Vulcain in trouble?

Brice probably knows more than me, but my understanding was that even with 12 employees, these were still in house manufacture movements. At the very least, the movement design was invented by Vulcain (parallel bridge) and use of the case design predates the JLC Polaris. The decompression table does...

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's Porsches

The 74 RSR was the big surprise to me. Almost $1M over other recent examples in similar shape. Definitely would have been my pick. Total sale seems to point to p-car collectors getting a little more finicky than the hype a year and two ago, but still a very strong market for truly great cars. I thin...

Re: Anybody Seen "Under the Skin"?

It did have a couple of very haunting scenes that I thought were very original and well shot, but I hoped for a little more from it after the festival reviews.

Re: Black Bay Bronze

Shoulda been brushed rose gold, same size, no 3, 6, 9.

It's kinda cool but not for $4000 or whatever. I guess it'll appeal to the panerai and micro crowds?

Gorgeous. My 3.2 is my first "keeper", the one I could never see being replaced. If your swapping to a 993, I venture you might go back someday.

Trade values

So what I do (on watches over say, $5k) is establish a baseline by getting a trade/buy offer from someone like DavidSW or Thanh Do or the like and if it's less than say a $500 difference for what I think I'm going to list/sell it for, I just get rid of it. If it's more, I'll list it and try to sell...

I had my '85 done last year and was thrilled with the results. It created a lot more depth of color and evenness from panel to panel.
