The Elgin SWIVEL LUG Trench Watches, a Newly Found Case Design ! ! !
Hey guys !Just when you think that you have seen it all a previously unknown SWIVEL LUG case design is found at the bottom of a bag ! ! ! !Me and Fred were doing a little shopping out at the NAWCC Regional Mart in Del Mar, California last week.I came across a table that had three rather larger bags of watch cases in clear plastic bags so I picked all of them up to take a peek.Two of the bags looked pretty good while the third had mostly WWII stuff that I really don't work with so I took a pass.Me and the seller made a deal for the first two bags that held about 150+ cases combined, I saw MANY good cases that I could use.But, one VERY SPECIAL case stood out like a sore thumb ! ! ! It was a SWIVEL LUG Trench Watch Case that was made by the Philadelphia Watch Case Company ! ! ! ! !Philadelphia was NOT known for manufacturing trench watch cases with a SWIVEL LUG configuration during the Great War, they ALWAYS have solid fixed lugs, NEVER Swivel Lugs ! ! ! !The Illinois Watch Case Company w

Would a WG 5167 have a chance in the family?
Random thought of the day...Between the SS and the Rose Gold, do you think a WG 5167 would be successful (more so than either of the current models)? I think it's hard sometimes if a SS and WG are too similar (unless just slightly unique, like a WG Blue Sub).

Buying Rolex in California Oregon or Nevada
Hi Everyone,I am new to the forum, I live in Manchester UK and was looking to buy a new Rolex. However many of the ones I like have a long wait here in the UK.I am visiting America at the end of Next month (23rd March 2018) and will be in LA, Palm Springs, Laughlin and Las Vegas. I am hoping to get a SS Skydweller, A SS Daytona C or a Hulk?Few questions.1) What are the chances of me getting one of these watches in 7 weeks time when I am over there? If there is no chance, I am back in September, so would that be more realistic?2) Are there any discounts off list price on the watches I like?3) Will I have to pay US sales tax, even though I am a tourist?4) Will it be worth the very long drive to Oregon, where there is no sales tax?the US/UK prices are similar, I am just hoping there is better availability in the USA, or if I can get a discount or avoid sales tax, it does work out slightly cheaper in the USA.Thanks in Advance!

First post - New 2017 Black GMTII - Xmas present
Hi All,I'd been after a new Rolex GMT II for sometime, I had passed through Heathrow a few times and only ever seen a SS/Gold GMT II in stock. I was really hankering after a SS black or the black/blue BLNR GMT II but only recently started to pursue it with any real anger. I thought I'd try and get a BLNR model first but these are proving very hard to obtain (I called a few contacts in Switzerland, Germany, Turkey (as I knew of the acute shortage in the UK) without luck. I didn't want to go to grey market and pay a premium (and take a risk of getting issues post sale) so decided to 3 days before Xmas (rather ambitiously) look for a SS model.I went to nearly every Rolex dealer in Central London in person (after first trying my local AD's) and as you can imagine was pleasantly smiled at but told that any SS sport model watch is in high demand and stocks are very low or order books closed with long waiting lists and a potential price rise due in 2018.I did manage to find 2 AD's with a SS/G
