BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends September 12, 2014
It¡¯s been a long time coming, but it is finally here. Well, almost - it will actually go on sale only next year. Just days ago, Apple finally lifted the veil off its new smart watch, which is simply called the Apple Watch. Now, and even before it was unveiled, many are calling it the game changer, believing that it will have a profound and massive impact on the wearable technology industry. They are probably right; the watch is well made, looks relatively stylish, and has some good functionality. But what does it mean for the rest of the watch industry? Well, our Editor-in-Chief and founder Ariel weighs in with his thoughts.Apart from the Apple Watch, we also check out another ¡°smart¡± watch, albeit a more traditional one, in the form of Casio¡¯s MRG-G1000. Find out why?it is called the ultimate G-Shock in our hands-on article. Other new watches we checked out recently include Zenith¡¯s very vintage-looking Pilot Montre d¡¯Aeronef Type 20 GMT 1903, Cartier¡¯s new Calibre Diver, and a person

A Rolex problem
My Rolex is running some seconds slow each day. Do anyone know something other then sending it on service that I can do to make it go a little more correct?Also my Plexiglas crystal got some scratches. Anyone know a way to remove some of the scratches or at least make them less visible? So anyone know some way to fix these problems with like normal things you can buy at normal stores?

My new Speedmaster automatic
It was between this watch & a brown w/ brown strap professional. Price was the ultimate decider. I have no complaints.

Service recommendations
I just got a manual wind (lemania) mid 90's Navitimer Cosmonaut, by the way it looks great, not mint but solid. I just noticed the chrono stop button is not working, and the hour hand is not moving all the time I think, I'm located on the east coast 1.5 hour south of philly. Can anyone recommend a great watch maker. I can ship it as well, didn't want to send to Breitling int. I don't know if they try an replace hands and dial with service parts as this has a patina dial goin on. Any vintage guys out there highly recommended? Thanks

Speedmaster Questions
I tried on a Speedmaster Professional at a local AD today. Wow, what a great watch. I loved checking it out after having seen them on the 'net so much. I tried on the model with sapphire crystal, display back and leather strap -- I believe that is the 3873.50.31. I really liked it. Here are a few questions for the speedmaster aficianados out there:1. What do you think of the display back? I'm drawn to it because it's an extra feature and the decorated movement looks cool. But, I've had display backs before and I rarely take a watch off to actually look at the movement. I wonder if it is worth the money to have the display back, especially considering the differences from the more historically accurate speedmaster pro -- i.e., sapphire v. hesalite and 861 v. 1861 movement. I read that the 1861 swapped out some stronger plastic parts for aesthetic reasons. I think the hesalite and 861 are better, but that display back is cool.2. Is $3900 less 10% a good price from an AD. See
