Yard Sale Find
Stopped by an inside yard sale (HUH??) and found these two watches. Don't know if they're worth anything, but for $3.00 for both (!), I figured I had nothing to lose.One is a (What I presume to be) mens Bulova. The dial is damaged, but the blue hands are iintriguing. It runs fast, gaining about 4 minutes in an hour. I like the look of this watch.The other one is a ladies Gruen Precision and this one keep very good time, having only gained a minute since I set it nearly 24 hours ago. My wife likes this one. However, the band is very small and won't even fit over my wrist. Don't know if they even makes bands for this type of watch anymre.Anyone know the year/era these are from? I assume the Bulova is from @ the 1930's, no?

Just a little update
I put this strap on my wifes Speedmaster for a while ago.It was maybe a little too white so now we will try this instead.Not bad IMHO.

Submariner No Date at AD - Need to decide!!
Hi All -I¡¯ve been looking very seriously at a pre-owned GMT II LN as my first Rolex. Drove past a random AD today, stopped in and they had a new GMT LN and also a Submariner No Date, both fully stickered. Fell in love with the Sub No Date!! Love the simplicity and symmetry of it. My mind is changed! Im new to Rolex (though not new to watches) but I typically try buy pre-owned. This AD was adamant no discounts and I¡¯ll have to eat the tax. I don¡¯t like taking the depreciation hit but that said just browsing the ¡®for sale¡¯ listings it doesn¡¯t seem like I¡¯ll save a huge amount going pre-owned these days (assuming pre-owned watch is still under warranty). So, for the first time go ahead and buy a new watch? Or, wait and ty snag pre-owned! Thanks for your thoughts!

Wife is happy!!! Merry Xmas all.
You all asked for pics on Christmas after she opened her gift!!The look on my wife¡¯s face was priceless this morning when we opened our gifts. As you can see she had a puzzled kind of ¡°no you didn¡¯t.... yes you did¡± look on her face. She had no idea it was coming & that made it awesome!! Her first Rolex 114200. Removed 3 links & it¡¯s on her wrist!!!Merry Christmas TRF from my family to yours!
