WHY THIS WATCH The Rolex Explorer was Rolex’s first sports watch, when it got introduced way back in 1953. This watch was marketed and produced to be a rugged adventure watch. This particular model, the 214270, was introduced at Basel-World in 2010. This was a major release as Rolex made some very big changes to the Explorer. Rolex upped the case size to 39mm, introduced the solid-link 904L steel bracelet, and updated the movement with the introduction of the Calibre 3132 movement.
 
The watch was very controversial when it was released for a few reasons. First, not everyone was happy with upgraded size to 39mm. Additionally, there was the lack of lume on the 3, 6, and 9 markers. For some reason Rolex decided to replace the lume filled markers with solid white gold markers instead. Many found this to be unacceptable as this is a sports watch after all, and lume is a must. Additionally, the Mercedes hands seemed too short for the dial of the now larger 39mm case. This dial configuration was to be called the Mark 1 dial (or Mark I, or “Blackout”), and is now considered the less desirable version of the 39mm explorer.
 
In 2016, Rolex actually listened to collectors and made some revisions to the 39mm explorer. The hands were widened and lengthened to match the profile the new bigger dial. Most importantly, Rolex brought back the lume-filled indices at 3,6, and 9. This dial configuration is called the Mark 2 (or Mark ii) dial and is considered the more desirable dial configuration.

THE LITTLE DETAILS This watch and all it’s components are guaranteed to be 100% Genuine Rolex. This watch was purchased from an Authorized Rolex Dealer in 2020 and comes Box, Warranty Booklet, and Warranty Card. The watch comes with all 13 links. This watch is still under FACTORY ROLEX WARRANTY for 5 years from Jan 2020.
 
The watch is in Near Mint condition, with minor wear that was difficult to photograph, mostly on the deployment clasp, overall around 93-95%.

WHY THIS WATCH

History of the Portuguese 

 

The IWC Portuguese line was created in the 1930's when two Portuguese wholesalers approached IWC to commission a large wristwatch that carried the precision of a pocket watch. The 43mm reference IWC 325 was created as a result. Although this reference was not a big seller for IWC at the time, it gained a cult-like following decades later. It also paved the way for the IWC's Portuguese lineup. The modern Portuguese line pays homage to the original reference 325, with a range of watches that are around 41mm in diameter with a focus on big, accurate movements.

 

 In 1998 IWC launched the IWC Portuguese Chronograph, reference 3714. With it's perfect proportions, and a simple yet elegant dial layout, this reference would soon become IWC's high selling and most popular watch. In 2020, IWC released the reference 3716 which was a major update to the Portuguese Chronograph. Most notably, the reference 3716 was powered by IWC's in-house chronograph movement. 

 

A formula that works 

 

Outside of the new In-House movement, IWC didn't change much when it introduced this new reference, and that is a smart decision in our opinion. The design and engineering elements that made this watch so beloved were not changed. Namely, the case of this watch is very compact, at 41mm and 13mm in height. The dial is simple, but very elegant and extremely legible. This is a watch that can be worn by almost anyone and for any occasion. 

 

In House Calibre 69355

  

The biggest change to the Portuguese Chronograph is the introduction of the in-house movement, reference 69355. This movement is far superior to the Valjoux 7750 in the older model. It's a column wheel chronograph, meaning it's smoother upon activation. Also the power reserve is up a few hours to 46. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

This watch was always been one of my favorite references, not just from IWC but from any brand. It's just the perfect size for my average 6.5 inch wrist. I can't stop staring at those Arabic numerals. There's something just so special about this dial. I would venture to say this is the most beautiful and readable dial of all time. I find that this watch dresses down pretty well with the brown suede strap. 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS This watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized IWC Dealer, and has a full IWC WARRANTY UNTIL 2030. It comes with the full set of box, and papers, including IWC Warranty card with matching serial number. This watch was only worn a dozen times, and is in overall Near Mint Condition with only very minor wear. This watch retails for $19,200.

