Curious what others feel about when you feel it's time to move on from a watch. I suspect some sell to fund a new watch, the piece holds no thrill anymore, doesn't fit well, doesn't meet expectations, etc.

For me, I once sold a classy JLC Master Calendar because the 'ol eyes couldn't enjoy the small complications without readers. I have a few pieces now that don't get wear time and no particular excitement when putting them on. Anyone have a code they go by?

Hello everyone,

Greetings from Croatia. Federico I am long time fan and primarily here to support community and knowledge. I recently bought Corum Admiral A395/04292. NOS box papers still in stickers. For 1600 Euros roughly same in $. Since there is little to no info online what does the community say?

Cheers

So - I tried on an old Franck Muller from the 90's and it wore surprisingly great and looked more interesting than I had expected.

Anyone have an advice for the vintage side of Franck Muller?

Best I can tell the story goes that the early 90's and very early 00's stuff (e.g. before he departed) are the place to start. Might also be that the early stuff was gold and platinum and the brand started to go sideways when they were cranking out stainless cases and lowering quality so maybe stick with WG or platinum (??)

As far as aesthetics, for me it has to be at least mildly complicated. Those are the interesting ones and part of the reason is they push the numbers to the side.

Does anyone have some words of wisdom on these, experience, stories from the 90's, servicing issues to watch out for, what years to focus on before things went sideways, red flags, etc. etc. etc.

Anyone have one or know someone who wants to move something like this? I don't want to spend too much but, on the flip side, want to do it right the first time. Best I can tell if you like the look there are some of these that are under-appreciated.

Hi,

I have a Speedmaster and I wanted a high quality deployant. Any recommendations for good manufactures? Omega sells one for around $350 but it’s taking my AD 2 months to get one.

Found this one on Reddit. Asking $5,500. A 2023. Says pristine. I can see it up close when in NYC. Do you think this is a fair price or $5k more in line? Or... ? Thank you.
