Longines Evidenza Mini Black Diamond Dial Black Leather Ladies Watch L21750572

Ebel Classic Hexagon 41mm
Ebel is introducing a new, smaller version of the Classic Hexagon that measures 41mm in diameter, compared with 45.5mm for the original version. The new model is not specifically tagged as a ladies model, but the press materials say “Although originally dedicated to men, the new Classic Hexagon watches are just as happy to wrap themselves around a feminine wrist.” Like the original Hexagon, the smaller models feature a one-piece “monohull” case that is shaped to fit the wrist. The watch is a simple three-hand design with center seconds and a large date at 3 o’clock. Black and white dials are available. The movement is an automatic ETA 2896.

The Value Proposition: The Unbreakable Allure Of The Rado DiaStar Original
One of the interesting things about watch collecting is that it has all sorts of little archipelagos of design and mechanical innovation to be discovered, once you branch off from better-traveled territory. One of the most interesting watches of the late 20th century is, to me, also one of the less appreciated, for various reasons (more on that in a minute) and it’s a watch that says a great deal not only about shifting tastes, but also about the march of technology and how it’s affected what we expect from watches right down to the present day.That watch is the Rado DiaStar. The DiaStar is probably the single most memorable vintage Rado watch – the company brought out the first one in 1962, the year of (among other things) the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the debut of Dr. No. At first glance it is very much a watch of its time – there were (and are) many different models, but the ur-DiaStar has an immediately recognizable shape. The case is oblog, framing a round

Watchguy frustrations
I'm still fairly new at watch collecting, i rely only on the local AD for service and repair which cost an arm and a leg (almost another decent pre-loved for what they charge). A good, trustworthy watchmaker comes to mind and here's where my little adventure (or misadventure) begins.I'm envious that most of you here have a very good relationship with the watchguy. From where i'm at, they are either grumpy and secretive and will give you and your watch that look of i-will-eat-you-and-i-will-take-what-i-can-from-your-watch.Then i start with small talk of all the nice watches i like. Like magic, he has one in stock (soon) at a ridiculous price. In some places, they all have these dials and wheels and crowns, the guy smiling and eagerly showing me their "current project". It's like a jedi psych war thing just to establish rapport with these guys. Do the gurus and newbies alike here experience the same thing? How long til you found the "good guys"? So in my wish list: Omega Ploprof, Speedy

Michele Deco Glamour
HI,I have been researching the purchase of a New Michele Deco Glamour watch. It retails for $2,999.95 on Michele. I have found a local authorized retailer who has told me that the metal band by itself is $500 and that the Michele Deco Glamour Face by itself is $2499.95. I asked them what type of discount they would offer and said if i paid cash, they would reduce it by 25% meaning that the Face would cost me roughly $1874. My question...Is this a good price? I know retailers tend to markup their items as high as 40-45%. Can i shave anymore off of that or is that a good deal?Any help is appreciated!
