1918 Elgin"Black Star Dial" Trench Watch, PERFECT DIAL ! ! ! ! !
Hey guys !I just finished up with this 1918 Elgin "Black Star Dial" Trench Watch the other day.What makes this watch so incredible is the dial, it has PERFECT detail ! ! ! ! ! I have restored well over 50 of these watches and this is by FAR the best dial that I have ever seen, just had to share it with you.It's housed in a Fahys "OreSilver" Semi-Hermtic case that still has the original factory crown.The movement was completely taken apart, cleaned oiled and I also installed a brand new mainspring.Amplitude and timing are now SUPERB!!!New glass crystal and a new black nylon military strap, re-lumed hour and minute hands.Just look at how PERFECT the detail is on the Eagle within the crest, they NEVER look this crisp and tight.You can make out the feathers on the wings with ease and even the Eagle's beak!!!!!This dial must have been struck with a brand new dial die when stamped back in 1918.They are usually much more fuzzy looking from being struck time after time.Here are 5 Elgin "Black

Need some help please
Hi everyone.I saw the Dark Side at an AD and fell in love! I can't get it out of my mind. However the only hi end watches that I own are Rolex and Panerai. I'm having a hard time justifying how expensive it is. I can get the Dark Side for quite a bit off retail but it's still up there. My question is how do Omega hold their value? In particular how to you think the Dark Side will hold value over time? I've never had this concern about a Rolex. I'm debating getting rid of my GMT C and I've already turned my Panerai. Thinking about three watches for my collection. Sub no date, SS Daytona, and the Dark side. Thanks!

Personal request - anyone own an 116610LV and a 116655?
I have a 116610LVc and plan to add a 116655 to complete my two Rolex collection. I've searched and searched the web for a photo of the two together, such as in a watch winder or storage box, but haven't been able to find such. I've seen the two together in a larger collection of watches, but not just a photo of the two by themselves.Does anyone here own the two? Can you post some photos? I would would much obliged to you.

1st Rolex Purchase Advice. (Update)
We'll what an eventful and fruitful day, travelled to our capital city of Cardiff in pursuit of my first choice a seadweller anniversary, if that was not going to be possible,which it became abundantly clear (5 year waiting list at Fraser Hart) then I was prepared to consider the DSSD black or my favourite out of the 2 the DSSD deep blue.After speaking with the dealer at Fraser Hart I enquired about waiting lists for the black and blue only to be told roughly 6 weeks which I was prepared to wait.I along with my good lady attended at Watches of Switzerland and was told a story that was very similar, during my conversation with the dealer Anita, her colleague informed her that a deep blue version was available for me to try, but it was to be purchased tomorrow by someone who had bought a DSSD black whilst the blue was on order, I tried the watch on, fell in love with it, put my name on their list and left the store content with what I was going to eventually purchase.My wife and I went t
