Six Professionals That Tend To Be Watch Lovers
Enjoying watches is typically not a solo activity. Watch lovers like myself feel the need constantly discuss or mentions watches, much to the dismay of non-watch lovers. But when you meet a fellow horological enthusiast, the conversation quickly becomes lively as shared interests intermingle. In my time I have realized that certain types of people tend to like watches more than others. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but represents six professions that tend to attract a watch loving bunch. Though it could also easily be suggested that entrance into the profession itself engenders a new appreciation that all the while lay dormant.LawyersMyself being in this group I felt it prudent to mention first. Lawyers comes in all varieties but one thing all lawyers (should) have in common is a distinct attention to detail. We also value items of inherent value, and reliability. Accuracy is another characteristic that lawyers value, and coincidentally enough, these are the same values that

Another Oval up...
...and although the photos are admirably clear (and knowledgeable collectors will undoubtably know), the seller conveniently neglects to mention that the lugs have been extended (and apparently not evenly): see item # 300629479816. So caveat emptor and all.

Croton of the vinitage variety
I picked up a vintage Croton, Swiss made with the following movement- COW A32 F211. I know the COW is Croton's code. No clue about the rest. It is a 17 jewel manual watch on a leather strap. And for $30 bucks (inc shipping) It is a great looking watch. (picks will be posted one of these days lol) It has a pale gold dial, gold with black insert indices and gold with black insert hands. Anyone able to tell me more about the movement? Thank you

Philip Customer service
Recently several of us purchased the 48mm Philip Admirale with the V7750. They were expected @ our homes by the 19th and then we received a letter from Mitch stating there was going to be a delay. A lot of people cancelled their orders and I thought long and hard but was convinced by another member not to. Well Philip stepped up, got the watches to the vendor and has picked up the tab for expeditied shipping for all buyers. Bravo and Kudos to a vendor that knows how to keep a client happy.I will not go into the Renato story about bad watch hands on a newer model belonging to a member( not me). I will not mention that the watch came back with painted hands rather than replaced ones. And the word China allegedlly was used as a location for repairs. That was jumped upon by a vendor as " the polishing cloth" was made in china. :rolleyes: In the end, the vendor made good on the repairs and I suspect a certain TV host may have played a large part in that.
