Members an off the wall question about your watch collection..read on
Are you a predominately a vintage or modern watch collector. I realize most collectors have both in one's watch stable. But I noticed that we tend to have more then the other when we tally it up at the end of the day.If you can please add the brands you collect..It is interesting how we gravitate to a particular brand.One note..I have noticed a big increase in vintage watch posting on WTF lately. My collection stands at 80% vintage and 20% modern. All Rolex and Patek exclusively. I gravitated to these brands because of the plethora of available parts and the factory support on the service end. Arthur

Tried on the Dark Side of the moon!!
Sorry, no pics...but it is on display at the Boutique in NYC - My impressions....From initial view behind the glass...it's fairly unassuming - almost plastic looking...After putting it on and watching the light catch it...it's quite amazing...Shiny as hell, and the brushed/polished combination is really striking.The Cordura was more comfortable than you'd think, and actually looked pretty good...the Dial was stunning...pure liquid metal type sheen (in fact it is ZrO2)But, it was very light - a minus for me, a plus for others...Overall,,,it is a killer piece...The price hadn't bothered me, but when you look around the boutique a little more...the Speedmaster professional moonwatchWith Aventurine dial blows it away!! (for 500$ less) - and a more beautiful lemania movement on display, and moonphase...Also, the redgold deville chrono blue dial was just so amazing, that no other watch came close...I admire the Darkside, and think it is a great timepiece...but I have to bow out from the wait

Adding a little yellow to the rotation...
Well... I have been hanging out with VC way too much. I have been in search for a 5970J for about 3 months now. My search concluded today. I only found 3-4 5970J’s readily available and for sale in the world on this search. In contrast, I came across ~15 5970P's. If anyone wants a P let me know. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to add the P to my collection one day as well. I saw some good deals on pre-owned P. Many G’s and R’s were offered. I am not kidding. But for now the J is the latest addition!I want to thank SteelerFan and VC for their help. It is really nice to add the old (5970) to the new (5270). And some J to my G... I am going to have to agree with hutchman, the 5270 is a more advanced and exact watch from case to movement. The 5270 represents the present and the future. The 5970 represents the last of the past. And the J is fitting to me because it is the most “classic” of the 5970 references.About the 5970J… It debuted at Basel 2008

Valuations/Sales and "What's It Worth" Threads
TRF gets a lot of What's it Worth threads, My Grandfather just died...; My dad wants to sell his...; and other assorted veiled attempts to sell or offers for sale in the General Discussion Board.It takes fewer than 5 minutes to research almost any Rolex model and find what they are being sold for across the Internet. You are urged to search the Forum Sales Board if you are seeking an estimate of value for your watch, or search the Internet for prevailing values. TRF is neither a shopping service for you, nor is it a valuation service as value varies widely depending on condition and local economies..TRF urges members not to make offers on such watches that pop up in these threads because most of the scams or bad experiences that have cost members dearly have been outside of the proper Sales Forum.. This rule is for protection of the membership and to control sales and buying to the proper board.Your post requesting value, or any other post that appears to be a solicitation for sale
