📖THE LITTLE DETAILS
💡WHY THIS WATCH
The Rolex Submariner 5513, produced from 1962 until 1989, is a classic and highly sought-after model within the Submariner series, known for its long production run and its role in cementing the Submariner's status as an iconic diver's watch. What makes the 5513 special is its no-date dial, which purists often prefer for its clean, balanced appearance that closely adheres to the original Submariner design ethos. The 5513 features a 40mm case with a domed acrylic crystal and is powered by the reliable automatic Calibers 1520 or 1530, depending on the production year. This model is distinguished by its matte black dial with tritium luminous markers, which over time develop a unique patina that collectors highly value. Notably, the 5513 was one of the first Submariners to utilize a unidirectional rotating bezel, enhancing its functionality as a dive watch. The Rolex Submariner 5513's enduring appeal lies in its combination of simplicity, historical significance, and robust performance, making it a cornerstone piece for vintage Rolex collectors.

WHY THIS WATCH
Known by some as the perfect, everyday wristwatch, the Rolex Datejust, introduced in 1945, revolutionized wristwatches with its automatically changing date function. As Rolex's flagship model, it showcases the brand's innovation and elegance. The Datejust's Oyster case, waterproof and robust, houses the perpetual self-winding movement. Renowned for its versatility, the timepiece remains a symbol of prestige and timeless style.
To some, the 16XX Datejust is the quintessential vintage Datejust. The 16XX was introduced in 1959, with the introduction of the calibre 1560/1570, and ran for a staggering 20+ years, until the seventies. These watches are characterized by the warm acrylic crystal and "pie-pan" "stepped" or "sloped" dial. This nickname comes from the resemblance of the dial to an upside-down pie pan. This gives the dials of these references a very 3-dimensional look. Since radium was banned in 1963, you'll actually see radium dials with dagger hands-on early models, and tritium on models post-1963. The 16xx has become a favorite of vintage collectors due to its special pie-pan dial, warm acrylic crystal, and timeless jubilee band.
With reference 1603, the last digit '3' indicates that the watch features an engine-turned bezel. Engine turning, also known by its French term, guilloché, is a decorative method that involves mechanically engraving a complex and recurring pattern onto a material using a specific machine. While Rolex has ceased the production of engine-turned-bezels, discontinued models featuring this style can still be found in the pre-owned market. Visually similar to the more common fluted style, engine-turned bezels exhibit a series of ornamental grooves engraved around the perimeter.
The Rolex Datejust 1603 houses the automatic calibers 1565/1575, which feature 26 jewels and a frequency of 19,800 beats per hour, respectively. This includes an instantaneous date-change mechanism and a free-sprung Breguet overcoil hairspring, ensuring accuracy and durability. Note that it is common to spot '1570' on the Datejust calibre even though that would indicate the absence of a date mechanism. This is because the 1570 main plate was shared across different movements.
On the wrist, this watch evokes a lot of the vintage appeal that makes older Rolexes so popular. This factory Rolex dial has aged to a beautiful dark grey tone. The warmth of the acrylic crystal gives this watch a different look and feel than the references that came after. The pie-pan gives the watch a 3-dimensional look, similar to that of the Speedmaster stepped dials. The gorgeous USA-made factory Rolex jubilee bracelet is more rare than other variants and fits like a glove.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
This watch was serviced by Rolex in 2017 and comes with the service card and Rolex travel pouch pictured. The dial has aged to a beautiful darkish grey hugh. The case is in overall excellent condition, with some very light wear on the case, around 9/10. The factory USA bracelet has some light stretching, and is in overall excellent condition, around 8/10. The watch will fit up to a 7.2-inch wrist.

WHY THIS WATCH
The Rolex Datejust 16220 was introduced in 1989, replacing the reference 16030 which had been the flagship datejust since the late 1970s. The Datejust represents the spirit of the Rolex by treading that fine line between an all-out dress piece and something robust and versatile enough to be worn everyday. With it's quickset date function, sapphire crystal and bulletproof 3135 movement, the ref. 16220 is the perfect compromise for those who appreciate the looks of vintage Rolex but who want all the reassurance and convenience of modern-day engineering.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
This black dial 16220 is a U9XXXX serial number making it a 1997 watch. Case is in fantastic condition with sharp lugs and some light wear from normal use. Movement is setting and running strong with no issues. Comes with Box only, no papers.

