My son’s girlfriend’s dad collects Heuer watches. Only classics, latest are 1970s I think. He has over 500. I don’t wear a watch at all, but met this chap Itay Noy in his shop and almost bought one.

Wait… what? For a second there I thought you said 500.
Apparently so, including strap variations etc. He’s been collecting for a long time.
Gorgeous. There are some videos, produced by Rolex, that describe the manufacturing process. Worth watch–ing. They are one of the few, if the only who make everything.
Thanks. I did watch them… For a couple days (lol). They make their own gold, the body is milled from a single piece of 904L. They have their own chemists, gemologists etc. Kinda why I wanted to own one in my lifetime. Many are too much $ or too much bling. There are still plenty you can get cheaper than a good pre-amp…
I have a 2016 Explorer. Good watch!
Very nice- quintessential Rolex to many. Really hard to find at the moment too.
What’s the entry point for a “cool” watch but subtle? Where do you look for a legitimate dealer?
That’s a very long conversation. My son is my “expert” and I’d be happy to get his guidance.
He wears some beautiful mechanical military issue watches that cost well under $1K.
I’ll get a photo for you.
I’d appreciate that!
Alan Furman & Company has a great selection of watches and very good prices. They come highly recommended from the Rolex forum. They are located in Rockville, MD. They have a website as well.
All that I could ever want on my wrist, plus the peace of mind of reliability and near indestructibilty, with a dash of exclusivity and relaxed attitude.
Absolutely killer piece!
I became a watch snob about 5-6 years ago… I guess I have always been a sucker for finely-crafted mechanical things, but until then had mainly thought of watches as jewelry instead of brilliantly-engineered and manufactured mechanical coolness. Currently own a Speedmaster and a JLC Master Geographic. My wife and I have had nothing but excellent experiences buying from Govberg in Philadelphia - highly recommended!
That “O” looks hand written…still work?
