Poll: Your Hand-Orientation & What Wrist You Wear Your Watch On?
I'm left-handed and I also prefer to wear a watch on my left wrist. That makes me somewhat unusual because the traditional "rule" when it comes to your wrist watch is that it goes on your non-dominant hand's wrist. So if I were like more people and followed the "rule," I would wear my watch on my right wrist because I am left-handed.So why don't I conform to the more typical orientation of wearing my watch on my non-dominant wrist? I don't actually know. I am pretty sure that I started wearing a watch from an extremely early age (perhaps 3 or 4years old) and no one was there to explain to me what wrist I should wear my watch on. What I probably did (as any young child does) is observe where most adults were wearing their watches ¨C and I followed suit.A recent e-mail from an watches-dealer reader (thanks Jonno) in Australia asked me if I knew anything about the history of wrist watches for lefties. I realized that I wasn't aware of any such "lefty watch" history, and assumed that for th

High Quality Spy Gadget "Q" Watches From Veldini To Arrive Soon; Three Versions For The Spy In All Of Us
No one who likes watches doesn't like cool gadgets. Gadgets are little morsels of functional goodness. Items designed specifically for the purpose of doing one or more things (aside from sitting there). Gadgets can be tools, but can also be so much more. So if you don't like cool gadgets, then stop reading. But if you do, then this new line of products from Canadian Veldini will certainly evoke an audible "cool" from you.Do you remember playing with spy toys as a kid? Those plastic things that you wished came in professional quality? Well I remember, and I think most of the real stuff was reserved for the CIA, and alike agencies. And now, when I am (publicly) too old to play with toys, comes Veldini with its Q watches. Three models are due for release, the Q; Outdoor, Spy, and Everyday. Further the watches will come in three materials, sterling Silver, yellow gold, and rose gold. Prices depend on the material used and will range from $2,000 to $15,000 dollars.So lets talk about what th

Long Overdue Success Story - Extra Sauce 5711
Ive been after a 5711 in blue for a number of years, but always refused to pay over retail. Principal I suppose, maybe I'm just really really stubborn. I bought a 15202 (wore it 5 times over the course of a year, mostly for instagram pictures and then sold it) sent full msrp deposits to Ads who were entirely full of it and promised delivery inside 9 months, but mostly just whined incessantly to my WIS friends about how this watch had eluded me for so many years. I occasionally pestered my original AD who's list I had been put on, but was typically told that there were still people in front of me. Fast forward to this september, Prices are in the 33-37k range and I've given up. Bitching to WIS friends continues, SORRY hairdude, horologyandtechnology and bzabodyn214, I just can't help myself. Fast forward to this past september and I get a phone call from that original AD who says nothing more than, I need your credit card please Yes, yes you can have my credit card, TAKE IT ALREADY. My

Datejust 41 or Speedmaster?
Of course the title doesn't make sense so I will make a long story short. When I first got into watches I really wanted an Omega SMP but didn't have the budget. Settled for a Tag Aquaracer and sold it a year later to help fund my Sub 114060 which I love (my first keeper watch) and I am looking to expand my collection in the future.Before I pulled the trigger on the Sub, I decided on the Speedmaster but realized the bracelet doesn't fit right and that if I am going to own this watch, I want it on a black leather strap. I didn't want leather and manual wind for every day wear and also decided I like the hesalite version best, so I wanted something more scratch resistant.Recently I have become obsessed with the new DJ41, specifically smooth bezel on jubilee – Rhodium or blue dial (pictures absolutely welcomed, please and thank you).I would appreciate your thoughts and comments on whether you would go for the SMP on leather (with the option to add/change straps) or the Datejust41 (an

shipping a daytona from Switzerland
A friend living in Switzerland got an SS Daytona for me.He is asking me if I want to visit him in EU and get it.Though I am thinking of shipping directly to US.Do I need to pay tax/duties or any other charges when doing international shipping from Switzerland to US, what is the rate?Do I need to do pre-pay ? and does US customs blocks my package if don't pay in advance?I did some research but am still not clear.Any body here knows the answer or had similar experience to share?Thanks!
