I recently received a 14790ST Royal Oak. The listing photos showed properly aligned bezel bolts. I didn't see it at first, but today on the second day of ownership i noticed the 4 o'clock bezel bolt is misaligned. I first assumed the watch wa…
Continue readingI just picked up a used Cartier Drive ultra flat. I’m pumped. I believe a few members have one.
I do like both the Tonneau and Tortue case shapes more, but they are much more expensive watches.
Admin Edit and Note: Please review our rule 4.
Continue readingMy dad just found his dad’s Breitling and gave it to me. It’s a co pilot.
It appears they re issued this a few years ago. I’ve never been into Breitling but I really like this watch. I need to get it serviced and maybe the crystal replaced. It’s either 1950’s or 1960’s it appears. Does anyone know about these watches? There is not much online because the newer one is what comes up.

I put a baby Patek on a blue alligator strap with painted gold
to somewhat match the gold dial and etched gold indices. Do you like it? It came on a black vintage alligator but it was too small, so I got a new black Lizard, which is nice. But I wanted to see how a more contemporary strap looked.
The shadows are m…
Continue readingWhat do you think of Sea-Gull as part of a modest 12 watch collection
featuring as low a value watch as an 89 dollar late Pope Francis Swatch (having changed from the original Casio), to as nice as a few 1960’s Rolex’s and one 1960’s Patek.
Continue reading6 vintage, 6 contemporary. One modern watch slot left. If I had the means, it would be the Moser Pioneer 40mm in Arctic Blue. But the vintage watch train ran the operation into the ground and I must wait until next year to move forward. However I’d like to fill the final spot in the box for the meantime.
I value the…
What do you think of Sea-Gull as part of a modest 12 watch collection
How do you feel about Breguet numerals?
I’m liking them. Does this give you Journe vibes? Or no? I’m trying to figure out if I drain the watch account on a different watch or keep saving for this or similar.

If one is posting about 4-5k watches does that go here or in expensive forum?
It’s seems it’s right in the middle. I only ask because the level of hostility about the 3-6k priced watches on the general forum seems pitched.
Continue readingAre people angry everywhere?
Are we new to forums? It seems forum manners are missing on Watchyouseek. You can be critical, but do in a way which doesn’t make one sound like an angry person with limited means. My god. Every thread has the aggressive poster. It doesn’t bother me, It’s just interesting sociologically.
I have been looking for a dial with patina. I found it this weekend.
Fell in love. The bracelet will be too small so it will need to go on a strap. I’m actually thinking of yellow suede. Do you think that would work? There was a mint condition blue dial sunburst datejust in Paris i also saw, but this one was too unique to pass up. Anyone into tropical dials?

My integrated bracelet interest continues.
This just arrived from Italy. I love it so much. The size is prefect. I posted that Blue UG ellipse I also recently got, but this one is larger and I find the vertically oriented shape more pleasing than the horizontal. The thing is so thin, it’s amazing they got an automatic in it. It’s super accurate and held power with minimal wear so far. These are a real buy, I think.

I received my art watch from vintage 911 builder Rich of ROCS Auto
The design/watch operation is called, AKAROCS. The cars are Rocs Auto. Rich modifies new Seiko watches in a similar aesthetic to his 911 builds. I deeply love everything he makes.
