Re: Interesting thread on TRF - Rolex IS watching
Rolex created the problem- go look at the OP 41’s in orange, pink, Turqoise all retail for $6000 and selling for 3-5 times msrp… I wonder how these grey mkt dealers are getting brand new watches— my guess.. from the ADs… if Rolex increased production they would squash the grey mkt or at least reduc...

Re: Interesting thread on TRF - Rolex IS watching
Fact is. Manufactures created the grey market by forcing AD's to buy watches they can't sell in order to get the ones that do sell. Besides watches. AD's have to buy accessories etc. for every brand they have in stock which costs money and which they would prefer to use on watches. If they can't sel...

Re: watchbandsonline.com question
I stopped buying due to weight and slow sales. Those straps weigh a ton and a medium order could cost a bit in s/h Also. Took almost 3 months to sell the last black 18 mm and they didn't want to make 22 mm as some were asking Now they do and you can buy turquoise and a load of other colors they didn...

Re: A Pam full of worms, interesting read...
I posted this on another forum and fact is. Loads of companies do the same thing. Movement is inhouse if you want to get technical about it. the company that makes it is owned by Richemont who also owns Panerai. It's not from an outside company. Until recently. Rolex didn't make it's own movements. ...

Canadian mint pumps these types of coins out. While many are cool looking. They don't have the value to match the asking price. The coins have denominations that if the dollar becomes worthless. It has value as silver. If silver becomes worthless. It has value as money. Sadly. If you pay $80.00 and ...

If you can try them on. Try them on and decide what fits you best. Some feel self conscious wearing something that just looks too large for their wrist.

I would think all made to the same standards. Even one stated as quality could break due to a simple flaw on one of the lug pins
I always test the spring tension in mine. If they have a good spring resistance when pressed down. I use. Weak spring with little resistance get tossed

Considering the fact that Panerai has a habit of blaming owners when something goes wrong with their watches and has a problem honoring a 2? year warranty. Can't wait to see what they do when someone brings in an 8 year old watch for repair Just glad mine have Unitas movements which any watchmaker c...

PC's are all I've owned. I can adapt it anyway I want whereas Apple is pretty much Apple only products
Use mine for work and gaming, but not a high powered gaming PC.

I had about 5 Caribbean 1000 models and one had a broken crown. If yours is the same design. Don't think you can buy one. The case tube on mine was threaded on the inside and crown tube was threaded on the outside Parts suppliers do sell threaded tube and crown sets if you want to change it over DON

Re: Options for Fixed Lug Bar Watches?
You can buy straps from Hirsch. Can probably custom order through a retailer in any material and store will attach it for you
Might be an extra cost for a strap that usually isn't available in an open end design

Re: Jaeger LeCoultre vintage education
Just a warning. Many parts for older vintage JLC's are discontinued. If JLC has them. They won't sell them to you. You will have to send them the watch for them to check and then tell you the cost. They wanted one time almost $700.00 for a movement ring and a dial for a watch that only sold in close...
