HQ Milton 1675

I don’t think Jacek is implying his service papers are worth anything. He doesn’t service every watch that comes in. He is operating a diff business model compared to the way HQ used to operate a few years ago. There are a lot of smaller outfits that catch and release mostly and only service watches that either need it prior to selling and the ones that servicing/recutting will be profitable. People are starting to prefer watches “as found” I believe. I see many more watches being sold with what has to be the original crystals and all. Vs a place like bobs watches, they service everything, dr it all up for sale. I believe he is just saying “this watch was just serviced, here is the work done” |

Endlinks look to be 19mm on a 20mm lug width.
Fuchsia bezels seem to be used as a basis for addition of a substantial premium these days. I don't understand why that should be so, but sellers seem to think that is the price.

I've noticed that too. Seems to be the go-to word, for sure.

True at HQ Milton and Tropical Watch. After looking at hundreds of watches on these sites, I've learned that "excellent" generally refers to a lack of deep scratches and dings. The crown guards can be polished down to nubs, but if there are no bad scratches, the case is "excellent."
