I found a blue Rolex that I like on eBay from a seller called Pure Watches.
The watch is described as original except the bracelet.
The price for this watch is $ 3,999.95 USD.
Do you have experience with this seller ?, the pric…

Hello, I own this Explorer II, serial number U686XXX, with a transitional dial (luminova indexes but swiss-T< 25 indication), can anyone give me an indication of its rarity and collector’s value?
On an economic level, can it be considered a plus?
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with answers

“Chrono creep is acceptable and within spec” – Tudor/RSC
In August, I sent my 2023 Tudor chronograph in for a service to address what I’ve since learned is typically tight winding (it’s B01 moment thing, apparently), chrono creep and the watch running a wee bit slow. It came back within 2 weeks and the chron…

Happy Lunar New Year! A new year…a new interest. Bought a couple vintage Rolex since someone I knew was selling them at a decent price.
Never researched much on Rolex or the 1680, but of course I did for this one. The bezel that came with this Role…

Below is an example from a 1971 ‘meter -first’ watch. The lacquer of the dial and the hour markers is granular, porous. It looks great . Which dials had this texture in the 1970s or did all of them and it is just a question of taking a picture with a good camera ? Or is it part of an aging process and thus depends on external factors ( humidity, exposure to the elements) ? Wuld be glad to be enlightened.

1960 – 1970 Precision models
My watchmaker ( a Rolex authorised dealer in Paris) advises against buying the 1960/70 Precision models because the proper spare parts are few and far between and revision is costly, instead he advises buy Perpetuals. Do you agree ? Which experience/s…

Like a lot of you, I am a watch lover with a bunch of fun pieces in the mix. I bought this 1970 Datejust back in 2020 after obsessing about the ghost dial variants for a while. It is pretty much the perfect watch for me, robust and classy. Whilst not a…

I don’t have one, in fact have never owned any Rolex, but am considering an original owner 1991 Polar 16570 [edit]. I’m about 2 to 5 years late to the party, story of my life, but can’t drive by staring into the rear view mirror.
Continue readingAnyway, I read a few threads where people sold their Polars after prices popped. Looking at this watch and digging it as a non-Rolex guy, hard to imagine there aren’t a few people missing that spot in their watch box.
Edit: Maybe to clarify, now that the watch is…
