3 hamilton vancotts
GreetingsEnclosed is a picture of 3 Hamilton Vancotts. The Vancott was the first scheduled production watch for Hamilton in 1946 after WW2. What is interesting about this watch is that there were 2 different versions of the same model: a 10k solid gold bezel w/ a stainless steel back, and a solid 14k gold case version. This is only the second 14k version I have ever seen. In the attached picture, the watch in the middle is the 14k version, and the watches on either side are the 10k styles. The watch on the left has had the dial refinished and the other 2 are all original, I believe.Will Roseman is one who is credited with the re-discovery of this model and is the source of the above information, and the person who got me interested in the Vancott.I do have a question for Will or anyone who knows: The crown on the 14k version is different that the other two. Is this correct?Thanks for looking.

A clue I've been hanging around here too much...
A couple days ago I was invited to attend, and possibly lead a session or two, a multi-day academic retreat to be hosted by my graduate program next spring.The first train of thought that raced through my mind: "Which watches should I bring? The Cedric looks properly academic, but by then I should have my engraved decagon restored and ready for wear. The pretty little coral Olivia is suitably spring-like, right? Oh, I should bring something durable. The Seiko 5 will do, although I really do want to pick up a Citizen diver sometime soon anyway. I'm saving the Stowa for my thesis defense. Hmm. I'll have to think carefully about this."The second thought: "Oh, so what do they want me to talk about?"

Ultimate grail INcOMING...
Greetings gents,,,As some of you know I have been lusting after the 5131J/R for few years. Being an airline captain flying around the globe week in week out I thought this amazing piece would be fitting to own and one day and look at all the cities and World enamel dial knowing I have touched down all over it would be an amazing achievement. After knocking on doors all over the World at various Patek Philippe ADs and even writing a personalized letter direct to Mr Stern I soon realised this piece is mission impossible anywhere near retail price.. Anyway cut a long story short I recently parted with my gorgeous 5980R and 5712 (very reluctantly this one) added some cash and finally got my hands on a sealed 5131R from a good friend here in Dubai. I am over the moon with the watch as it typifies everything that Patek is about with the calavatra style case and enamel dial of the World, and the Rose gold is awesome too.Hope you enjoy few photos and I am sure I will be adding more soon..

Tried this on at the local boutique recently. Wasn't aware that they only made 300 of these. Thoughts?👍

Which to get GMT 116719 PEPSI OR 116509 Daytona
Im pretty certain my next Rolex will be a PM of the white gold variety but I am torn between the 116719 Pepsi and the 116509 Daytona with black Racing dial.Which should I pursue?
