Great choice, the BLNR bezel is impressive!
This thread serves as a good cautionary tale, thanks OP! I'll never go near diamonds with my watch hand.
I once got tiny drops of Loctite superglue on the sapphire & bezel of a GMT. A panicked...
Amazing collection of Pateks, thanks for sharing. I'd be very tempted to take more photos to document the group and have them printed larger than life...
Congrats on the GMT purchase. As others have said it's definitely built to last so enjoy! You've got the half link in the bracelet which folds back on itself for minor size adjustments too
When you're used to a sub (& soon the BLNR) it's hard to imagine a TT DJ getting much wrist time. Or if you are keen on the DJ maybe push back on price a little because as others have said, they...
Do you mind me asking which other online retailers you've dealt with or recommend for accurate quotes and selling/px?
Glad this worked out OP. I've had email quotes from them before & also sold a 2014 Hulk Submariner to them last year (a transaction I was happy with). In future I'll probably make face to face...
Good to see some level of cash injection coming in from tourists spending. Although looking at that year on year exports graph in the Guardian article, could this exports/sales spike also be a...
Thanks for posting! Knowing the provenance of a watch like this is fascinating & meeting decent people through watches is always a bonus. Enjoy the Air King.
Amazing lighting (& the dial on that watch is stunning).
I can see the attraction of the Sinn 556i. Looks good on different straps too for day to day wear.
I also agree with some of the previous posts about taking pleasure in owning a watch for a while...
Great comparison review, thanks for posting Scott. I understand what everyone is saying about the understated classic styling of the Explorer (& the previous Explorer model too), but I'm sticking my...
If international cabin crew can rock up to AD's and buy SS sport models on the spot (especially limited / smoke & mirrors limited models like the BLNR, Deepsea DBlue, SS Daytona or Hulk) they must be...
I second/third what people are saying about initially being polite to airport security staff, careful to zip away your watch & valuables in a jacket or hand luggage bag, & keep your wits about you. I...
IMHO rarity, provenance, functional design, and a sense that an issued watch is still working as it was during a specific period in history could be significant factors for collectors. it would...
Very nice looking SD!
I like the Speedy on a leather strap. I'd be tempted to keep the Milgauss on the original ss bracelet.
Great read, thanks for all the points thus far. Here are some more London-centric points that I've been thinking (but hopefully are relevant to a few people):
1. Are government backed schemes...
This is a thorough (& terrifying) dissection of a YM. Thanks for sharing.
A friend of mine had the platinum bezel blue dial model (same as IanBear's photo below). Very nice! The Everose on the black strap seems a real head turner in the larger size too. I've seen them...
Lovely stuff. If that GMT was the two tone it would have perfectly matched with the yellow parasol...
Stunning
That all escalated quite quickly... Lovely read though :la:
SS with the white gold fluted bezel have grown on me, although that bezel does make it seem gigantic.
Very nice collection. I can imagine it could get tense if you had to let something go for a white DaytonaC.
