Finding an original Geophysic is quite the challenge in today's market, seeing as only 1,068 examples of this variant were ever produced.

Even with the recent trend, some say vintage Piaget still represents a decent value. replica montblanc watches When it came to the Première line, neon-colored leather takes the place of gems interwoven through the brand's signature chain in steel treated with black ADLC. The star is the triple-row limited edition of 555 pieces that covers all the colors in one piece.

Obscure pieces rule this week's roost, with picks like a Tudor Submariner with U.S. Navy provenance and a late-model Ranchero many remain unaware of. The watch follows in the footsteps of other sports-related collaborations from Tudor in the past few months and years, with Visa Cash App RB Formula 1 watches, a chronograph for the Swiss National Championship hockey team, and even a black ceramic Black Bay with the Alinghi Red Bull logo on the dial.
