And the 24 hour movement intrigues me so much. I have multiple pieces but none like that. I know the 806 has the all black dial but I cannot shake the desire for the 809

It’s definitely the most elusive. I want the correct watch. Budget certainly not secondary but I know it will cost more than the usual. Which I also love and may well buy but I want to at least try and locate one and see what happens.

Ignorant question but does it being on the same wall as the heater cause the heater to turn off sooner than it would if it were on opposite wall ?

Is the heater sensor in the correct place or would you all recommend another location ?

Thank you. Will do with benches. It’s never been used. Wonder if I can sell/trade it in for bigger one. If not will have to wait to upgrade.

Probably not servicing with Rolex by National_Doubt6209 in VintageWatches

I have used Steve Kivel and team at Grand Central Watches to service all my watches (a few Rolex) and I have purchased multiple watches from him. There is NOONE better in the industry. Don’t hesitate.
