I've heard of it. Watchfinder is a great one for used watches, it surfs a bunch of sites for you and helps you find deals

For a short time I was a moderator on a Vintage Rolex forum. I got into vintage Rolex big time but now just wear a GMTII-C (for ceramic bezel). This is the last Rolex I sold. It was a 6263 from 1969. Just an FYI but they can be 100% correct if adjusted properly and often. The micro-stellar adjustment makes that possible even on older models. Other brands normally will not take a beating like a Rolex. The movements are like tanks. Also beware, sharks are everywhere when it comes to fakes. If anyone is ever interested I can steer people to honest dealers.

Beautiful blue dialed Tudor. I had a black dialed one, complete package with the original boxes, receipt, do-dads, etc. The black paint was defective and bubbled. So they did not make the black ones long before the blue dials replaced them.I'll start off with the one I have been wearing the last couple days. 1978 Tudor Blue Snowflake ref. 94110.

That's really cool stuff parsaver. May take you up on that someday.For a short time I was a moderator on a Vintage Rolex forum.

Out of curiosity, what does a decent older Rolex start at?

Awesome!
Depends on the model. Vintage Datejusts can be had for 3k.

Not as fancy as a bunch of the watches in here but my father in law did well for my birthday. Been wanting an analog g-shock for a knock around watch.
I like that!

I received a Tag Heuer Aquaracer for my birthday 7 years ago and have worn it just about every day since. It's been a great watch, but Is showing wear from the beating I've put on it. Any idea on where is best to get it restored a bit, and how much it would cost?

I hear these guys do real good work! I plan to use them when the time comes to service my Explorer.

^^^^ yeah I've seen that place recommended for Tag Heuer as well.
I've had one of their fake Rolex "Aquaracer's" for 10 years now and it's pretty beat up too and I had to have the pin repaired a few years ago but haven't gotten around to getting the sapphire replaced due to a scratch - so it needs to go there soon. I really don't want to spend too much on a watch (nor do I want to buy a new one) as I'm rough on them.

This is a good watch, I wore it for several years as an everyday watch. Just had it refurbished and use it for traveling

Just added this to my collection the other day. Might need to get another Orbita winder for my Omega now.
Apple? What band is that? Nice looking combo.

yeah, it's been great and is still timely since it had that larger "modern size" compared to the Rolex submariners available back then. For the under $1500 budget it's still a slam dunk and I wouldn't feel like jumping off a bridge if something happened to it. She could use a service though.

Here's my pair. Citizen purpetual chronograph and a Bulova Marine Heritage mechanical. Someday I'll have a Zenith El Premiro 1969 open..... someday.

I love watches, but I'm nowhere in the ballpark for what some of y'all are paying... I think the most expensive watch I have cost me $100... My favorite watch I have is an Invicta white face and silver bracelet. I've had it around 8 or 9 years and have only had to replace the battery periodically. It was $75 at Sam's Club!
