Hi Everyone,

I have a vintage Rolex Datejust, white dial, two-tone, jubilee with fluted bezel, with box and papers in my collection. The watch is in excellent condition, as it is rarely worn, which is the reason why I am considering selling it. I'd rather put the money into something else to add to my collection that I wear more frequently. But, I am hesitant to sell it for the offers I've received lately. They are too low in my opinion. I've been told the vintage Rolex market is soft now. No one has a crystal ball, but what opinion does everyone have on the vintage Rolex market? Do you see it coming back in the near future, or going down even further?

Thanks!

Hi, guys!

I'm looking to buy a Seamaster Bond (first gen, ref. 2531.80, but with luminova instead of tritium). Got 2 questions for you:

1. I know many of them suffer discoloration on the tip of the seconds hand. Do you have an idea of the cost of having the seconds hand replaced for a new one from Omega?
2. Considering I live in Europe, where would you look for that watch besides Chrono24? Any seller/website recommendations?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get your opinion on the Rolex Explorer II 40mm Polar "Chicchi Di Mais" dial Ref. 16570. I believe "Chicchi Di Mais" means Kernels/Grains of Corn in Italian which is in reference to the heavy yellow patina on the hour markers. These watches in good condition usually go for over $10,000+. Do you think they are worth the price or is it just hype?

Couldn’t find anywhere on the site what the sales tax policy is. Would appreciate seeing this policy listed in the faq section. Thanks.

Is it me, am I imagining ghis or someone else noticed that the bracelet on Bulgari octa finisimo is very sharp at the edges and not as well made as let's say Cartier or even GP? Love the watch but tried in store and I can't imagining wearing it for any length of time.
