You can get the APF and Omega, but the 56 is probably no longer made by ZF.

Of course it's not :( Damnit.
You can try looking for one called MXF, they make it and do decent Vacheron Rep. But I have minimal experience with them.

GRF makes one but I don't like it because it's quite (shite) in my eyes. Bad case and crown.

Happy anniversary and congratulations on your beautiful collection. Thank you for your contributions to the forum.

It's always interesting for me to see which watches you have and want, because I also have a rather narrow wrist. Still not convinced about the RM, but I might give it a try, too.

Thank you. With small wrists I think you just accept it all looks big. I'll try everything except the following : 44mm Offshore, 47mm Panerai, Breitling past the 42mm mark.

Buffing out your frame is best to proprtionally balance a watch. It may look big on wrist but if you're a unit then it doesn't look bad overall.

I'm now exploring 4-digit vintage for smaller watches. A rabbit hole of its own, though.

With the new year incoming, 2025 is the year of liquidation of this collection. I will make an effort to write a mini review of all the watches I have before I sell them. I wished I could keep them but I don't have 35 wrists :ROFLMAO:

You should post a group photo! But prepare your inbox's anus for entry of forceful solicitation.

Happy New Year bud! Haha, honestly I think it will be hard to sell some of the pieces, stuff like the 3714 or the Vacheron tourbillion/dual time are not popular pieces, I expect to take a loss on everything

Happy new year!

Depends on how long you wanna wait for a sale.

For example, personally I just bought my first TD sourced watch in several years.

Sticking to m2m here saves me the shipping and wait and makes it more fun hunting what I really want down, I like that and have no issues paying close to "msrp" from respectable folk like you.

I don't see an issue with asking for what you paid on each and playing the long game, dismissing low ballers, as it's beneficial for sales section here.

Someone out there is always looking for your watch. But not everyone sees every sales post or searches back for what they are looking for.

We know this because, we will wait over a month to sell a watch sometimes and then after it sells ill get people asking if it's still available, weeks, months later.

Frankens, well, different story🫠
