Historical Perspectives: The Surprisingly Not Totally Boring Search For Who Invented The Spring Bar
(The original impetus for this story was a question asked by commenter MrGrentch, in the comments section of our story on the Speidel Twist-O-Flex bracelet.  Little did I know where it would go.)It’s probably a good thing that nobody has ever asked me who invented the spring bar, because up until about a week ago, if they had, I’d have had to admit that I had absolutely no idea, and had never given it a moment’s thought. In fact, aside from occasionally cursing at one when it flew across the room during an ill-advised late-night impulsive strap change, I had hardly given spring bars any thought on any level at all for pretty much the entire time I’ve been interested in watches (which is longer than I feel like admitting). 1 OF 14 They seem far too flimsy to have any of us trust a $200 Seiko diver to them, let alone, say, a $50,000 vintage Rolex (or whatever) and yet, they seem to be almost boringly reliable – mos

HI does anyone know anything about this watch? How to open it? I took it to a watchmaker and he said it was not worth fixing, (nothing works) and he said the crystal would break when he took it apart. Is it worth doing anything with? Thanks

Only 150 made why are they so cheap? I think it's a beautiful watch. Also it's not the most basic complication it has chrono at least. I'm confused at why this is priced the way it is. Sub 20k. Someone enlighten me please and thanks!

Should I get the 114060 from AD or grey?
Hi experts, need your help here. So here¡¯s the thing, grey prices are almost similar to ADs or pricier. 114060 from an AD would cost 10,000 SGD here and a 2013 model from grey market would cost around 9300+ SGD. I was thinking if you add the servicing cost after, it would likely cost the same. I¡¯ve heard a lot about people saying don¡¯t be the first guy to absorb the initial cost from buying new. But does it still apply now? Which option will net me the best deal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Am I Being Irrational?
Hello Everyone!As you can see, I¡¯m new to the forums here (and to Rolex in general too) and recently decided to acquire my first Rolex timepiece, a Stainless-Steel GMT Master II (ref 116710LN). I chose a seller on here primarily due to lack of inventory at the six ADs in my area and I just grew tired of waiting.The lack of peace of mind is why I haven¡¯t been able to enjoy the watch completely. I knew going into purchasing a watch on TRF that there would not be a 100% guarantee of authenticity and that a buyer should ¡°buy the seller¡±. I chose ¡°justrolexes¡± because of his incredible reputation and feedback from other users. The watch came with everything: box, papers, hangtags, etc. and all aspects of the watch to my untrained eye look correct, but that ¡°What if?¡± feeling hasn¡¯t gone away. Due to this, I¡¯m flying out to Beverly Hills on Tuesday to take my GMT to the RSC and pay the $150 to have it authenticated once and for all. Only then will I be at ease. My question to you all is, whe
