Perrelet Turbine Skeleton Watch
For 2015, the Perrelet Turbine Skeleton marks a return to some of the original reasons why the Turbine collection was so cool for a while. What you essentially have is a smaller version of the Turbine XL case (more on that below) with the entire rear part of the watch face missing. That means the dial "turbine" rotor spins around with a view of the naked mechanical movement inside of the watch behind it. The Perrelet Turbine Skeleton watch is like a peep show for movement lovers.It was back in around 2009 that Perrelet first introduced the Turbine watch collection. The concept was dead simple, but also fun. The Perrelet Turbine watch dial was inspired by jet engines, and the turbine actually spins around as it is basically a second rotor on the dial - mechanically similar to the rotor in the automatic movement. The notion for this concept actually came from the fact the for a while, Perrelet's trademark design was to have a rotor on both the rear of the movement and the dial. The origi

A real head-scratcher....
I am amazed! This is not to be interpreted as a neagative about the seller or his methods. Frankly, while I do not know him, I think he is one of the finest and most knowledgeable sellers on ebay, and he always seems to get top-dollar for his fine watches because his listing are themselves a work of art! (Perhaps this is why I have not bought from him, I am too cheapLOL.) That said, please have a look at this listing on The Bay: 130361946500. Unless I am missing something, this is a VERY nice, but generic, 3/0 Cushion made by Star Case Company, with a nicely detailed "Thunderbird-motif" bezel. I've seen this exact case many times with Gruen, and I think Waltham movements and dials inside. (I once owned a very nice twin to this case with a Gruen inside I sold it off because it did not fit with my growing collection. Likely a mistake, I guess. LOL) I've also seen Hamilton "Thunderbird" variations, but I think they are 6/0 size. Anyway, I would guess this to be a $300 watch, pe

This ROO look legit?
I did try on the ROO model below this week and really liked the look. Does the one below for sale look legit?This would be my first foray into AP...Like the ROO and RO (15202/15300/15400) models (6.5in wrist)...just looking to buy right. I see ROOs take a hit and take longer to sell (i tend to flip).Also has anyone gotten close to trusted seller discounts on a 15400 at an AD/boutique? Im assuming no discounts on a 15202.TIA!https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=531842Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Easter Magic: Incoming!
After uttering the words ¡°nautilus aren¡¯t for me¡± many times, I suddenly developed an insatiable itch for wanting to own THE nautilus. Once a watch nut gets an idea in their head, as many of you know, there is only one way to scratch that itch: INCOMINGIMG_0168.jpgWhile for years I preferred the 15202 over the 5711 as I found the 15202 to be the ¡°original¡± Genta and loved the lack of a seconds hand, legendary caliber and the bracelet on it, my initial impressions of the 5711 1/A are very good. The watch is incredibly comfortable and the dial is really magical how it changes in the light: probably the only correct answer is to own both! FullSizeRender (2).jpgLook at those ears!FullSizeRender.jpgUntil KarlS ships me his 5711P, we will make due with these two blue dials.IMG_0176.jpgThanks to various TRF members and friends with whom I¡¯ve chatted offline (cc: goog53, JorgeCCW, racerdj and subtona)! Have a great weekend and Easter holiday.IMG_0177.jpg
