What are your thoughts regarding the "RolexRolexRolex" engraving?
I'll be the first to admit that when I first saw photos of Rolex watches with the rehaut engraved "RolexRolexRolex" I didn't like it. But then it sort of started growing in me. I got my first watch with the engraving about two years ago - my Z series Daytona:My most recent Rolex with the engraving is this Z series 16613:Now, I absolutely love the engraving....and my non-engraved watches don't look right anymore! I'm actually thinking of trying to sell my non-engraved watches and purchase the same models with the engraving. I could only do this with my YM and my 16610 Sub. Crazy? Maybe....but consider:In the case of my 16610 and 16613 Submariners, both are in the process of being discontinued. And the number of models without the engraving FAR outnumber the supply that does have it. Could engraved subs be collectible in 20 years? Crazier things have happened...Thoughts?

A Bit of a Mystery
I apologize (again) for the bad pictures. I really, really need to get a decent camera. My 70+ year old mother-in-law has had this pocket watch in a cedar chest for probably 50 years and it was her grandfather's. It's cased in a brass Star Watch Company case (serial# 155353) and is marked as such the face. The movement appears to be 7 jewel by Trenton Watch Co (metal bearing capped, not ruby with serial# 489089).kdk_1085.jpgkdk_1079.jpgkdk_1083-1.jpgI've been able to uncover a little of the history of Trenton Watch Co. and the Star Watch Co., but where the mystery comes in, Trenton was supposed to have stopped production at serial#410000 when they were taken over by Ingersoll in 1908 from everything I've read. This leads me to wonder if they continued producing watches under the Trenton Watch Co. brand for a time after Ingersoll acquired them. This watch would need some work to get running again and my guess is, aside from sentimental value, it probably wouldn't be worth spending th

Please help identify this Chinese Presentation Watch
I was hoping someone on this forum could supply some information on this watch, other than what is obvious. I know it is a presentation watch from the office of Admiral Soong Chang-Chih of the Republic of China. He was, among many things, Commander-in-Chief, Navy 1970-1976, Chief of the Gen. Staff, 76-81, Minister of National Defense, 81-86, Strategy Advisor to the President, 86-87, and Amb. to Panama, 87-91.I believe it is an early 70's Chinese quartz movement. The "diamonds" on the face are costume. There is no manufacturer name anywhere on this watch. It is from the personal effects of a family member but I know nothing of its history or value. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Just what do you do with your chronographs?
I got two and I rarely time anything. Don't get to the track much where a real use might be found. Often forget I've turned it on and only discover it long after what I was timing is over. I seem to have bought them due to their asthetics. DSCN3677.jpg DSCN3726.jpg

Nautilus Owner Questions
For those who own their favorite Nautilus, or have their sights set on one:Do you plan to have/get only one Nautilus variant? Or is it the first of more Nautilus models to come? Or do you have the one that sings to you but can't justify adding another variation of the same line because of all the other non-Nautilus choices out there?I love the one I just got (3710), but the one I thought was the one, the 5711 blue, is still enticing, and my ultimate is the 5980. But I also really like the two other current ones (5712 and 5726). Hardly a dilemma for me since it will be at least many months before I can afford to add another (if I do). I just wanted to see how others felt. Thanks!
