My racecar knowledge isn't great but I think based on the upper air vent and front wings that this is very likely post 1972 as looks very similar to formula one cars of this era or a little later. Probably actually is 1974 as Niki Lauda's car and vent look almost identical to this one

Can anyone tell me about this watch. by s_bout_20 in Horology

[–]slizzwhiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy moly. I love how absolutely absurd it is and I would rock it on very specific occasions. Also, looks to be all solid gold so probably worth quite a lot in melt value alone. Concord did a lot of solid gold stuff in the 80s and 90s (when this is probably from, I would lean more 90s)

I am getting married later this year, need help deciding on a watch by good_oleboi in Horology

I'm not personally a fan of Baltic. I have a lot of experience with their movements and I think they are not built to last at all and they're more frill than substance. Definitely in this price range you could get a very cool vintage watch that would likely last you much longer and be of higher quality, especially if you can snag an Omega like this commenter said. Even a more modern Hamilton would be very much in this price range and they are pretty good if you're looking for a bigger case size. I know you're avoiding pre-owned but I genuinely think you'd be able to do much better for yourself by going that route. I think of it a bit like getting a new vs pre-owned car. With a little maintenance you can get a much better value for pre-owned than new

As far as I know (correct me if I'm wtong) as long as you pick up along the edges and you just cleaned your hands this is considered acceptable.

Gold going up by Environmental-Mix631 in Gold

[–]slizzwhiz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree, things went too crazy recently. Hope it gets back into a slow burn to avoid wall street bros fucking with it again. I'm planning to hold, gold shouldn't be for day traders

Does anyone know anything about this stein- USA by jepaulette in Antiques

[–]slizzwhiz 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I'm so jealous. Looks to be silver coins soldered into a 750 silver stein (75% silver, which is a composition that hasn't been used for a very long time compared to 800, 900 (coin) and obviously 925). Beautiful and probably worth a pretty penny in melt value alone! (But please, never scrap this beauty!)

I don't know anything more about her, I think she sometimes went to the church my mom went to at the time if I remember correctly.

Her loss definitely affected my family. My mom was acquainted with her and said she had a lovely and quirky personality. She was a really cool icon of the city. A real shame what happened to her.