WHY THIS WATCH

Introduced in 2016

 

The Datejust 41 was introduced at Baseworld in 2016. It replaced the Datejust II, and made some slight, but important improvements to Rolex's Datejust line. The Datejust 41 is an overall leaner watch, with a slimmer case thickness and lugs. Rolex also introduced the watch with the 3235 movement, which is a fantastic automatic calibre (more on that below). 

 

The Perfect Watch for any Occassion 

 

The refinements made to the Datejust 41 are only apparent when you put this watch on your wrist. It's definitely slimmer, and slightly lighter, and overall just wears better than It's predecessor. What has not changed is how versatile the Rolex Datejust is. This watch is the perfect every day watch. It's stands out just enough for office wear, and is not too big for most wrists. 

 

In House Calibre 3235 

 

Rolex's Calibre 3235 is an in-house automatic movement that was originally announced at Baselworld 2017. 14 patents were made to protect the technology around this movement including a Paramagnetic Oscillator with new balance staff that offers enhanced resistance to magnetism. Rolex claims the new caliber 3235 is two times more precise than an officially certified chronometer with an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day “after casing”

  

Wrist Impressions

 

I love how the Blue dial kicks this under-the-radar watch up a notch. I can wear this watch with any attire and it looks good. It fits perfectly on my 6.5 inch wrist. Great everyday piece. 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized Rolex Dealer. The watch is Brand New and is under Rolex's FULL WARRANTY. The watch comes with the full set of Box, Manuals, and Warranty Card.

Watch was purchased in 2004 from an authorized dealer, and is complete, with Box and Papers including Chronometer Certificate and Warranty paper with matching serial number. 

 

The watch was worn very sparingly, and is overall around 90-93% condition. Only some very light wear on the case and bracelet, no deep gashes or scratches (see pictures). The watch is mechanically flawless with the movement keeping excellent time, and the chronograph resetting to zero. This watch comes with enough links for an 8 inch wrist. More links available upon request.

WHY THIS WATCH

A Seamaster with a Twist

 

The Omega Seamaster needs no introduction, as it's one of the most recognizable watches in production. This particular reference, the 2552.80.00 adds some really nice twists for those collectors looking for a Seamaster that stands out.

 

This Seamaster is 36mm, making it very versatile and comfortable on almost any wrist. What distinguishes this watch the most, is the polished, bezel - most Seamasters have a blue aluminum bezel. The dial on this watch is a deep blue, laser engraved wave dial. The case carries the classic curves and helium escape valve that the Seamaster is known for. 

 

Calibre 1120

 

Omega equipped this watch with a Calibre 1120, which is a modified ETA 2892-A2. The 1120 was the predecessor to the Omega Calibre 2500, which was the first Co-Axial movement. Don't knock this movement for being based on an ETA. The 2892 is a tried and true workhorse that has proven to be a reliable calibre. Also, this is a chronometer rated movement, so Omega did put some work into this movement to ensure it's accurate. Also notable - this watch movement has a hacking movement, meaning the seconds hand stops when the crown is pulled out, enabling the user to set the exact time.  Co-axials are great, but the fact that this watch isn't one, will make it easier down the road if you ever need a repair. Co-axials are notoriously hard to service by an independent shop. You'll love this simple, ETA based movement when/if the time comes for a repair. 

 

 

Wrist Impressions

 

I would say this watch wears true to it's 36mm size, which is great for my average wrists. I love the deep blue wave dial. The dial is hyper legible, with the hands and lume points making it very easy to read time at a glance despite its smaller size. The shiny bezel is stand-out and I love how they decided to paint the numerals on the bezel blue, rather than black. The bracelet is pretty standard, but you'll never hear me complain about it's ergonomics - this bracelet is really comfortable. I can wear this watch anywhere. It's at home at work, and equally at home on my next adventure. 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

 

This watch received a full service by Omega in September of 2021. This watch is in superb condition, I would give it a 90%. Most of the wear is on the bezel, which has some scratches from normal use (see pics). The sides of the case are clean. The crystal is free from any wear. The watch is keeping excellent time. The date function works perfectly, switching the date at midnight.

