What year is your calatrava? Pls pm me your selling price. h. chang.

corporateangel · « **Reply #126 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:54:37 AM »

Aside from a couple of minor bends in the strap its as perfect as you could ever want. I've blurred the archive extract at the top and bottom.

I haven't worked out the price yet. PM me for my HP number and we can have a chat

Thanks very much for the info. Definitely an extensive collection with very fine pieces. Unfortunately, all I can hope for now is pictures of the likes of the watches you own, but, age is on my side (hopefully) and hopefully, a quality collection will emerge from there. A calatrava is definitely on the list. Timeless Patek. Enjoy your boat and do continue sharing what you can!

Was very taken by the Benzinger pieces. Pricy for sure but you've got to admire the amount of work put in for each piece.

Grieb Benzinger and Bartkowiak are an amazing team, each one is brilliant in their own right but when you put them together they produce magic! I don't know if you saw that their is two models I have featured in Luxurious Magazine, the Blossom Black Tulip and also the Polaris. Another guy that you should look out for is Itay Noy, he keeps winning award after award. Hopefully in the near future he'll produce some gold cased versions of his skeletonised watches with a a couple of extra surprises!

I actually came across Benzinger a while back. That is a fantastic level of detailing there. Ya, I've seen some of the Itay Noy pieces. Unique for sure but haven't had the time to learn more about them yet. I'm still at the phase of looking at the more traditional watchmakers, Rolex et.al. Broadening my knowledge, slowly but surely.

Saw some vintage Rolexes in a shop the other day and those are piquing my interest as well. So much to learn before delving into the vintage world.

It only makes up about 10% of my collection so as much as I dislike the idea - matrimonial harmony comes first!

Other watches in my collection include

An Omega 18k 1950s one off ladies watch
Asprey Chronograph Number 8 18k
Bvlgari Diagono Pro Terra Chrono CH40GGDTA 18k
Patek Philippe ref 1584 (from 1947) 18k
Patek Philippe ref 3944 (from 1986 going up for sale today) 18k
Invicta limited edition chronograph solid 18k gold with exhibition back (1 of 150)
Rado integral prestige maxi men digital/analogue R20456152

there's quite a few others mostly vintage, maybe another 10-15 but this should give some idea. And I should mention that they are ALL originals

[auction links removed - forum mods]

That is an impressive list of time pieces you have there corporateangel, even though it is just 10% of your total collections. Definitely very fine pieces. Do enjoy your boat and please continue to share what you can on your other 90% of your collection whenever you can!

Have a good week ahead.

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments about my watch collection.

I did forget one important watch off my list (probably my favorite)

I used the image off Luxurious Magazine, its not my actual watch but mine is identical.

It's the Omega Golden Seamaster 18k with 18k strap, its not just any old Seamaster but the 168.023 Cal 751 - incredibly rare. I believe the last one sold at Antiquorum went for 12000 Swiss francs about 5 years ago, and there is some dedicated articles about this being one of the rarest Omegas, only five have shown up in 30 years. I'll swap my collection for a a big boat/yacht if anyone is interested!!

Have a good weekend all if I don't post before.

Hellkite · « **Reply #134 on:** November 11, 2011, 05:37:27 AM »

Haha.. nope, no yacht here. Not even a dinghy I could I could swap you for a strap. Haha! Have a great weekend ahead everyone.

Watchnewby · « **Reply #139 on:** November 14, 2011, 05:55:36 AM »

There is UAE Oysterdate.
I wonder if there is a MAlaysia Oysterdate? Or a Singapore Oysterdate?

bleulantern · « **Reply #140 on:** November 16, 2011, 01:13:49 PM »

So far I have not seen any but I'd love to have one if it exist.

I know there was a Malaysia Airlines Pilot Association Rolex, but it is not vintage. Submariner Date I believe.

silverstan · « **Reply #144 on:** November 16, 2011, 06:39:48 PM »

how many years and above consider vintage?

Friday · « **Reply #145 on:** February 01, 2012, 01:08:44 PM »

IIRC 1976 oysterdate

Just the head bracelet gone/lost/

given by my dad. Its not working anymore, broken stem and was told water damaged he (dad) went swimming with it and forgot to screwdown the crown

Keeping it for quite some time edy. Didn't bother to service it as not fancy the two tone and if im right 38/36mm size

? Some more afraid if it'll cost me my leg

to service it.

Maybe i'll send it in oneday. Maybe...

meoramri · « **Reply #146 on:** February 08, 2012, 12:30:29 PM »

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 1601. Manufacture date: 1960. Still in service until today (52 years). Unfortunately, the bracelet is missing.

banqk2 · « **Reply #147 on:** February 28, 2012, 07:38:27 PM »

52 years man this really unbelievable. Rolex watch is ultimate.

With the necessary TLC and prompt service, I believe any mechanical watch can last indefinitely. In this case, this watch has been consistently serviced by Rolex since it was made. In keeping with tradition, if I continue to service the watch when necessary, it should last for another generation.

nazren · « **Reply #149 on:** February 29, 2012, 07:40:36 AM »

Omega Geneve Day-Date circa 1973. Still keeping time. My current daily wear...
