The Dive Watch Connection

Fair critique ryeguy. Still, La Joux Perret building Vulcain designs is a far cry from jamming an ETA or Miyota in a Chinese case.

Welcome. Norway is at the top of my international travel to do list. This intro delivers.

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...

And the wife's new XC90, which is nice, but who cares about seeing a Volvo?

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...

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.

If it was priced like a Helson people would probably be less critical.

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?

Great comparison shot between arctic and polar silver on those 993's

Late addition.

Or walk two houses down and get some from me.

This is where they build them, doesn't look like they've got room for a bunch of different cases!

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.

At the airport heading from beach to blizzard.

I'm justifying my 114060 as a birth year for my kid[WINKING FACE]

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.

Thanks WU!!

This may satisfy my itch for something with orange hands to match the gauges on the carrera without springing for a racing dial speedy.
