Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're speaking with one of our own writers, James Lamdin. Along with writing about watches, he's also the founder and CEO of analog/shift, and he's painted us a rather vivid picture of his own grail hunt.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?James Lamdin: I am James Lamdin, and in addition to my freelance writing for ABTW and other outlets, I am the founder and CEO of analog/shift, an online boutique with a curated selection of vintage timepieces. In other words, I work on both sides of the timepiece industry, covering new watches and current events while wearing my writer's cap, as well as buying, selling, and brokering vintage wrist and pocket watches for individual and corporate clients. In many ways, I get the best of both worlds, and should

Introducing: The New Rolex Datejust 41mm
Rolex has released a slew of new watches at this year's Baselworld. You may have already seen (and drooled over) the new Rolex Daytona with black ceramic bezel or the new Rolex Explorer, but one we haven't talked about yet is the new 41 mm Datejust. 1 OF 3 The Datejust, first produced in 1946, is the bread and butter for Rolex. It is one of their most iconic and popular models and the vintage versions are incredibly collectible. Another little known fact is that the ladies' Datejust is the highest selling Rolex model EVER (for real). So it is no surprise that Rolex keeps reinventing the wheel with the Datejust because, it's just a really good watch. 2 OF 3 Which brings me to the 41 mm.

Hamilton King Pilot 46mm- a review

The strap is so thick and
