watches-dealer Reader Joins Us For Watch Weekend In Los Angeles
Recently, watches-dealer reader Griffin C. from Chicago, Illinois, joined me here in Los Angeles for a few days of geeking-out watchnerd-style and to attend The World's Most Expensive Watches book party with us. This was a result of Griffin winning a giveaway prize early in the year that we had intended to experience with him over the summer. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the originally planned trip to the watch maker RGM in Pennsylvania was cancelled by RGM, and resulted in a dispute between the company and watches-dealer that the online watch community has discussed a few months ago. Nevertheless, despite the setbacks, I had an obligation to Griffin and wanted to make the most out of the situation.Griffin had never traveled to Los Angeles, and I thought it would be a good idea to bring him to town and give him a great watch experience with people he might not otherwise get to meet. I was fortunate to have him come join me during the right weekend at the Chateau Marmont for

SwissKubiK Watch Winder Review
Veterans of the watch industry know that automatic watch winders are a relatively new addition to the horological enthusiast's world. Such an odd thing really. What did the last several decades of collectors do when they had large collections of automatic winding mechanical watches? I really don't know. In my ongoing coverage of watch winders, I seek to find the perfect winder for you. Each model and brand has something unique to offer, and will be right for many people. Personally, I have a growing collection of all sorts of winders. No winder is perfect, and the right one will depend on where you store watch, how large your wrists are, and of course your budget. For you right here is a review of the very nice SwissKubiK. It is a very modern and well designed watch winder that for some will be the world's most perfect winder.SwissKubiK watch winders are all perfect squares (10cm x 10cm) for the single winders. Though the company does make units that are meant to wind multiple watches.

Hands-On: With The Harry Winston Midnight Skeleton (Live Photos)
While you probably expected the first Basel World Harry Winston post to be about Opus 12, the follow-up to this bad boy, it's not.? You see, that one is going to take some time think about before we share our thoughts on it.? And, there was actually is another piece from Harry Winston that really caught our eye when we visited their booth just a few hours ago.?The Midnight collection from HW is the most classical and refined of all HW men's watches, and today we say what will be the most "technical" and "watchy" model of the line, and a piece that serious watch guys are going to love.? It is a fully skeletonized time-only watch, and it is really beautiful.? The open-work on this guy is really lovely, and shows off what we can expect from the budding Winston line in years to come - they are going to be a very serious player down the road.?For the skeletonized Midnight, Winston chose to use a micro-rotor so allow for more open viewing of the movement, and the watch looks really great fro

Advice on a 5396
I have been considering a 5146G for some time and then happened to try on a 5396G while visiting NY last month. I am thinking now, that is the watch for me (looking for a long term PP...not something to flip in a year or two). Really caught my eye as sleek and a modern classic piece. Also liked the white face over the cream face on the 5146.The 5396 to my eye seems more business or formal (but hoping I can dress it down a bit with maybe a mat strap) vs the 5146. Not looking for an everyday piece but also dont want it to be too limiting. Any thoughts on this?I think the 5146 is and will always be seen as a classic. Question is what about the 5396? Crystal balls out please! I know its person choice but does the PP community here think the 5396 a long term keeper or will it fade off as a miss in a few more years time? Or should I just stick with the more tried and true 5146?Thanks in advance for any advice or commentary. Borrowed a few pics just for reference.

Rolex Deusche?
Have: vintage DJ, Explorer 21470 (post-2016)Want: White Ceramic Daytona Would having three Rolex watches make me a Rolex deusche? I used to hate Rolex...the way I used to hate BMWs; they¡¯re everywhere. But the more I learn about cars and the more I learn about watches, I¡¯ve grown a finer appreciation for the level of detail and engineering that goes into every piece put together by these brands.
