Orient Mako Dive Watch Winner Follow Up
In August I held a giveaway for an Orient Mako Diver watch. I asked the winner to send an image with the watch on his wrist as a follow up to show all of you. Like all aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer readers, he was busy in his work and personal life, but was finally able to get a snapshot for me to share with all of you. Here are a few meaningful words that Eric W. wanted to share with about the Orient Mako CEM65001B dive watch that he won on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer:"The Orient Mako Diver watch is a terrific watch! I must admit that I was a bit skeptical for how an automatic watch in this price range would be, but I have been wearing this watch for over a week and it has performed beautifully. It is very accurate and is durable. I can tell that people that see the watch often do double-takes. They seem to be wondering if it is an Omega, a Rolex, or a Blancpain.The watch comes in a beautiful box. There is no question in my mind that Orient makes the best automatic watches for the money.

Calling out for ap expert!
Hi this is my first post on this web..I'm in a bit of a dilemma and need help from u expert out here. I've recently got a budget available and I was so certain that my mind was made on a 5980 white dial at a unbelievably low price. This was until I stop by an ap store and saw a Schumacher ti. I know both are very different type of watch but I did fell in love with both of them in a different way. My judgement in the end would however come down to which of these model will retain price better. In my own experience Patek tend to hold its value very well but I have no knowledge on the le piece for audemar. Any opinion or advise would be greatly appreciated thank u
