I use one of these. Tried all sorts of loupes and desk lamp with magnifiers but the headband works best

I suggest a demagnetizer as well in case your tools get magnetized.

How is the market for a PM Rolex Daytona these days?

Is it possible to get one from the local AD with no prior purchase history or is that still a dream?

Daytona still bad, sub is better than pandemic, dj is pretty easy now *note im only taking about in steel, if you wanted a platinum daytona with diamonds and shit that's still easy as hell, walk in and get it, or even a two tone sub, tahts pretty easy*

no prior purchase history = lawl for sub and daytona. maybe a DJ if you suck enough boutique cock by showing how desperate you are and you'll take anything they have in stock

explorer should be easier to get than DJ. Milgauss too.

All these are easier to grab than the traditional rollies

Just keep in contact with your Sales associate. Remind them you are still looking and give them a holler once in a while. Its usually the squeaky wheel that gets the 10k watch

I understand the Milgauss is quite difficult to get due to its popularity exploding during COVID and it being very limited in production numbers. Prior to that, you couldn't give any away.

Milgauss was discontinued, was it not?

Speaking of, I really like this old pic from the 50's Nobel Institute, where scientists had to hang their watches outside the lab where heavy magnetic fields were generated. Don't have to do this if you own a Milgauss! Check out that dude's Bund strap



The sign says "Hang your watch here - when the light is on, the magnet is on!"

I think this is the first Milgauss reference, based on the Submariner with faraday cage and other features to lower the effect of magnetic fields



A watch restoration channel I follow recently restored one that was in that 2013 Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco

Very cool restoration... at the last minute.. seeing it with a test.. reminded me when I paid for my dad to get this watch "re-oiled" as it stopped working.
1) Giving it being a 30-40 yr old watch, the last time it was done was when we dropped it off in Swizerland back 1997. They mailed us a letter asking for more money... wtf eh.
But all in all, it was totally repolished. (20 yr old watch at that time)
So .. to be honest, it's so over due as it was it daily beater.

2) 2nd time was 2 yrs ago. It was getting slow, so we go it re-oiled. But after 4 months, it stopped working so we took it back to Monte and they did it again so I was happy at least they didn't charge us. No idea what happened.

Oh yeah, you're right. Looks like the Milgauss is no longer being produced.

I’m at the YVR duty free this morning and I was hoping they have a rail master but no such luck. Prices all shot up across the board.





Certain watches like a deville with diamonds they can do 40% off. But msrp for that one is 150k so moot anyways.

Popular models like speed master and sea master they can do 200-500 bucks off.

Guess I'm sticking with my OG Brosnan Bond quartz Seamaster instead of getting a co-axial.
