watches-dealer Reader Joins Us For Watch Weekend In Los Angeles
Recently, watches-dealer reader Griffin C. from Chicago, Illinois, joined me here in Los Angeles for a few days of geeking-out watchnerd-style and to attend The World's Most Expensive Watches book party with us. This was a result of Griffin winning a giveaway prize early in the year that we had intended to experience with him over the summer. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the originally planned trip to the watch maker RGM in Pennsylvania was cancelled by RGM, and resulted in a dispute between the company and watches-dealer that the online watch community has discussed a few months ago.

A Watch Idol Encounter: Flavor Flav

His large, neck-worn timepieces offer a fantastic comparison point when attempting to phrase, in real-world terms, the hyperbolistic size of a large wrist watch.?

Hello Everyone... Good to See You. Again.
Hello everyone, good to see such friendly faces (um Avatars and handles) .I guess I'm back! With all my friends too boot.

Greetings from another WTF newbie!
Since I skipped any kind of intro, I thought I'd go back and write one .I haven't been buying watches for very long...but so far it's been really fun to pick up a watch here and there when one catches my eye. I don't really look for one brand over another, and while I can appreciate a nice movement, I'm probably more of a case/dial guy. Most of the time, the watches that really appeal to me are pre-'60.Here are a few of my watches to show the kind of stuff I'm into.
