    Thought I'd pop the Skyliner on this morning, love the elegance and simplicity of this watch. It's a 1966 example.

    Don't be so bloody opinionated. Just because the finer aesthetic detail of a watch is unimportant to you, doesn't mean it should be to the OP, or anybody else for that matter. A minor detail to one...

    Reminds me of all that fuss concerning red font on old Subs and SD's, just send em into Rolex and have them swap those crappy old dials over for a nice shiny new one with proper lume etc. It's only...

    Yes, seems quite odd when viewed in isolation, but not so much when you look at what has happened to pretty much all vintage and certain newish pre-owned watches over the last 2-3 years, particularly...

    How much is too much for a GS? Well, as already alluded to, that's very much down to personal circumstances. I doubt Mark Zuckerberg would lose much sleep over paying 20K for a GS, whereas I most...
