Rolex : GMT-Master II with Serti Dial : 16718<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The gold GMT Master II is already rarely seen in comparison to the gold Submariner Date, but this piece is even more uncommon with a factory champagne dial with eight serti set diamonds and three rubies.\u00a0 The jubilee band with hidden clasp is in great condition with very little play.<\/p>\n

Breitling B-1 : A68062<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The most functional watch in the world. \u00a0Well, that may be an overstatement, but it is certainly up there with the best. This is the first version of the B-1, made between 1999 and 2001. \u00a0The alarm and dual time zone make it ideal for travelers. \u00a0The movement is similar to that used in the Breitling Aerospace, but the chronograph pushers allow for instant use of the function. \u00a0This piece also has a nice heft compared to the Aerospace.<\/p>\n

Omega Dynamic Chronograph : 5240.50<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Dynamic is a little known Omega model with a classic sporty look. \u00a0How many Omega automatic chronographs can be found for under $2,000? \u00a0Not many. \u00a0I expect the Dynamic Chronograph, along with Speedmaster MK40s to become more and more sought after as watch sizes drift back towards the 39mm range.<\/p>\n

TAG Heuer – SEL Chrono ‘West McLaren Mercedes 98’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Very cool limited edition from 1998. \u00a0In fact, this the very first limited edition McLaren model from TAG Heuer. \u00a0The case back features the signatures of Mika H\u00e4kkinen, David Coulthard and Ron Dennis.<\/p>\n
