One last attempt to get this thread closed......(kidding, but doesn't everythin that mentions Nazis get shut down?):

Hitler's gold watch set to fetch $4MM+ at auction

Creepy as heck and if I was Jaeger-LeCoultre I would be a little concerned....

I think I'd prefer Paul Newman's Daytona.

Maybe bringing this thread back on course…. I am looking for an AD in the Northeast who has a Tudor Black Bay 58 in blue if anyone has any leads outside of grey market?

Any AD should be able to get you a blue 58 nowadays. Just call the ADs closest to you. I see them in stores regularly.

@Nine, the Black Bay second hand market seems to also be "soft" right now as well. I've been tempted by the OG BB58 lately!

ah good to hear…. whenever i look online the second hand market seems to have prices in line with new (from grey market). any suggestions for best second hand resources (re tudor 58)? thanks!

My brother just bought a Blue Black Bay by calling around the AD’s. They don’t seem too hard to find.

Watchuseek and chrono24 are where I casually browse. It looks like the delta between used and new is about $500 (so between $3000 and $3500. I would probably spend the extra $500 and get a brand new piece--although you'll never get the 30 minutes it takes to unwrap the new watch back . Let your fingers do the walking! (I think that's a euphemism for calling around different AD's)

if there is one thing this thread has taught me about Paceline, it's that I'm but a scrub when it comes to income bracket.. at least based on all the watch talk!

Where do people get watches serviced, not manufacturer? My wife has 1960's Patek that needs a stem, not working. Itsy bitsy movement in it.

In Boston/Northeast/Ri would be ideal.
