Just when I thought my watch buying was over for the foreseeable future, I have weakened and just clicked to buy one of these (SARB017). Seems I can resist anything except temptation 馃榾

Just got this in over the weekend. Straight from the back of the original owner's drawer in Connecticut, a chapter ring gilt 1016 with a previously unworn expandable rivet with 58 end links and original box from Philippe Beguin of Geneva.

This is swee-ee-ee-eet-t-t-T!!!

WAnt & Crave in full force!

I鈥檝e been looking for one of these for ages, but I just wasn鈥檛 fishing where the fish are! Swiss Made Helmut Sinn Era 103 B SA HD with Tritium Dial (sellers pics as it鈥檚 on the way).



Many thanks to @ar.parask13 for his assistance in its purchase!


That is absolute perfection. Will keep an eye out for more pics of it.

Nathan, I was happy to offer advice but please remember I didn鈥檛 do it as a selfless act of pure kindness! I have first dibs on it!
A wonderful find and can鈥檛 wait to have a look at it in person!

Another one for the project list. Everything seems good and original, but like many of these 6B/159 alloy Omegas it's snapped a lug. They often end up shortened but this one can hopefully get fixed to the original full length. Would really have preferred a recased stainless one but they're harder to find and generally more money. Movement number indicates 1943/44.

Crap. Weak moment in Las Vegas today. Guy at the Rolex AD in Caesar鈥檚 offered up 30 month鈥檚 zero interest. I鈥檝e never considered financing a watch, but for under $300.00 per month, a black dial Explorer II is now haunting my wrist. I just hope my SMP is okay riding home in a Rolex box for a couple of days.

Now, before laughing too hard, it was cheap and I have a donor 7733 if it turns out to be completely shot.
