Linde Werdelin Journalistic Piece On Selectism.com
You of course know that I cover the Linde Werdelin brand watches often. I have a good relationship with the people there, and quite like their innovative watches. A refreshing brand that offers a truly unique watch line that also sits firmly as a luxury brand. I tend to talk mostly about their products, but you may be curious about other details related to the brand. Selectism has a nice feature where they discuss the brand in a journalistic article that sheds new light on what goes on there, and who is behind the striking designs.Read the Selectism article about Linde Werdelin here.

Hi everyone,I am new and am hoping to join the Longines famiy of watch owners by purchasing my first piece sometime soon.I have come across someone selling a pre-loved Longines Dolcevita and was hoping I could run some of the details past your expert eyes to see if you think there is anything I should be concerned about.PRE-LOVED LONGINES DOLCEVITA PEARL DIAMONDS SWISS WATCH L51584846Amazing & Elegant Women's Longines WatchGreat ConditionLow starting price RRP $2,100 Model # L51584846Manufacturer Box & Manual11 diamonds = 0.027 caratWhite Mother of Pearl Diamond DialScratch Resistant Sapphire CrystalPolished Steel Case & BraceletGuaranteed Authentic30 Meters / 100 Feet Water ResistantBattery Operated Quartz Movement20.4mm x 16mm = 3/4" x 5/8" Case6" Adjustable BraceletDeployment BucklePressure Fitted Case BackI've attached the photos as well.

Real Customer Care
A recent thread got me to thinking about just how much care and contact some companys give and I want to point out an exceptional example of customer contact/care.RAYMOND WEIL. If you have never been to see how they take care of their customers you will be surprised. Welcome gifts, VIP club for watch owners, free tickets for sponsored worldwide events, contests etc.Yesterday when I was at their site, I requested the newest Jazz compilation CD for members. I can listen to Jazz thru their site as I surf the web. This company wants loyal customers and shows it. Amazing how much they want to do for customers. Now I know that RW is somewhat overlooked (why I don't know) by many WIS, but it is to their disadvantage. I'm not trying to shill their stuff, just trying to point out overlooked quality, customer care and give credit where it is due. I saw some of their stuff this weekend and it was very nice indeed. Stop by their site and the RW club and be amazed at the level of customer care and

Small specks under the crystal
Just had my AD send my 3 week old Breitling Airwolf Raven back to BUSA. I recently noticed that in a few areas there are very tiny specks of something, looks like dust is the only way I can explain, under (inside) the crystal. They are very hard to see but once you know they are there then it's all I look at. Has anyone else had this problem?

Should this defect be a 'no deal'? Or no big deal! ?
I have been searching for this watch for months. I decided I wanted it right when Omega discontinued it. :(Problem is, the listing says 88% good, 'lume flake on the dial'.Is this going to really be a big deal being able to read the time?I was so impatient waiting to find this watch, I did buy the 36mm but I don't LOVE it. And even though I love the lume, it doesn't say bright very long and I don't look at it much. I mostly just check the time in the daylight.And I want it for daily wear and perfection and future value in this used watch isn't all that important to me. Size and comfort and the ability to read the time well is more important.Got any photos of 'lume flake'?.ebay/itm/130590211275...ht_8464wt_1034Suzy
