If you want something unique, very collectible, and also very seldom available – then you'll want to look at this particular Seamaster 2657 because it is very beautiful and very difficult to find.

The case appears to be unpolished, has drilled lugs, and the correct Omega crown. The 1953 caliber 344 bumper was completely…

I know that the Apollo XI case back is much rarer than the Flight Qualifed case back, but I'm just curious if anyone knows the approximate number of each that were produced. Thanks.

On July 22, 2024, Alex, who is only 37, suffered a massive stroke while at home. He lived alone at the time and 30 hours passed before he was found. That delay resulted in…
