There is tropical, and then there is just downright ridiculous. As we’ve told you before, serious vintage Rolex collectors love it when the black part of a dial turns brown – they call it “chocolate” or “tropical.” In many cases, people will pay a large premium for tropical dials.
The watch we spotted today over on VRF goes beyond chocolate and beyond tropical – in fact the damn dial is so faded it’s illegible to the naked eye.
What it is is a vintage Tudor Submariner Ref 7298 with pointed crown guards – a pretty cool and valuable piece. But, the dial on this one is, well, really, really ridiculously faded.
Besides the incredibly faded dial (seller claims you can read it with a loupe), the watch looks OK. What’s funny is, we bet there are some guys out there that are salivating at the chance to own a vintage Sub this tropical.
This vintage 7298 Tudor Sub is listed over at VRF for $ 13,500 here.
Editor’s Note: This post should read neither as an endorsement or criticism of this seller’s listing. It is up to any individual buyer to do all reasonable due diligence when making a purchase.

i am wondering if the military accepts these and if they will or wont make fun of you , of not only these but like any stuff that famlies bring you. does the military accept b-ball shorts, watches, shoes,pictures, money, and some other stuff unlikely like portable devices like mp3/cd’s , portable games, magazines etc. i am just wondering i know these stuff are really unlikely but just to make sure. theres nothin wrong with asking and knowing…….

When my son signed up and went to basic, the only thing he could bring was himself. Once he was there we could send pictures, etc. When he went to Iraq you sent anything that was legal there (no pork, no booze) and that you knew could survive the sand. Ask your recruiter or commanding officer.
I’m talking Marines btw.

Late last month, JLC’s Unique Auction took place in Paris, bringing out some serious bidders from around the world. Thanks to stiff bidding competition, 10 world records were set on such examples as a Deep Sea Alarm Europe, and even an Atmos. Vintage pieces enjoyed the most success, with pocket watches, some divers and chronographs pulling in strong numbers, even if within their estimates.
Other notable performers include a Militaire SHOM, which sold for 15,000 €, a Polaris 1968 brought 23000 €, a QP Staybrite got 70,000 € and a Reverso Cadran Bleu that got 38,000 €. All of those prices exclude fees and VAT.
Head over to PuristS for further insights on the auction results including some interesting commentary.

I’m pretty sure I’m getting about 50 spam emails a day, now, trying to sell me “top quality luxury watches”. Just wondering if anyone has ever actually bought a watch from someone who sent them random spam.

Answer by Haruka
They were never ‘together’ like that. Just really good friends.
Although Jacob wished they were more xD

I think Taco Bell Owns! But there is way better Mexican places out there, but I wasn’t born into a Mexican heritage so I’m use to my Empanadas and Arepas
I never get the Tacos at taco bell they suck. But what I’m saying is I know it’s not the real deal but do you mind it?
@Paco- I had the best Empanada with Arequipe and Cheese Ever!
Answer by La Pulga- Nuevo R7
You need to eat real mexican foot not taco bell or del taco

Bell & Ross Question&Answer:
I tried calling their corporate office & the lady was no help & couldn’t tell me which locations do have it but on their website it shows the burrito is sold at select locations…so, I’m trying to find which locations near me sell it without me calling every Taco Bell in a 20 mile radius. Thanks!
Answer by Lucy
In lawndale CA

I couldn’t help but write about this. You might already know about these, which means you think they are as cool as I do. Nike has decided to build a limited edition set of the Nike MAG shoes from Back to the Future Part II as part of their “It’s About Time” collection. These shoes have until now only existed as movie props. People have been begging Nike to actually make them for years – and here they are. There will be 1,500 pairs made – every single one will be auctioned off on eBay from now until September 18th, 2011.
Every kid who has ever seen the Back to the Future movies has wanted at least part of what they saw in the films to be real. 26 years later and we don’t really have much. No time machines, no hover boards, no flying cars. Not even flux capacitors. And we certainly don’t have self lacing, self drying shoes that make cool wooshing noises. Though we have had shoes with lights in them for a while… And look at the state of our civilization now. The 2011 Nike MAG doesn’t fully live up to its 1989 promise, but is here and is a reality as a perfect replica. All the tech toys we wanted it to have aren’t here, but it does light up and has a battery charger that comes with it.
While this is not a watch, and it does not tell the time, it is tangentially related to time travel. Good enough right? It is however a very cool collectible that many people will eagerly try to buy. Why did Nike make them? Well last year they released the Dunk 6.0 DeLorean shoes as a limited edition of 1000 pairs that were a silent nod to the 25th anniversary of the original Back to the Future. I think the easy success and publicity those shoes had helped fuel the decision to make these MAGs.
According to Nike the full proceeds from auction sales for all 1,500 pairs will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation that is dedicated to finding a cure and treatments for Parkinson’s disease. This means that the entire project is essentially for charity. Nike claims the shoes are a direct aesthetic replica of the movie prop shoes from the film. In Back to the Future Part II Marty McFly actually travels to 2015 – so perhaps in a few years we will get the real deal. I do not believe that the Nike MAG 2011 shoes will be commercially available outside of the eBay auctions.
The auctions started last night and I believe go for 24 hours each. All 1,500 pairs are available in eBay’s Fashion Vault. Sizes for the shoes are 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. As cultural icons these shoes are great. If I had a pair it would be really hard to wear them. I have a feeling that most of them are going to go for very handsome prices. Check out the Nike MAG shoe auctions here.
