Seiko Ladies¡ä Watch

tachymiler or QNE
decisions decisionswhich would you guys choose? i really like both and i had the ETO in there but at the end of the day the ETO got ruled out due to the quartz and it's similarity to my x-wind. i know.. the QNE is pretty similar to the air race, which i also have, but it has plenty of differences. the tachymiler is totally different from either and sports a 7750! butdecisions decisions:D

Review - Maurice LaCroix Masterpiece LE Open Heart MP7108
I'll try to keep this as close to standard review formats I've seen. My watch is from the Limited Edition run - #6 of 100 made. Comments welcome afterwards, positive or negative! If, by chance, this is to be added to the review forum please delete/edit as necessary.SPECIFICATIONSManufacturer: Maurice LaCroixModel: Masterpiece L.E. Open Heart Reference #: MP7108Movement: ML101 manual wind (based on the Peseux 7046)Case: 18K pink goldStrap & Clasp: Brown crocodile with 18K buckleDimension: 40 mm without crownList retail: $8650SCORESStrap & Clasp: 9.5/10 - I'm a fan of the croc/buckle combination so this rates high. Unlike some colors, the brown is very natural looking. The buckle is in the shape of the "M" in the company's logo. Replacement straps and buckles can be purchased from the USA Headquarters in North Jersey. Strap = $290, buckle = $410.Operation: 5/5 - The large crown makes winding and setting simple, and there's a definitive stop when fully wound at @ 35 twist

There's a first time for everything!
It pays to be jaded and skeptical about the statement "just serviced" in an eBay listing. I never, ever believe it and plan on adding the cost of a COA to the price. After wearing the watch once or twice it goes to Sam for proper care. Well, I've been testing this recent acquisition...watchtalkforums.info/foru...-incoming.html...and I'm starting to believe the seller was truthful about it being just serviced. It keeps time to within a few seconds a day, and the power reserve is 56.5 hours. I had to check it twice to make sure I didn't mess up the date & time I started checking it. I don't think I've ever come across a vintage watch from eBay that performed as well on arrival. It's still making the next trip to Sam's shop with me for pictures, but I don't think he'll have much to do to it. I'll post them when I get a few good shots - I want the Seamaster column wheel caliber 321 next to the De Ville cam caliber 861 for a comparison.

Can't stop staring...
Really love AP Ceramic!

DJ2 Long Term Speculation
Hi All:My son and I recently added a Datejust ii 116334 to our little collection. Everything we love about this watch seems to be the exact attributes that many didn't appreciate about it-- Beefy look, blingy fluted bezel, fat markers, etc and as such the model was discontinued this year...Now we don't buy watches as investments but that said it is certainly nice if the ones we love and buy end up increasing in value. With that in mind, if you feel compelled would you chime in with your opinions on what might happened to the value of the DJ2 over time?My understanding is that not that many of these were made relative to other models and I am of the opinion that it is possible if not likely that since they are discontinued and Rolex is likely to stick with the less substantial styling attributes of (for instance) the DJ41 that the DJii could end up appreciating nicely over time.Anyone?Thx for playing.RR
