Enjoying the Sapphire Beach for another day guys...

That's a pretty cool watch AT!

New to me 7020/0 Tudor Date-Day Serial number dates this piece to 1969. Beautiful dial. Aged to almost a lilac/lavender color. Appears much "bluer" in photos. Dial is in amazing shape. I can't find a blemish. Any scratches noted in the pictures below are scratches in the acrylic crystal. https://i.i...

Update on the state of the Rolex and Tudor Collection. .. Picked up this Tudor yesterday. https://i.imgur.com/ntz4Dch.jpg Today, my watchmaker just sent me a picture of the NOS crown I supplied him to use in the Oyster Lipton's service. (I forgot I had it. . .) https://i.imgur.com/mlfdlKj.jpg

Fantastic footage. Thanks for sharing. What the heck happened to that guy's car? Crazy. Cool that you caught it on camera.

Looks good, but a photo of you in a tighter Gary costume would have better met expectations.

Have to agree with you here.

I had something adjacent to this some time ago and really enjoyed it and that blue looks great!

Awesome! We have very similar taste!

Tudor 7020/0. I really wanted the blue dial, the dials on these, as many 70's Tudor dials in oyster cases, are hard to find in good shape. It is a rarer reference with a dive bezel. It is literally the mullet of watches. All business with day and date functions in the board room and still likes to p...

I've had a couple of magnetized watches. One was my black Hydronaut. I wore it on a 500 mile motorcycle ride and it was running crazy fast when I made it home. Another was a NOS ladies Hamilton I picked up. My watchmaker put them on his demagnitizer and both were perfectly fine and keeping correct t...
