Is Rolex hurting themselves? I know they are hurting us.
It may just be the market but things aren't looking good for trades and selling. I am not trying to be negative, I am just trying to prove a point.When I got my first Rolex Sub-No date in 1992 I wore it for 9 months and traded it in for what I paid for it when I upgraded to a GMTII. Now, you will lose 1/4 to 1/2 unless it is a stainless Daytona when you drive it off the lot(so to speak).My dad paid $1200 for his first Sub-No date he bought in 1980. When I bought one in 1992 it was $2000. That is and increase of $800 dollars in 12 years. Now 16 years later they are $5450, that is an increase of $2450. Is it just me or is this pushing the ridiculous, it is the same watch except it has the COSC stamp. Of course all Rolex's have went up as much. I love Rolex and I love the idea of buying one new from an AD, but in looking at the pre-owned market for my S/P YM that I bought new last May and looking at the market of all Rolex's but the Stainless Daytona. I think the depreciation is as bad as

In need of some help!
My mother gave me this LeCoultre womens watch she said belonged to my Great-Grandmother. What I am trying to find out is, how old it is and what it's worth. I do know that my mother had it serviced in the mid 90's and that it works now. It has a hand wound mechanical movement and what looks to be the original box. I am fairly certain that the bracelet is not original. It says "USA" and 10k g.f. on the back. The watch back says 10k gold filled as well. I have no other papers except the service slip from 90's. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!!!Sorry for the poor photos. The watch is very small and I don't have Macro.

SD43-126600 Waitlist Timeframe?
I am trying to locate a SD43-126600, but my local AD tells me there is a 3-4 year wait. Is this a common theme from what you guys/gals are hearing?They have a BLRN and a Submariner 114060 in stock, and I am a little torn on what to do. Thanks!
