and now have this amazing box. It's so nice, I can't even remember what my Rolex box looks like. I mean the luxurious look, the feel, the size, the smellI can imagine other manufacturers staking out the ultra high end would offer something similar, but this thing is impressive. Even the box for the box is nice. I have to wonder how much this thing adds to the retail price of every Omega, but I almost don't care, 'cause I like it.I was amused to see the very utilitarian plastic bubble packaging my watch actually arrives in, and that the boxes are shipped to the AD separately. As a result, I suspect many of these boxes never even see a watch. A kind of behind the scenes glimpse into the magicians bag of tricks.Problem is I have a winder, and I feel like it would be a waste to just shove such a nice box in a closet. There's got to be some way I can put it to use. And don't suggest Ebay, 'cause I ain't parting with it. Any suggestions?Oh yeah, and then there's this n

AVI-8 owners? Post here if so...
I recently had some gift cards at Amazon, and ended up purchasing the AVI-8 Flyboy. I got the Miyota 8215 automatic version, and with an attractive tan colored dial. The lug size is 22mm, and I immediately changed out the NATO strap for a custom leather 2 pc strap from bststrap I'd won via a very generous giveaway contest. I'm very happy with the watch so far, and like the easily readable dial, the lume, overall size and appearance. Here's a couple of pics. If anyone else has an AVI-8 watch, feel free to post them here. Eric

Let's see your blue dials
Due to the prevalence of Ulackfocus's sweet blue dial Muhle Glashutte on the daily wrist check threads, I've been inspired to add a blue dial watch into my collection. In a feeble attempt to see more of blue dials I ask all of you to show them off. Lets see them!!
