Cacheux Elephant Automatic Watch
This is a watch that I really never thought was going to be made. It started out as a concept watch called the "Galibier" based upon a concept car from Bugatti with the same name. Fabien Cacheux designed it to have a perlage decorated "drum case," Bugatti logo, and an interesting strap system. Less than a year later, a more practical version of the piece is being made - but in very limited quantities and it will be called the "Cacheux Elephant Automatic."Although France based Cacheux tries to explain the "Elephant" name, I still don't quite get it. Something about being so gigantic and respect demandingOh well, no point in dwelling on that. The Elephant has a lot of interesting talking points. Most notably the movement, as well as the case and strap. It is really the strap design that will catch most people's eyes. The idea is simple. Cacheux will take your (the customers) wrist measurements, and cut a calf leather strap to your size. Of course there will be some wiggle room, as the s

Looking for correct end link and bracelet for Omega Seamaster
I was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of help. I just purchased a 68 Seamaster 145.018 which came with a leather band. I am trying to fit the watch with a bead of rice bracelet and was curious if anyone knew if these came with that bracelet back then. Does anyone know what the correct end piece number is and if there is anyone I could get two from. I believe it should be a 19mm.

Waltham 18s Pocket watch Help
Here's a couple of picks of an old waltham pocket watch a freind gave me, He knows I love watches, But I'm not familiar with pocket watches and can't really find out much about it. Any help would be great...Age of production and so forth. :) thanks everyone! The back case also has a locomotive on it, My real question is would it be worth restoring? At the moment I think the mainspring is toast, it just winds and winds :(

Openworked 15407 in Steel Boutique Only?
Hi,I've put a deposit with the boutique for this watch; but now wondering if I can source if outside of the boutique? Also, does the boutique ever give any discounts? I've always sourced my watches outside but thought I'd go boutique for this one for faster access.What do you think?Cheers.

Average Cost of Speedy Service ???
What is the average cost of an Omega Speedy Service from Omega? Just curious, I don't like to buy watches that cost alot to maintain. I do maintain them and I can't imagine that Omega Speedy costs too much, but just want to know. I'm thinking just a movement service. Believe it or not, I like scratches and nicks (provided they aren't massive or on the xtal). Will Omega honor a request that you not polish the case? Also, do any of you guys us locals to do your service? I sent my Panerai (6497 movement) to a Rolex autorized repairer and it was completed at a fraction of the cost Panerai would charge. Panerai starts at $500 for an 6497. That is rediculous IMHO. Thanks in advance.
