Interview With Watch Lover Om Malik Of GigaOM On Smartwatches And The Samsung Galaxy Gear
With the announcement of the new Samsung Galaxy Gear, we had a chance to talk a little bit with Om Malik, founder of GigaOm. Om is an accomplished (and award-winning) journalist, with much of his work focused on the tech industry. What many may not know is that he's also a watch guy and friend of watches-dealer, which makes him the perfect person to talk to about smartwatches. Let's see what Om has to say about the smartwatch segment in general, and more specifically the Samsung Galaxy Gear:watches-dealer (ABTW): Given your background and interests, you've spent time around the smartwatch segment - how do you feel the category is shaping up?Om Malik (OM): I think we are still in the early innings here. Despite all the hype and noise around it, none of the companies have come up with a killer, mass market product. Most of my friends in Silicon Valley are obsessed with them, mostly because they are alpha/super early adopters.ABTW: What do you feel are the biggest strengths and weaknesses

What To Do With This Vintage Watch?
I could use some opinions on a vintage watch.I have an old vintage Benrus 15 jewel which is probably a very late 30's model. As you can see from the pics below it has a white dial with rubies and rhinestones for hour markers. It was very popular and a big seller for Benrus back in the day. The case in very nice shape, as are the hands and mechanically it's pretty darn accurate, but as you can see though, the dial is abit of a mess. It has what looks like mold or algae on it, some scratches and a rhinestone is floating around inside as it has come off it's mount. So I'm thinking about a full-on restoration including having the dial painted. Or, I can wait to find a minty version, which are still out there and spend about $200 on one. I spent very little on this watch, because I just wanted to see if I would like it and I do.So, restore, or buy another one?

Ceramic AP divers disappeared???
I wanted to check a few pieces on Chrono24 and decided to see if they had my Ce diver, the ceramic is no more in the search part on the left, is it possible that they don't have a single ceramic ROO in their listing for it to be gone? They have carbon and others but no more ceramic, I'm very surprised as they had quite a few different ones, from the 42's to the 44's.Then I decided to go on the AP website and when you go the white and black ceramic diver are not shown anymore, you can just see them when doing a advanced options search, which I did and both are there but with the mention availability to be confirmed/ Boutique exclusive could this mean that they stopped making them as before they were with the 2 other divers? I know it's not the first time we talked about it but this time I'm really wondering¡­In any case if ever it's discontinued I would be a very happy camper as for me the Ce is an awesome watch, having a virtually unscratchable watch is a clear luxury, can't say how gre

My new 5167
Stopped into the AD yesterday, left with a new toy. I'd been eyeing the Aquanaut for a few months, my AD had the travel time on display. It has amazing wrist presence and the complication is so alluring. However I really wanted to try on the 5167, lower price and currently more elusive. I also admire the simplicity of the time/date. Anyway here's a wrist shot.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
