So I know this as been done in some way or another more than 1000 times, but I want to look at it on each watches own merit. History and resale value is a large part of why people buy one of these two watches, however I want to get peoples options ( I…
Continue readingNew watch day: 321 Ed White!
A bit of a cheer up after my troubles with the watch cleaning machine, I got the call on an Ed White! I dropped everything and headed to my boutique and picked it up.
I was afraid it would be too much like my Hesalite 1861, but frankly, they are oddly…

Hi everyone,

I folks. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Today, I bought this beautiful Seamaster Planet Ocean at my local AD.

Hello all,
I just received my first modern Omega (a Hesalite Speedmaster Professional) and it has been a mostly good experience. I will say first and foremost, Topper Jewelers was/is fantastic to deal with. I will for sure go to them for my next purch…

I recently acquired this 2531.80 from a friend, who bought it pre-owned in 2022 from a well-known jewelry store in my country, with their certificate of authenticity.
