Welcome watches-dealer, The New aBlogtoRead
You've probably noticed a few changes around here. Welcome to a redesigned and renamed aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer, which will from here on out be known as "watches-dealerwatches-dealer." I'd like to tell you a bit about some of the new features, and what we feel is a great new way to enjoy your favorite watch website.Five years ago in 2007 when I started aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer I didn't know that it was going to be an "all watch" website - which might explain the original name of the site. A few weeks after I started the blog it became clear to me that it was going to focus on watches, perhaps exclusively. For a while I toyed with the idea of changing the name, but it never happened. I even went so far as to register a few possible new domain names. One, that was an obvious choice (as even indicated by early readers and friends of the site) was "watches-dealer." I don't need to explain why the new name makes sense, and hope you welcome it.The reason for my long-standing hesitation in

Interesting stuff on Orient
Orient ¨C mechanical magnitude Here is a watchmaking quiz for you - which company has produced more than 80 million mechanical watches in-house since the 1950s? Give up? The Orient Watch Company from Japan. February 18, 2008 By Sophie Furley The origin of Orient dates back to 1901 when Shogoro Yoshida opened a wholesale shop of watches in Ueno, one of the commercial districts in downtown Tokyo. The wristwatch manufacturing company was founded later, in the 1950s, and has been producing watches non-stop ever since. The Orient name may not be as well known as some of the other Japanese watch giants, but with some dramatic new models, the stability of over half a century of history and a reputation for offering excellent value for money, the company has everything to make itself heard in the international brand arena. Orient manufactures and distributes more than two million watches a year, over one million of which are mechanical watches with in-house movements. The latest figures from th

Vintage Speedy Service Question
Hi Everyone- I need some advice regarding servicing of my father¡¯s vintage Speedmaster. I¡¯ve received a diagnostic test from Omega and they¡¯ve said that even with the full service the waterproofness of the piece cannot be guaranteed due to excessive wear of the case¡­ That seems odd to me because new gaskets, seals, etc. will be put in (verified with the rep). Also, they will change my hands to luminova but will leave the original tritium dial. Has anyone heard of the waterproof issue? Is there anyone in the tri-state area that is trusted to service Omega watches to keep the piece vintage?If the chronograph didn't develop an issue I'd have never brought it in but unfortunately a service is needed one way or anotherThanks in advance!

Patek Nautilus 40 anniversary models
Hi All,just heard from the rep. that Patek is about to introduce two models of Nautilus for 40yrs anniversary.1. 5711/1P (Platinum) 700pcs2. 5729/1G (5980 in white gold with possible diamond on dial) 1300pcsNote:both models will have 40th anniversary imprints on the blue dial :)

5980 Black or Blue?
I think the blue dial is infinitely more interesting and beautiful than the black dial, but I'm convinced the black dial will match just about everything I wear. The blue dial seems like it will really pop with the right clothes but clash more with the wrong outfit. I'm looking for thoughts on this to help me decide which dial for an every day and only sport watch. I searched the topic expecting to find thirty or so threads like on the Rolex Forum (daily white or black dial Daytona/Explorer II ;)) but can it be I'm the first to ask or care? (doubts it). Thanks in advance for the advice, or the redirect to the same topic if I missed it somehow, or apologies for another boring question! :)
