A '70s fake Rolex Day Date, An Omega R17.8 Tank, And A Tissot Made For The Horological Institute Of America

It's been an especially good week of watch finds, with a host of delighting surprises and revelations. The way I see it, the beauty of the hunt is the knowledge which can be gained from it, and if you're interested in learning a thing or two, I'd suggest you keep reading. From a Vacheron Constantin cased like you've never seen before, to a Rolex with Japanese roots, we've got the higher end covered. Towards the middle, there's a Valjoux 72-powered chronograph by Bovet, and with an eye for accessibility, we've included a stunning Omega tank and Tissot with a twist of American horological history. In that fake rolex I ran out of witty ways to segue into the column long ago, let's just kick off the nerd-out fest. During my daily scours of the interwebs for all things vintage watch related, I generally know in rough terms what I'm going to encounter. There's usually a host of Valjoux 72 chronographs, some funky divers, the occasional early com

What do you think of luxury watches?  Are they in or out?  I suppose some of it depends on your social circle and age group.  If you’re a middle aged executive you’ll have a different watch environment than say a young surfer. This is a great opinion piece about the matter from the 80’s, when luxury watches really started to take off. “I didn’t know what to expect when I first wore my $2 wristwatch to the office. A little fake rolex ribbing, perhaps, about how clunky it looked. Or maybe a cutting comment about its origins. I was ready. “Yeah,” I’d say, “I got it on the street from a vendor, but it tells time and”–the clincher–“it only cost $2.” What I wasn’t prepared for was the silence. And those occasional sidelong glances. We are living in watch-proud times. Even I will admit that at first I had misgivings about a timepiece costing roughly as much as a Big Mac. What does it say about the value you place on time, one of the underpinnings of the modern world, when somehow it

The Panerai Submersible 42mm fake rolex

You might have noticed coming out of SIHH that there were quite a few new Submersible models at Panerai. These included a series of limited editions whose purchase will net their buyers once-in-a-lifetime travel and exploration experiences with world-famous explorers and organizations like Panerai ambassador Mike Horn and the Italian Marina Militare. While the below, non-limited watches may not come with exotic experiences, they represent a great look and size for the Submersible range. The dive watch that we have here today is the most basic of all the new Submersibles presented this year. It's the Panerai Submersible 42mm, which takes its place as Panerai's flagship tool watch for diving. It's interesting to note that this year also saw the Submersible line of dive watches broken off from the larger Luminor collection. The Submersible aesthetic is familiar – a unidirectionally rotating bezel is still paired with a cushion case and a Luminor-style crown guard. Thes