WHY THIS WATCH
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, introduced in 1957, is an iconic timepiece with an unparalleled history. Originally designed for motorsports, the Speedmaster's robust, accurate, and easy-to-read chronograph attracted NASA's attention. In 1965, after rigorous testing, NASA certified the Speedmaster for manned space missions. The watch gained fame as the "Moonwatch" when astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore it during the historic Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. Since then, the Speedmaster has been part of every manned U.S. space mission, including the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project and the Space Shuttle program. Its legendary status, timeless design, and connection to space exploration make the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch a beloved timepiece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 310.32.42.50.01.001 is a contemporary iteration of the legendary Moonwatch, launched in 2021. It embraces the iconic design elements of its predecessors, with a 42mm stainless steel case, black tachymeter bezel, and Hesalite crystal. This model houses the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 310.32.42.50.01.001 is an outstanding watch due to its iconic design, space exploration legacy, and cutting-edge horological advancements. The timepiece boasts a classic aesthetic with its 42mm stainless steel case, black tachymeter bezel, and Hesalite crystal. Its rich history, including its role in the Apollo 11 moon landing, adds to its allure. The watch is powered by the modern Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, offering superior precision, anti-magnetic properties, and a co-axial escapement. This blend of timeless design, space-age pedigree, and advanced movement technology make the 310.32.42.50.01.001 a sought-after and cool timepiece.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 310.32.42.50.01.001 features the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, a manual-winding movement with a co-axial escapement. Boasting anti-magnetic properties up to 15,000 gauss, this METAS-certified caliber ensures excellent precision and reliability. The Calibre 3861 has 26 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve.
The Speedmaster is a classic for a reason. This is my ultimate go-to tool watch that I can wear almost every day (on different straps!) and use to time almost everything. The watch wears deceptively well for 42mm. I love the way the legendary twisted lugs look on the case. This watch was meant to be legible in space so imagine how legible it is at the office. They don't change the look of these watches very much year to year. This model has some slight differences from the older model, including the step dial, and a few other elements, but overall this watch is going to age like a vintage Porsche. Best tool watch ever?
THE LITTLE DETAILS
This watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized dealer and comes with everything you see in the pictures including the Box, and Warranty Card. Note that this is the strap-only model, and does not come with the metal bracelet. The watch has been worn very sparingly by its original owner and is in overall near-mint condition, with only very light wear on the case. I would say the watch is overall 93-95%. Comes with the factory Omega strap and factory buckle. The strap was worn around a dozen times only and still has the majority of its life left.

WHY THIS WATCH
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, introduced in 1993, is a bold, sporty adaptation of the iconic Royal Oak watch. Designed by Emmanuel Gueit, it pushed the boundaries of luxury watchmaking with its oversized 42mm case, visible gasket, and rugged aesthetics, becoming a trendsetter and symbol of contemporary high-end timepieces.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST, a popular reference in the Offshore collection, debuted in the 2000s. Its 42mm stainless steel case, bold "Méga Tapisserie" dial, and chronograph complication make it a powerful timepiece. Aesthetically versatile, it comes in numerous dial colors and offers an integrated bracelet or rubber strap.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST stands out for its distinctive design, blending the iconic Royal Oak's octagonal bezel with a bold "Méga Tapisserie" dial and chronograph function. Its 42mm stainless steel case offers robustness and presence, while the variety of dial colors and strap options provide versatility for various styles.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST houses the Calibre 3126/3840, an automatic movement with 59 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve. This movement features AP's signature design, harmonious bridges, hand-finished components, an angular balance cock, a 22K gold rotor with family crests, ceramic ball bearings, a balance with 8 variable inertia blocks, and polished gear train components with gold-plated, patterned non-functional surfaces.
Being the bigger, beefier cousin of the traditional Royal Oak, this watch doesn't let you forget it's on your wrist. I really like white dial Royal Oaks, and this one's got a sporty side, with touches of red throughout. The bracelet on this watch is what AP has become known for supremely finished and supremely comfortable. With the market price of the traditional royal oak in the stratosphere, these offshores are becoming more desirable by the day.

WHY THIS WATCH
In the mid-1990's Blancpain released what has become known as one of the greatest sports chronographs of all time. The Blancpain Leman Flyback 2185-F can be considered one of the best chronographs of all time for reasons we will get into shortly.
At 38mm, with a stepped bezel, the case on the Leman Flyback hits the sweet spot for a timeless case size and design. This case has some beautiful curves and is high polished throughout. On the flank we have "Blancpain" engraved, which was a controversial love it or hate it design element. Dial side we have beautifully bold Arabic numbers with a generous amount of luminous material applied.
The case contrasts perfectly with the legendary X-71 bracelet. The bracelet on this watch has become just as legendary as the watch itself. It's got a nice contrast of matte and polished finishing and is supremely comfortable.
Perhaps the primary reason this watch has become legendary is the Calibre F185 movement that drives this watch. The Calibre F185 is still one of the top automatic movements of all time. It's incredibly compact, at 26mm in diameter and 5.5mm high. This is one of the smoothest, reliable, and compact chronograph movements of all time.
When you combine the timeless case/dial design, the supremely comfortable and sexy bracelet, and one of the best chronograph movements of all time, it's no wonder this watch is highly prized among sophisticated collectors.
On the wrist, this watch fits just perfectly. 38mm is the sweet spot for sure. The dial is super legible and reminds me of some older military watches from the 1940's. I feel like this is the type of watch that just stays in your collection forever. It just hits all the right spots. The chronograph is so smooth. This watch is insanely accurate. Some days its completely dead on showing no deviation. This watch kind of reminds me of a Porsche in that it's well engineered and beautiful but it can be driven every day.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
Watch was purchased from an Authorized Blancpain dealer in 1997. The watch comes with all that you see in the pictures including box, and original paperwork. The watch was serviced a few years ago at an independent watchmaker, however the owner has lost the service paperwork. The watch is in overall excellent condition with only minor wear throughout I would say the case and bracelet are around 90% with only light scratches from normal use. There is a scratch on the crystal right around the center post area, that is hard to see unless you're looking for it. The movement is keeping excellent time, with the chronograph resetting to zero and the flyback working properly.Available for Pickup in our Showroom in Mclean, Virginia
