Abercrombie & Fitch Heuer:

Under the hood!

Why Pawn Shops Suck.

Maybe im a just a sore loser...

Or...

Maybe I hate the fact that Pawn Shops are using collectors forums and references to sell their merchandise for more.

The truth is this...

The internet is a blessing and curse.

Kudos to whatever dealer beat me to the punch yesterday.

(I HOPE IT'S REAL)

New Addition: Abercrombie & Fitch (Heuer) watch!

Hello Guys,

I've been super busy with a new home purchase and business and have not updated as much as I would like.  I have been on the prowl, however, for exotic and vintage timepieces.

In fact,
I recently attended a great watch GTG in Georgia ! (I will make a post soon on this).
In fact on the way back from the airport from this event, I stopped at a Flea Market and found this vintage Heuer (Valjoux 72) watch w/ Abercrombie & Fitch dial!

"New" AP on the way!

Alright Swiss Monsters,

"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

In fact, just to prove it. 

Here's a new addition on its way to me:

It seems that in my old age (27 years old) I have become quite fond of the former me. So much so, I have decided to repeat the purchase of an AP. While, I love AP I would be dishonet to say the service department was amongst my favorite. In short, after a few issues with a few APs I sold my humble collection and pursued other interest.

Round Two: Sometimes one must try something again (Enter Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 142790)

Below my former Audemars Piguet ref: 142790

I should receiver my AP within a few days and will do a full report on it. I won't spoil the surprise but this AP is a special one!

&

I will leave you all with this:

Rolex USA Sues Melrose.com For Selling Counterfeit Watches: Further Proof You Do Not Want To Mess With Rolex

 

 

Swiss Monster Commentary:

This is pretty crazy...

I'm guessing Rolex has received one too many counterfeit/mix parts watches into the RSC (Rolex Service Center) and have decided to take action. I'm guessing Melrose is the first of many.

New Video Review: Coming Soon.

Hello Swiss Monsters.

I have a new video review that I will be posting Friday. It will feature my new "Eddy The Vintager" Bracelet. The video will also detail a few upcoming things to expect from the Swiss Monster.  I realize, I have not been posting as much as I did in the past. It's been business as usual and it has taken me from TheSwissMonster.com

In any event, more reviews and post coming soon.

"Stealth-Wealth" The Perfect Rolex Datejust

I think I've expressed before I am not a DateJust fan. While, I appreciate "what's under the hood" . The Datejust is a watch that I see daily.
I am offered several everyother day. So, I fear, it has lost it's charm.
However, even a self proclaimed  Datejust-Hater like myself has a soft spot for some models. Afterall beauty is beauty. The example below is dazzling! It is the perfect Datejust in my opinion!
This DJ is circa 2005 and features a satin finished bracelet (16200 was the last to feature satin oyster without high-polished center links) and for a little bit of panache a high polished smooth bezel!
