Orient Enforcer SEZ07003D0 Watch
We've long been fans of Japanese Orient watches. Especially when it comes to affordable mechanical watches,?and we'd like to share with you the "Enforcer" model. Below you'll also find a limited time discount on this watch exclusively for watches-dealer readers. Orient is technically a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seiko these days, and has been producing mechanical watches entirely in Japan for over 50 years. One of the problems a lot of Japanese brands have had historically is marketing themselves properly in the Western world. A good example is the name of the brand "Orient," which is rarely associated with Japan.Especially over the last few years, Orient has been upping its game a lot. That means better designs, more interesting movements. and a really impressive level of fit and finish. There are also the higher-end Royal Orient and Orient Star collections that are rare outside of Japan. Anyhow, let's look at the new Orient SEZ07003D0 Enforcer watch that sums up a lot of why Orient i

Devon Tread 2 Watch: Round 2
I am pleased that Scott Devon?considers my opinion valuable enough to run designs by me and ask me questions about the future of his rather cool high-end electromechanical watch brand. As part of this exchange I learned that the highly-anticipated Tread 2 watch that we saw hands-on on here?at Baselworld 2012 was likely to be put on hold. That was distressing to me as the Tread 1 needed a suitable follow-up, in addition to the fact that I liked the Tread 2.Nevertheless Scott wasn't happy with the design of the Tread 2 as it was after Baselworld. The project was re-assessed and it was possible that the Tread 2 wasn't even going to be released. This was despite the fact that Devon had orders for the watches. There was even a possibility that the Tread 2 was going to be skipped in favor of another model.In the end, the Tread 2 prevailed, but in a new and more distinct form. The case and concept of the Tread 2 has been re-thought. The tonneau-style case comes in steel with DLC black coated

Tissot Heritage Navigator 160th Anniversary Review
It's been a trend as of late with some of the larger brands that have been around for a while to bring back a classic model from their archives. Whether as a special edition or as a retro mainstay of their line, these reissues stand out amongst modern watches, often surpassing them in style. Tissot continues this trend with a complex watch that is a dazzling today as it must have been when it was first released; the Heritage Navigator 160th Anniversary.The story of the Tissot Heritage Navigator 160 starts in 1953 with Tissot's 100th anniversary. The 1950's marked the dawn of commercial air travel. It was trendy, sexy and luxurious, so it is of no surprise that watch brands began designing for the jet-set. Famously, you have watches like the Rolex GMT-Master, with its iconic "Pepsi" blue and red bezel as well as GMT function for tracking multiple time zones. For their centenary Tissot created a very innovative World Time watch, which could be used to tell the time, at a glance, for majo

Limited edition: better used with papers or grey bnib without?
Title says it all and I'd like your opinion: I've been on the hunt for a LE which does not frequently come up for sale, and located one in very nice condition. It is being sold by the second owner and was bought new from AD in 2011. This is a complete set, with all papers (although no remaining warranty, I believe).Simultaneously, there is a grey market website (for this exercise, assume the website is legit) which has one for sale BNIB, though it comes with boxes and manuals only. Any necessary warranty work would be covered by the grey dealer's warranty, not Breitling's. I would never use this outside warranty, probably sending the watch to BSC if I ever needed any work done. Furthermore, as the website states that the watch comes with boxes and manuals, I'm unsure if the LE certificate would be included, although I see no reason why it shouldn't, since they usually only remove the warranty card.The price difference between these watches would be $1350 (5150 bnib grey and 3800 used c
