Girard Perregaux Laureato 80190

Added to my Omega Collection
I found this 2263.80 in a pawn shop yesterday while out riding my motorcycle. Upon examination the bezel would not move, there were no extra links or box or papers. I negotiated the price down to what I consider very reasonable and purchased the watch. It fit me perfectly as is and upon arriving home I scrubbed it with a soft toothbrush and jewelry cleaner and the bezel freed up. I just put my TAG Professional Series 1500 on the Bay to help fund this purchase.

I am sometimes asked, how do you find a nice pie pan Constellation for a reasonable price? We all know that if you go to a upper end vintage shop, such Somlo or Austin Kaye, they will be happy to show you a fine specimen of your choosing. However, they will (rightfully I might add, as they are not a charity) charge you a pretty penny for the service.Another way is to scour the for sale ads on the watch forums, internet and eBay in hopes of getting lucky. This of course can be very frustrating and take a lot of time. Many folks give up in frustration.

While searching for a nice watch at an affordable price, look for the Cinderellas in the crowd. That is, look for a watch that looks like a worthless dirty o

Democracy in action, the voters have spoken, and Hillary has nothing to do with it!
By a vote of WTF members in December, 2007, an overwhelming majority approved the formation of a new forum, focusing on Hamilton watches. So on January 1, 2008 on behalf of my colleague and co-moderator, foghorn, we welcome you to our new home.This original American brand, born in Lancaster, PA in 1892 has a rich history and tradition. Among the highlights are the Broadway Limited, a pocket watch that made the railways safe, serving the US Army with the company's first wristwatch, and the design of the first electric and digital watches. With roots in fine Swiss watchmaking tradition, this American company became part of the Swatch Group in the 1990's yet it has not forgotten its American upbringing, values, and style.We hope you visit often, posting comments, pictures, questions and anything related to Hamilton watches.

happy day
It is so grey, but didn't affect my mood.Thanks god!dakar FIYTA.jpgfruit.jpg

Panerai customized straps
I fought couple of websites that are more into creating Panerai straps. But I notice most of them are more specialized into making the Panerai strap for Luminor or Radior 44mm and rarely the 40mm.Not sure but I seen according to this source:How Big Is A Panerai Strap?That the 44mm has a 24x22 and the 40mm has a 22x20.Could someone makes things more clearlier for me?
