Identifying a Hamilton?
Hi,I've been googling Hamilton's and I can't find one that looks like the one I'm trying to ID. The closest I've found is vintagehamilton's avatar. It's that same shape but with a black face. It doesn't say electric on the face. The inside of the back is marked Hamilton W. Co. Lancaster, PA 10K gold filled S688581 S & W. Is there anywhere I can go to research this? My fil wants me to sell it for him but I don't even know what it's called. Thanks for any help.

First watch purchase - TAG vs. Longines
Purchasing my first mid-range automatic watch, and deciding between a TAG carrera dual time (CARRERA Calibre 7 Twin Time Automatic Watch 41 mm Silver Alligator skin bracelet | TAG Heuer) and the Longines master chrono (The Longines Master Collection - Longines - L2.669.4.78.3).The only other watch I own is black & black, and as such I use it only for black tie events. Looking for a versatile second piece, and my personal opinion is the TAG is slightly more versatile than the Longines given the basic vs. chrono complications. My slight concerns are the worse water resistance on the Longines and I've heard the TAG uses a plastic movement holder. Any help you guys could give is appreciated.-Rob

Best Entry Level Platinum Leather Strap Patek?
Hey All,Im looking to get a leather strap Patek in the next 6months and was wondering what you thought was the best option in the 30-50k range? Ive looked at 5146p which is around 46k used... as well as 5056p which is 36k used... any other options? Im looking to Platinum as I have a Rose Gold DD2 so looking for something different to Gold.. and I think it'd be pretty neat to have my 1 and only Patek be in Platinum! The 5056p MIGHT be a bit small as all my watches below are 40mm+ in size...This will be the one and only Patek I own.. my current collection is below - Rolex DD2 Rose Gold with Chocolate DialBreitling B01 Blue Dial LTD Edition NavitimerTag Aquaracer Chrono Black DialTag 2 Tone Caribbean Edition Quartz with Blue DialErnst Benz Black Dial Gold Numerals Chronolunar OfficersPhilip Stein Blue Dial PrestigeThanks All!Cass

Went into a Rolex AD in Cabo - Possibly some insider information
Im in Cabo for vacation right now and happened to see a Rolex sign. Walk in and this store has just about every high end watch in 1 place. I'm talking like Hublot, ton's of Panerai, Cartier, AP, and a lot of cheaper ones like Gucci/etc. But best of all, a pretty nice stock of Rolexes. Literally the biggest stock of Rolex I've ever seen at an AD in person. Seemed to have everything besides the BLRN, Hulk, SS daytona, and SS Subs.I get to talking with the sales guy for like an hour and a half. I asked about price increases, he said he wasn't really worried about them because 'yes they're coming, but might not be till end of the year and it wont be significant'. -Now that just threw me off, because the local ad (in South Dakota) was freaking out saying shortage/AHHHH/:omg:/etc and prices are going to increase 10-22% probably around April.Asked about the shortage and again he's like yeah they're limiting supply on Professional models or at least making them harder to get unless you have a
