i dont like Weil, however that Mont Blanc is just a standard sterile dial 7750 Valjoux with a mont blanc stamped on to it.

you can buy that exact movement / dial set for a few hundred bucks

bam

double post…

Just got this one for Xmas…love it!

Picked up anything lately Bing?

wow - thanks for the link

no, and likely wont for several months.

i let the wife do about $12k in work to the house so i am playing catch up for a while.

i did just let a fortis stratoliner go on ebay… it went for $900, but it had no paper work or box or anything and showed heavy use… i’d rather pay more for something with documentation so that it retains some resale value.

i’m sure you’ve snagged a few choice pieces of late… care to share?

Just one lately… I think.

Got the Aristo for xmas, thanks Avatar :tup:

Nice!

not a great pic but this was the watch on a friend of mine’s wrist the other night… he’s more of a business contact but we get along real well.

estimate $50k+

Fantastic piece. I wouldn’t mind a 5960 or 5146.

how many Pateks do you have?

None. :frowning:

Anyone know anything about Campanola’s? I’ve seen them and they look pretty amazing.

I tried on a handful of Breitling watches the other day. I have the perfect size wrists for them. Effffffffffffff I want one so bad.

Breitling website scares me about buying watches online.
I saw one I liked on overstock.com but now I am paranoid that it is fake.

Overstock is a legit site, but I think you wouldn’t get a warranty since they likely are not an AD.

Yeah I got my Oris on overstock and had it checked out by a dealer and he said I was good to go. It was on sale and after bing cashback, which was 8% at the time, I told him what I paid and he said he could not even come close.
Breitling scared me because they throw a number out there that 99% are fakes on the internet.
