1951 Glibert
Hey, it came today. I know this isn't the most desirable model, and honestly I wouldn't have been terribly interested ordinarily, but it came with all these goodies, so I couldn't pass it up. I can't believe how supple and luxuriant the original alligator-embossed leather strap is, and it has the original 14K buckle. The story was that the original owner put the watch immediately onto a metal bracelet, and saved the strap with the box and price tag. Decades later the next owner had the watch serviced and put it back on the strap. Obviously he practically never wore it at that point, as the band shows no visible wear. I don't have many of these late '40s-early '50s Hamilton rectangular watches (or any, other than a Raymon)...of those in my collection it is closest in style to the Brock, though mine is coral gold and has an enamel printed dial. Anyway, here it is.I surmise it's from 1951 since the price went up to $125 that year (the last time the model was cataloged).

First Breitling....
New in 1990, updated from 17 jewel caliber B13 to the latest 25 jewel version in 1998. Two tone Old Navitimer...Cheers,Ron

Post Flip Happiness
In this post I talked about my graduation to the next phase of WIS sickness - the flip. Well, the process is done and I have sold my Tao Skeleton and traded an incoming before receiving it (this is going to get me in trouble - a Neo Monster, Seiko 5). But I am now the proud owner of an Epos Passion Big Date. It is quite the watch! It runs the Unitas 6497 modified for a big date complication. I like the SS case with matte dial and gold markers/hands. It is a good looking watch. We'll have to see how accurate it is - only been on my wrist for an hour or so. I came up short on Epos history (other than their web site). Anyone out there know some more?B

Royal oak pricing?
Hello all,I'm sure we are all aware about PP Nautilus prices increasing significantly (both primary and secondary markets). This seems to have gotten more people interested in the Royal Oaks and Royal Oak Chronos. While the 15202 was always popular, the 41mm models are becoming more popular and harder to get than before as well. Do you guys think we are also going to see an increase in the MSRP for RO/ROC? With the 5 year roadmap to close all ADs + in-house movement for ROC at some point, do we see it pushing north of $30k to acquire in a couple years?Let the speculation commence!
