amazing watches all


the only lasting 2015 purchase for me has been the Tudor Pelagos Blue, it is a beauty but some of you may remember that I was liberated of it by my lady just hours after it arrived… she has worn it everyday since, everyone is happy


happy new year.

I'm looking at 1680 red subs and also in Los Angeles...does Hill St reasonably negotiate from their stated prices?

Not my best 2015 pick up, but my favorite (and the last pick up of 2015).

Purchased from the son of the original owner, who fought in Vietnam. Was won in a poker game and sparingly worn throughout the years. All original with the most amazing patina.

Happy New Year!



My second favorite (passed onto a deserving collector) was this unpolished and all original early generation YG 1680. Best example I have seen in the flesh.

Bought this exact watch for the second time. Lucky timing.

Father gave me his first Rolex for my 40th.

Both picks very special

Oh ya. My watch dealer sold me a nice vintage seiko. Sorry. Three pick ups.

Let's see your favorite 2015 pick up.......

Here's mine......A 5.3 million 5513, with a mk1 maxi dial. I had been trying to separate the previous owner from this watch for a long time and in 2015 it entered my stable.

A happy and healthy new year to you all
Looks great congrats!

For vintage Rolex, a 6238

Overall, however, a wonderful woman I met. Though that has led to the "loss" of my DJ! :thumbs:
