Back a few years ago, it was $3,000

Recently, that’s moved closer to $10k, but not sure I’d ever actually pull the trigger at anything more than that - but this is a strange disease.

Great vintage piece.

Farer GMTs are a little above that $$ threshold, but oh! The colors.

Funky - Farer has the cushion collection with Arabic (I think it’s actually the opposite of Arabic. Arabic is 1,2,3 right?)

Anyway. Very tempted. Love the look

Nice. Radium burns and all.

Great find

I have an old Hamilton that was my grandad’s as well. It’s like the space race as they went from pocket watches to wrist watches and had the “look how small we can do this” mentality. Even too small for my wife, so I wear it.

I have a vintage Gotham that ticks a 3Hz and literally rings an E like a guitar string when it’s silent in the room. Like there’s someone hammering a little bell inside.

I love to keep it on the nightstand as a white noise device.

You seem to have a good list. Remember- you may just hold onto this on your whole life. Tudor BB is a GASA for sure. Have you seen the BB 925? It’s Sterling Silver instead of stainless. Will patina a bit over time. Personally I like the idea. YMMV
