    Just an FYI if you needed anything repaired on your watches.

    We do a lot in house, but for the high grade mechanicals I use my friend and his service center here local to me.
    He is a 21st Century Certified Watchmaker (AWCI) (Will post cert once I get in to the shop)
    Authorized Service Center for:

    Cartier
    DOXA
    Fortis
    Also a Rolex Parts Distributor (sounds trivial, but it's not)

    More to come :)

    Continuously goes back to the Swatch Group for re-certification of all their Calibers.
    Certified to work on Omega Co-Axials too (non warranty)

    Again, Just an FYI :)

    Chris,

    Do you have anyone that can re-coat PVD watches? I have one that needs re-done. Don't know where to look, or trust. It's a watch that's and heirloom, so I am a little hesitant. They would have to tear down the watch to the case and bracelet and strip off the old.

    Chris,

    I was out buying a few new watches today - yeah I have a bit of a problem ;)

    I think you guys at VTC should look at carrying EDOX watches. They seem to be in your sweet spot, great quality and watches range from 700 - up to one they have which is around 15K. But most are in the 1K - 3K range.

    They are swiss made and if I remember the ETA movement - I think Perrelet makes the movements (or is the parent to EDOX).

    I would put them on par or a little above the build quality of Ball Watches - they are more of a sport diver rather than Ball being more contemporary or hybrid type. Edox has a nice 3mm double AR sapphire, 3000 feet water resistant, etc.

    The Ice Shark is pretty wicked and beefy.

    Good looking line up of watches and the average price is around 1.5K for most of their class one line.

    Just a thought...

    I am going to pick up the Class 1 Day/Date model - very cool watch.

    It's GIVEAWAY time!!!

    2 pre-requisites


    1) You need to own the Limited Green Sub LV

    2) Have the largest collection of watches (amongst the other owners of the green sub)

    3) Must be a subscribed member of FerrariChat

    The prize is something you CANNOT buy, it was NEVER for sale.

    It was given to ROLEX Dealers prior to the watch being released.

    This will be a great addition to your Rolex collection, especially the Green one :)
    I will post pics of it once we have some players in the game :D
    Let's GET IT ON!

    Will a cheap black Explorer II count??
    I'll have to go through and count my watches to see how many I've got, if that gives an indication: I'm guessing around 12-15. So????