WHY THIS WATCH

A True Novelty 

 

First introduced in 2012, the Rolex SkyDweller celebrates it's first decade in 2022. Usually, I'd go into the history of the watch, but for this watch, that's not happening as this watch was a true novelty for Rolex. The SkyDweller was designed from the ground up, without any history to draw upon, something which is very rare for Rolex. 

 

A Brand New Calibre: Calibre 9001 

 

The Calibre 9001 was created specifically for this watch. The 9001 is an automatic, COSC certified, movement with a 72 hour Power Reserve. Rolex fitted the 9001 with it's famous Parachrom hairspring, which has antimagnetic qualities, and is resistant to temperature fluctuations. What's more interesting however, is how this movement functions seamlessly with the rotating bezel, which I'll expand upon shortly. 

 

 

The Ultimate Traveler's Watch

 

Unlike it's cousin the GMT, the SkyDweller was built for Travelers, not pilots. This watch makes setting the local and travel time seamless. For the Rolex Skydweller, you actually use the beautiful 18k bezel, which rotates into 3 positions to set the month, date, travel time, and local time. Rotating the bezel to the farthest left position, allows you the set the travel time via the crown. One more rotation of the bezel to the right, allows you to set the local time via the hour hand. Finally, the last rotation to the right allows you to set the month (via the red marker on the hour hand) and the date. 

In addition to having a GMT function, this watch has an Annual Calendar function, which accounts for the different number of days (30/31) in the different months. This is done by moving the red hour marker to the appropriate month and setting the date. Thats all you have to do. The movement will account for the correct number of days in the current month. Note that this excludes Leap Years, when February has 29 days, for which you'll need a perpetual calendar to account for. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

Although this watch is large and thick on paper (42mm diameter and 14mm thick), it's only 50.5mm lug to lug, so it's fitting pretty nicely on my average 6.5 inch wrist. I just love playing around the bezel setting. It makes me want to book a flight just so I can set the timezones. The Annual Calendar is truly useful. I really like this watch in the Blue Dial, but the price is unapproachable, so the black dial on this one is the next best thing if you want a darker toned dial. The oyster bracelet is the way to go here, as I think the Jubilee is not appropriate for such a thick and large watch. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is a one-owner watch that was Purchased from an Authorized Rolex Dealer in 2021. The watch comes with Box and Papers, including warranty card from 2021. This watch is still under ROLEX WARRANTY for 5 years from 2021. 

The watch is in Near Mint Pre-Owned Condition with only minor wear on the case and bracelet. I would say the watch is around 95%. There are no dents or deep scratches on the case or bracelet. The Crystal is free from scratches. The watch is mechanically sound, with the bezel clicking into each setting position properly and the watch keeping excellent time.

WHY THIS WATCH

Something Bold 

 

The Avenger series was released by Breitling in 2001. The aim of the Avenger line was to release a bolder, more extreme version of the Chronomat. Since its release in 2001, the Avenger line has provided an option for those collectors looking for a muscular case, with bold and robust styling. True to form, the Avenger carries inside it Breitling's decades old aviation tradition.  

 

3 Timezones!

 

There's a few things that set this Avenger apart from the pack. The first, is that this is truly a travelers watch, with a useful 24 Hour 2nd Timezone hand that is easily adjusted through a turn of the crown. A third Timezone is easy to set as well, with a bi-directional rotating bezel. 

The other thing I'll mention is the size of the watch. This watch has a great diameter to thickness ratio - surprising, given its 300m water resistance.  It's only 12.2mm thick, which is an oddity given most of the Avenger line is 14-16mm thick. The slimness of the case makes this avenger very wearable for long travels. The diameter is 43mm, so you won't forget it's on your wrist. 

