WATCH WINNER REVIEW: Davosa Vanguard Automatic
As a special supplementary watch giveaway in June 2015, watches-dealer audience members had a chance to win a Davosa Vanguard Automatic watch. The winner, Anthony E. has followed-up with a watch winner review of his new watch below. Thanks to him and everyone who participates in watches-dealer giveaways.First and foremost, I am extremely fortunate and very proud to have won such a beautiful timepiece. My heartfelt appreciation and thanks to the watches-dealer and Massdrop teams for making this timepiece available in the contest. I actually became interested in the Davosa brand when I first saw it featured in the 2013 Wristwatch Annual catalog publication of fine timepieces¡­ and as luck would have it, you have made it possible for me to own Davosa¡¯s latest design. Thank you!Last but not least, I tip my hat to the Davosa team for creating the Davosa Vanguard model. The wristwatch is a cut above some of my other high-end watches in the same price range that include Maurice Lacroix, TAG He

is 19 too young for a Patek?
Do you think 19 is too young for a Patek Philippe? I am thinking about giving my son a Patek Gondolo for his 19th birthday. He is a very mature and responsible 19 year old, I should add, and he also has an appreciation for fine watches. I tried to steer him towards Rolex, but he seemed to really like Patek, since they are more non-chalant and of higher quality. So what do you think, 19 is too young? Is there a right age for owning a fine timepiece such as Patek?

For those is it safe threads???
Let me know. LOL

Am I crazy to sell?
After a long search for a new 114060 in the UK - and frustration with the random rubbish ADs were telling me about wait lists - I finally gave up and bought a new one while on holiday in Cologne in Dec 2017. Even then only one AD in the city had one in stock and they were reluctant to sell it to me. Sadly with the poor exchange rate I paid the EURO tax and effectively bought over UK retail.Cut to today, and I fear I'm going to have to sell it as **IF** I've not been fibbed to I'm getting close to the top of the wait list for a BLNR locally and will need to somehow pay for it **OR** I quite fancy a BB inhouse instead, something I can wear every day without worrying too much about it.I was offered 5100-5300 from a well know watch purchasing company. Of course I would refuse to sell unless they go with 5300, but even at that prie am I crazy to sell at that? Is it worth holding onto it?What do people think?Apologies for the indecision. This is my most expensive watch, and I really pus
