Ariel Adams' 10 Watches Recommended For Anyone
Watches I recommend for anyone to own? That sounds a bit presumptuous, right? Well, it is, but hear me out. In what might end up being a new series of articles here on watches-dealer, I'd like to share with our audience the timepieces that we as individual watch lovers and experts would recommend to any new or veteran collector. In fact, I would go so far as to say that no watch collection is truly complete without including most or all of these models. But let's face it, is any collection of anything ever really complete? Let's hope not.People ask me all the time what watches they should buy at all types of price points. This list of watches is meant to offer something for everyone, but at the same time, there is no watch on here - no matter how inexpensive or luxurious - that one collector cannot enjoy at the same time in the same collection. This list is also subjective and reflects my personal opinions. If you disagree, that's cool - it only means we have different tastes. All I ca

Illinois Spotlight- Viking
The Illinois Viking is one of those watches that is so cool in real life it is hard to describe...The case is larger than most, and the Pattern on the bezel is incredibly interestingand very unique...(FJF) "The Illinois Watch Company Catalog of 1929-1930 described the Viking as "A new Illinois 3/0 size strap watch,very distinctive in appearance. Furnished in 14K white or yellow gold-filled, with the sturdy accurate 17 jewelIllinois movement, and a full luminous dial. Consumer price $42.50.""The 1931 Becken Book called the Viking "An attractive strap-watch - cased so exceptionallysmall that it appears more the size of a 6/0 watch." No way - the watch is huge! (FJF)Fred Friedberg also describes a similar interesting and novel molded bezel design also appears oncertain models of the Beau Brummel. They have a Viking-style bezel on a Beau Brummel size case. Hence they are called Beau Brummel's with Viking bezels.(The Illinois Watch- The Life and Times of a Great American Watch Company)I

How easy is it to replace a bezel?
I damaged my bezel on my PO and replaced with one that I did not know was not OEM so now my PO looks fake so I ordered a OEM one. I would like not to send my watch back in to be repaired if I could do it myself.

SubC to SD43 back to SubC
So my journey started with the SubC for a few weeks last year, Basel 2017 hit and the SD43 releases, I called my AD and I was first on the list. Sold the SubC and waited for the SD43. I should have kept the subC to compare but I couldn’t afford It at the time. When it arrived in June 2017 I was in love, the 22mm bracelet the case size ect. Wrist presents is there, the bling and all. Well with my 6.75 wrist size I nearly pulled it off and I did, i wore a 44mm Luminox for work so the big 43mm was normal for me. What got me turned off about the SD43 was the thickness and weight. I probably wouldn’t venture into PM if the weight already an issue. I had to wear the watch a lil snug so the watch head won't flop around, I wear my watches all day and I also go to sleep with it on, waking up with a tight watch on the wrist is not comfortable. Being 43mm and 15mm tall, it got in way at times. I had to be extra careful not to bang it getting out my car and avoiding door