 

Wrist Impressions

 

This watch fits way different than the big clunky Avenger watches I'm used to. This is way slimmer than what I'm used to for a Breilting. The 2nd Timezone hand is so easy to set, with one pull of the crown. The rest of it is classic Breitling, including the Bracelet, Bezel, and that signature non-slip crown. I can see myself traveling a lot with this watch. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is guaranteed 100% Authentic Breitling. Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breitling Dealer in 2017 and was worn sparingly. .

The case is showing only very light wear, around 93%-95%. The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time. The watch comes with the Outer White Box, Inner Breitling Box, Manuals, Tag, and Warranty Card.

WHY THIS WATCH

Inspiration from the Past

 

In the 1950's diving was starting to become a more popular sport around the world. It was at this time in 1957 that Breitling released the SuperOcean Chronograph, reference 807. The reference 807 was designed for divers who needed a hearty and reliable watch for their underwater explorations. The SuperOcean line was water resistant to 200m, which was huge at the time. They also carried a distinctive style, including triangle shaped hands as well as circular/triangular hour markers. Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph. 

 

Ceramic At Last with a Great Calibre

 

Unlike older SuperOceans, this one replaces the standard (and very scratchable) aluminum bezel with a hearty, scratch proof Ceramic Bezel. 

Inside this beast we have a Breitling In-House Calibre B20, which has a 70 hour power reserve, bi-directional automatic rotor, quickset date, and hacking seconds. The hacking seconds feature is important as it stops the second hand when you pull the crown, enabling you to set the time to the exact second. You'd be surprised at how many modern manufactured movements don't hack! I'll also mention that this movement is Chronometer rated, which is a certification handed to movements that meet strict timing and functional standards. Breilting has really stepped up it's movements in recent years, and has come a long way from the off-the-shelf ETAs of the past. 

 

          Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. Blue strap, Blue dial, Blue bezel, aesthetically this is a divers watch. The Ceramic bezel is okay, even though I have seen better executions, it will do the job and be scratch free. I love these mesh style rubber straps, and I love how Breilting has put a micro-adjust into the deployment. I can get the perfect fit every time. This watch is very legible due to the special hour hand. This watch would make a great daily wearer for someone with big wrists. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is guaranteed 100% Authentic Breitling. Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breitling Dealer in 2018 and was worn sparingly. The watch is still under Breitling Warranty until Mid-2023, all you do have to do is take the electronic warranty card (included) and the watch into Breitling if you have any issues.

The case is showing only very light wear, around 93%-95%. The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time. The Rubber strap was barely worn, almost new. The watch comes with the Outer White Box, Inner Breitling Box, Manuals, Tag, and Warranty Card. Comes on the Rubber Strap with the Factory Breitling Deployment.

WHY THIS WATCH 

Released in 2002 as a homage to the Speedy Pro, the Omega Speedmaster ref. 3551.20 is inspired by the Broad Arrow Speedmasters of the past. The idea behind this Speedy was to make a Speedmaster that had some attributes of the old broad arrow speedmasters, but with some modern twists. With it's laser engraved tachymeter, broad arrow hands, and a case that is identical to the Speedmaster professional, this watch is borrowing a lot from it's past. The creme dial with fire-blued hands is where this watch begins to differentiate itself from the older references. Also, the movement used here is not the manually wound movement we are used to seeing in Speedmasters but instead an automatic Calibre 3303.  

 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is in overall excellent condition with normal wear from normal use. Most of the wear is on the bezel. The sides of the case and the lugs are clean with only very minor wear. The curved sapphire crystal is clean. The chronograph calibre is running strong, keeping good time, and resetting to zero. The factory Omega bracelet is in great condition with minor marks, and will fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist (more links available upon request if you have a bigger wrist). Comes with Box and Papers, as pictured, including original warranty card. Note the box is missing the pillow. Watch is from 2003.

They also carried a distinctive style, including triangle shaped hands as well as circular/triangular hour markers. Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph. 

