New Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Automatic / Quartz Watch

     I am a Filipino and an Asian. Asians love Rolex so much over the other swiss watches available in the market today. But I think, I am one of the exception. I love Rolex (a brand that can easily be pawned as collateral, easy to trade and a good insurance to hedge inflation) but I adore Vintage and the 21st century Hamiltons. Since Hamilton has relaunched its brand in the market, I am in constant search over the internet of what is the latest news on the brand. As I opened one of my social media accounts today, this new Hamilton Ventura Elvis80  Quartz / Automatic Watch appeared on my page. Please read the Hamiton webpage on the technical description of the watch on http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/news/baselworld-march-19-26-2015 . This watch is a tribute to the King of Rock and Roll's 80th Birthday  thus the name Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 and I am pretty much sure that this watch will be one  of the collectible Hamiltons in the future.

 Consider me a radical but I love to see this watch on a Titanium asymmetrical case. I think that would be awesome! and IF this watch would be on a Titanium asymmetrical case. it will  definitely  rock the baselworld!

Rock 'n Roll!

How to Start Selling Omega or other Watch Parts

     When someone sells to me a Vintage Omega  Watch with a broken or a missing part, I don't frown and tell the trader upfront to offer the watch to another buyer.  But, I instead  offer  the best price with the trader because I know that I can sell or use the other watch parts in the future.

    Before  I ventured into buying and selling vintage Omega Parts, some watch parts sellers in my area would price their watch parts too high. When I badly need the watch part, I don't have a choice but to buy the watch part that I need! With the high price of a watch part that I need, it somehow "hurt" the profit that I am going to make for a watch that badly needs a missing part. :)

    There are some physical attributes (in my own experience)  that a Vintage Omega watch has a damaged part before I open up the watch movement. One is,  if the case is gold plaque, and it shows some bad corrosion and if the dial is already damaged and unreadable.

     After buying a broken Omega Watch, I carefully put it in a hard plastic box and I put a label of the movement's caliber on the outside of the box. Watch parts prices go up with time. It can overtake inflation! It is a good insurance for your money. Watch parts have also a value like your precious watch!

     One example I can give that a watch part can really handle inflation and gives you a good profit margin is some people over the internet sells  Rolex Gold bracelet links. They don't price each link by the current price of gold per gram in the market but instead sell a Rolex link sometimes three times MORE than the current gold price per gram in the market! What a good profit indeed!
