Answering The Question Of Who watches-dealer Works For
If you are someone that likes watches, possibly buys watches, and are reading this with your "consumer hat" on, then you are who watches-dealer works for. Why do I feel the need to say this? That is a good question and why I wrote this essay. In short, it is because the word "support" really bothered me. Sometimes, I like to offer an "inside baseball" look at what goes on behind the scenes at watches-dealer, and what it is like owning or working for a web magazine that covers watches and what is essentially the luxury industry. In addition to offering people insight about what we do, I of course have a deeper agenda and sometimes like to correct mistakes that I sometimes observe in the industry.Today, that mistake is who watches-dealer works for, and sometimes people tend to think it is for the brands. In fact, most of the people who believe that are the actual watch brands themselves. They aren't doing it out of malice or contempt, but rather that they are just so used to luxury and l

Hands-On: The Cle De Cartier In Rose Gold And Steel
Last January at the 2015 edition of the SIHH, Cartier launched a major new family of wristwatches called the Clé De Cartier – named for the key-like, oblong winding and setting crown set into the flank of the case. We went hands on with the original launch models and we were very impressed by not only the visual, but also the tactile aspects of the design – the watch felt great in the hand and on the wrist, and the crown was just different enough to give a tingle of pleasure, but not so unusual as to become an obstacle to convenience.

The finish is not as elaborate as on, say, the 1904 MC (found in the Calibre de Cartier) but it comes in at a lower price as well, which puts the Clé De Cartier in a generally more affordable price bracket – the model we&rsq

My new Rolex
I just got a new watch for my wrist and wanted show you guys. I rescued this 60 year old and now that it works, I love it. Hope you like it too.

3rd time's a charm
Courtesy of Davidsw, i just acquired a 15300 white in absolutely flawless condition. I've owned this reference twice in the past but flipped both times as they were in less than stellar shape. This one is immaculate. Will be a permanent member of my collection this time.

5164A-001 availability versus 5167A-001
So I am on waiting list(s) for the 5167A-001. I have not been given any indication of how long it would take. I just know I am number 11 on one waiitng list at an AD.While calling various ADs in Switzerland to check availability, I was told that waiting time for the 5164A-001 is only 3 months. So now I am questionning myslef on upgrading or not although budegt is not the same. Is the 5164A-001 taht easy to get from an AD?I would prefer to buy my first PP from an AD to at least get my name on the watch certificate. From grey, 5167 can be available within 1 months with a 8% premium.