 

DLC Love

 

This watch is 44mm in diameter with a DLC coated steel case, and limited edition green dial with black eye sub-registers. This watch is big and bold, and isn't shy about showing it. Because the watch comes on a mesh style rubber strap that is extremely comfortable, it's wearable despite being 44mm and over 15mm thick. I'll also mention the Rubber strap comes with a micro-adjust feature on the deployment, assuring the perfect fit as your wrist expands and contracts. 

 

  

Bullet-Proof Calibre

 

In the past, Breitling watches have used off-the-shelf ETA Calibres for most of their movements. In 2009, Breitling announced it's first in-house chronograph movement after 5 years of Research and Development. The B01 is a column-wheel self-winding chronograph with a vertical coupling system which eliminates hand-jumping when the chronograph is activated. The movement also utilizes an index regulating system inside the movement which allows for easy rate adjustment. It's got 70 hours of Power Reserve off of a single barrel. In terms of finishing, this movement is nicely finished but don't expect it to be at the level of a Patek or AP. We've got the standard Cotes De Geneve, Circular Finishing, and diamond-polished bevels. 

 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. The Green Dial has a very nice shimmer to it, especially in direct light. The DLC coating makes this mostly a sporty watch that would be hard to dress up. Working the chronograph, you can really tell the in-house movement was worth it, with stop start and reset of the chronograph on a different level. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is Guaranteed 100% Authentic. Watch is under Breitling Factory Warranty until 2026. Only 250 examples of this watch were made and the watch is sold out everywhere. Watch is in in Near Mint Condition. The Bezel, Case and Strap are all mint condition. The only wear is on the deployment clasp, which has some normal wear (see pictures). This watch comes with the full set of Box and Papers including tag, manuals, and warranty card. Please note, serial numbers are blurred out for pictures only. We only sell watches with the full serial number intact.

WHY THIS WATCH

Cousin of the DateJust

 

Introduced in 1950, the Rolex Date is considered the close cousin of the Rolex Datejust (introduced in 1945). These two models were created 5 years apart, and ran alongs-side one another, sharing major updates to the movements and cases. This particular model, the 150XX series, started in 1980 and introduced some refinements to the Rolex Date Lineup. 

 

Quickset Date and High Beat Calibre

 

This watch features the Rolex 3035 movement which introduced a high-beat frequency of 28,800 vph. Besides being more accurate, a high-beat movement also shows off the signature seconds hands sweep that Rolex is known for. The most important feature of the Rolex 3035 is the Quickset date, which allows the user to set the date via a second position of the crown. 

 

  

Neo-Vintage

 

With it's acrylic crystal, lug holes, and raised gold-peg markers, this watch has a ton of vintage charm. You're still getting Rolex 80's build quality, and the quickset date, so it's just modern enough to not be a hassle on the wrist. 

 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist, this is the perfect uni-sex watch, as watch sizes are coming full circle and both men and women prefer 34-36mm watches. The jubilee bracelet is absolutely the way to go here. It just sits perfectly on the wrist and gives the right amount of contrast. The calibre 3035 just seems bullet-proof, with a still-crisp date change click. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Serial number on the lugs places this watch from 1981. The watch, including the factory Champagne, Gold Peg dial and crown is all authentic Rolex parts. The watch is in overall good condition, with wear all around, consistent with a 20+ year old watch. Scratches on the case mostly, see pictures. The Jubilee bracelet does have stretch, however this does effect the wearability of the watch. The bracelet will fit a 6.5 inch wrist. Movement is running strong, was serviced 3 years ago, is keeping excellent time, and is free from any mechanical issues. The crystal has been buffed and is clean. The watch does not come with box or papers.

WHY THIS WATCH A surprising offering from Fortis, which is known for making sporty chronographs. The Fortis Tycoon Date a refreshingly simple time and date only watch, with a very graceful and elegant design. The anthracite grey dial shows off some beautiful rhodium plated indices.  At 41mm and only 10mm thick, this watch will slip under any cuff. Inside you've got a bulletproof ETA 2892-A2. It's not decorated like a Patek, but it is a reliable workhorse movement that enables this watch to be at a reasonable price-point.
