Bring a Loupe: The Two World-Class Watches From 1942 That Could Sell Cheap At Next Week's Christie's Geneva Auction (Relatively Speaking)
One of the questions I'm asked most by watch collectors is "what's next?" in the world of vintage watches. We've seen the likes of Universal Geneve and Heuer really climb over the last few years, and Rolex and Patek – well – you know about them already. The two answers that I have been most often giving over the last 18 months or so, at least when talking about high-end vintage watches, is complicated Vacheron and AP's. The quality, the design, and pure, unadulterated watchmaking make these two categories so fun to observe, and the rarity and value make them fantastic places to spend your hard-earned money, in particular relative to vintage Patek. Today I'll take a look at two watches, both for sale in next Monday's Christie's Geneva sale, that are simply divine vintage watches, and could in fact both sell at the low end of estimates simply because, well, they're not Pateks. And that is just silly. Strangely, they both happen to hav

New here, quick Q
Hello everyone,long time lurker, finally signed up today. I am ready to pull the trigger on a blue face F1 and had a quick question i can not seem to get an answer for. I have a rather small wrist, 6.5 inches and wanted to make sure the rubber band will fit correctly. I have had problems before with a rubber band only going down to 7.5 inches and really want to double check before getting one. My AD only has metal bands at the time. Thanks in advance!

Help with Wakmann Chronograph
I'm a small time antique dealer & buy partial or entire estates a few times a year. I bought a partial in the spring that included a small box of what looked like junk watches. I've always been a sucker for mechanical timepieces and clocks. After a quick look to see if there was anything I recognized I set the box aside to check out later.I finally hit a slow period & remembered that box this morning. Sorting through I found pretty much what I expected....but mixed in with the usual Seiko/Timex/No Name watches was a Wakmann Incabloc. This was the first of these I had seen or heard of so here I am. The watch is in decent cosmetic condition except for the cracked crystal. Although it's only been a few hours it seems to run ok. Chronograph function works, & when it hit 12 the day & date changed. I'm hoping someone can help id the movement & possibly give a guesstimate of value. The number on the back reads 1315 30 74. Does that have anything to do with date

Daytona vs DD40 - Bezel Scratching
Wanted to get peoples opinions of how easily bezels scratch interms of the PM Daytona models with PM bezels (non ceramic) VS fluted bezels of DD40 PM.I am I wrong in assuming that scratches and wear show up less on the PM fluted bezel given its construction but rather easily on the PM Daytona?Finally, owners of PT DD40....scratches and wear show up easily? But, I know that with PT you don't actually lose any metal when it scratches...it may look bad....but the PT metal isn't lost...its just moved.Thanks!.
