Reputable brokers / dealers that do not charge sales tax for out-of-state.

Pretty self explanatory. Looking for my 1st Rolex (SD43) and while I’ve done a lot of business with the usual suspects (mostly Jomashop) I am not interested in continually paying the associated sales tax on a $10k plus investment. Who do you recommen…

Tudor Pelagos LHD: Any difference from inception to current day models?

Good morning gents. I just bought my 1st Tudor, used, from Jomashop. I have purchased from them before and this one checked all the boxes. JS stated it was from 2023, so my question is, have there been any variants to the LHD model either before or …

Suspect Speedie 3570.50

Curious if anyone else notices the issue I did with this Speedie, assuming what I saw is an issue. Maybe it is, maybe not.

My 7” wrist vs the 44mm 300m Chrono Diver

Good morning gents,
I have the itch for a new watch and have been considering the current 44mm SMP chronograph. Shown below is my current 42mm 300m. The 44’s LTL is +3mm larger, and I think that may be too big for me. I am about a 6.75-7” wrist. T…

Preferred jeweler in Key West?

The family and I are headed to the Keys next month, and while I know there isn’t an AD there, is there a place you recommend I visit? Preferences are the current no-date Sub or Sea-Dweller 43mm.

43mm Sea Dweller 126600. Does the year affect value?

This is likely dumb, but everything else being equal, if you have identical watches, identically spec’d and equipped, is there a reason the older watch would be less valuable than the more current? Looking at a 43mm SD, seller has two 126600, the abov…

Perfect time when stored / loses 3 seconds/hour when worn. Steinhart.

Watch is the Steinhart Vintage Red and has either a ETA 2824-2/SW 200, élaboré movement, I am not sure which.

I realize those movements are common and it’s going back to the shop in a few days, just is this normal? That when you wear it, vs it sittin…

Vintage Red movement- how often do you wind?

Good evening folks. I’ve had my Ocean One Vintage Red for about a month. I have no idea if it’s an ETA 2824-2 or the SW 200, élaboré movement. But either way, I am new to Steinhart and am curious how often you wind yours. I havnt been, due to posti…

First Tudor, considering Pelagos FXD vs Ultra and BB Mono

Good Saturday afternoon gentlemen. Topic is pretty self explanatory. Am on the ‘interest’ list at my local AD for a no-date Rolex sub, but in the meantime am considering a Tudor. Am retired military and prefer tool watches. All three of the ones me…
