submariner watches
Ever throw a controller across the room in frustration over a red shell or a failing lap of Rainbow Road? Well, this is the watch for you. Tag Heuer has ingeniously taken the design inspiration from Formula 1 racing watches and infused it with the charm of a beloved childhood racing game.

All told, not broadly collectible but still, it was a whole lot of fun to quietly walk around the multi-room space and try to spot the special stuff amongst ever more hockey-themed detritus. We've just seen a serious auction record set for a vintage Tudor watch – but it didn't happen under a crystal chandelier in some five-star hotel ballroom. No, this extremely rare Tudor ref. 7923 Submariner just sold for $99,999 on Ebay. And the craziest part? It could have easily sold for more. But man, oh man, that dial. While I saw the Aries model, there are twelve Zodiac dials, each with its own hand-guilloché "sign" and its associated constellation, the stars represented by brilliant-cut diamonds.
For a watch of this age and construction, its condition is quite good, indicating decades of either careful ownership or dormancy.

The stainless steel case is in similarly stunning shape, with thick and well-defined lugs. I wore that watch to their birth, and spent the whole morning checking it while we waited on the doctor, and while the kiddos spent a little time in the NICU. After bringing them home, I would frequently lay my Valjoux 7750 in between them and let it tick them to sleep. My wife even stole it out of my watch box and had the case back engraved with the times of their births.

The result is a warm Chocolate fumé dial, a name he coined himself, with a sunburst gradient that shifts in the light. The transparent lacquered logo almost disappears against the surface, leaving red gold indices and hands with Globolight inserts. Here are a few of my major takeaways from last week's announcements. I want this to be a conversation, though. Let me know down in the comments whether you agree or disagree with my takes, or if you think there's a major lesson I've left off. Alright, here we go. The restaurants are next level, Boulle, who has a list of Houston restaurants he shares with friends and clients who visit the city, says. "Some cities are focused on the atmosphere, but Houston is for people who truly care about the quality of the food.
As if on cue, when our kayak guides warned us to stay far from the icebergs, one cracked and flipped over. The combination of sunshine and salt water flowing into the lagoon rapidly melts these giant floating icebergs, some as large as a townhouse and the length of a football field. Two important steps in working with the original calibers 18‴ CHRO were the addition of modern jeweling for the going and chronograph trains, and a careful analysis of the wheels for both trains as well.
