IWC Pilots Classic Big Pilots IW500401 Manual Winding White Dial Watch

Two Men Bought The Very Same Kind Of Watch On The Same Day In The Same Town, One Paid $950,000 More Than The Other ¨C Who Got The Better Deal?
Here is a question I receive at a frequency of more than three times per week, in person: "How much should I pay for a 5513 Sub?"To answer that question with less than six caveats does the inquirer, and the world of vintage watches, a disservice. For a late 5513 with white gold surrounds, the answer would be one thing. For an early matte dial, another. For a gilt, yet another. For an underline, another. For a military-issued 5513, still another. For an Explorer-dialed piece, yet another. Oh, and any of the above could range from x to x times three for an NOS example with box and papers. You see, the thing with vintage watches is, there is no "market price" for an entire category of watches – and that is the first thing I want new vintage watch lovers to understand. And that is why I am here to tell you about something that happened on November 8th, 2015 in Geneva – to show you just how wild this market is, so that you don't try to make general assump

How do you store your watches?
Hey GuysSurvey time. Some of you may be avid users of winders. I'm not of that fraternity I'm afraid and have always kept my watches in their boxes. As I usually only ever wear one watch at a time I suppose a winder might have served me well in my " auto only " days but I always preferred to put my money towards a watch than a box that wound watches.My trusty watch box for night use for over a year now has been the familiar red Omega travel case. It's not robust by any means. It's definitely not indestructible but the foam inserts ascertain that my watch is kept scratch-free and safely tucked away in the night. And of course, its' size and dimensions allow easy storage and positioning. By the latter, I mean it permits me to store my Speedy Pro crown up or down, dial up or down indeed too.How about you pals? What do you use?Talk soon pals and y'all be well nowZIN

Omega Planet Ocean question (yeah, you Rolex guys read that right!)
Thought I'd ask if some of you guys wouldn't mind weighing in on a question I've asked on the Omega side, in case that's not part of your regular route. I'm seriously considering a Planet Ocean as a daily wear wristwatch in rotation w/ my Rolex 16610 Submariner Date.Further specifics are on this WTF Thread:LINK

Help with watch identification and worth???
The watch itself is model number l4.274.4 but has been customized with beautiful pink diamond chips. I have not seen any like it and have been told it is customized and that is why but was wondering if anyone can tell me a little more about it. I put it on the sales forum because I would like to sell it in order to raise money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring but have no idea how much someone would pay for the item so any help at all is greatly appreciated, after all, it is in the name of live!Case: Round stainless steel with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.Diameter: 26 mm.
