Icon3 Thoughts on a project - detailed guides for verifying watches

Earlier this year I was almost burned when a dealer showed me a 100% original Red 1680, only to find out on TRF that it was definitely not all original. Another example was the Flat Four fiasco another TRFer was in when he bought a Frankenstein Kermit. These situations got me thinking there has to be a better way for collectors to validate a piece and make sure that it has all of the details & quirks it should have.

For the last week or so I finally buckled down and built a site for enthusiasts to create pages for specific models and to highlight the features of the piece. The details on the dial, the variations on the bezel, the ending serial numbers, anything.

I'm finally ready to show off the first version of this little project, and was wondering if I could get some feedback &/or questions.

Here is an example page for a Mark 1 Kermit.

So the idea is you'll be able to search for a model, pull up a listing, and find high quality images & detailed info on what a model needs. After almost getting burned myself, I want a solution for the community to be able to more easily share & discover information.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help-
