Watch Winner Follow-Up: Wryst Airborne FW3
This is a follow-up review from Derique Y. in Singapore, winner of the Wryst Airborne FW3 Limited Edition watch giveaway on watches-dealer in May.I've been following watches-dealer (formerly aBlogtoRead) for many years now, lapping up sweet images of watches that I could probably never afford, and half the time trying to imagine that hairy arm of Ariel's is mine instead.Every now and then, watches-dealer will throw out a watch for someone to win. Participating was simple, commenting on the post and liking some pages. I once commented on a giveaway and just like every other lucky draw I've participated in, I always came out empty, little surprise. Then there were other giveaways that I never bothered with simply because I could not care less about those watches.. dull and bland with no ounce of uniqueness.One day, along came a wildly designed watch from WRYST, in striking green and black. The case was unique; flared exoskeleton in DLC coating protecting the crown and pushers. I like big

It pays to have a goal!
Towards the end of the year I created a section in my "Watch Wishlist" document (yes, I have an actual list!) called "Going For", which was a list of the handful of watches on my full list that I was actively targeting. I haven't paid it much attention since then, but have a look at how it looks now!!Going ForBlue Sumo doneYellow Jellyfish doneSinn 857 doneOmega Great White incomingLum-Tec V1 incomingI have always heard that writing down you goal almost magically helps you achieve them - and it seems to have worked! I need to do some consolidating now, though!!!

15300 or 15400 in Montreal anyone ?
Hi Everyone, especially the AP lovers up north.I was wondering if there was anyone around willing for a small GTG so I can try a 15300 ? Reason I am asking is that none are in store at the swiss in Montreal. Before jumping on a nice new one I found I would prefer to try it and see it in the flesh. Either will do to help with the decision.Willing to pay coffee or Dominic

Sell Panerai to make way for another, or add?
Hi everyone, I¡¯m after some advice please.I currently have a Panerai 40mm GMT (PAM 244) and a Rolex Sea Dweller (ceramic 116600). I bought the Panerai brand new in January 2008 and it¡¯s a fantastic watch. I wanted it for about five years before I eventually got it (originally I wanted the 159 but it became the 244 after some time). Nearly 10 years later the watch is still with me, in virtually as new condition as I don¡¯t wear my nice watches that often and when I do I¡¯m very careful.I recently started looking at Panerai again and have come across the 1392 (42mm 1950 case etc). I managed to try it on and it feels better on the wrist than my 244 - lighter weight, and thinner, so it doesn¡¯t feel as top heavy.The question is, do I buy the 1392 and add it, or do I sell the 244? I¡¯m concerned I will miss the 244 after having had it so long. I have made a certain attachment to it! If I sell it I don¡¯t know how much I will get but I think I might feel it is worth more to me than the money I re

Panerai convert here
Hello, this is my first visit to Panerai forum. I only saw these watches in photos and was never really attracted to them.However, I saw my first one in the wild that an aquantice had on and I gotta tell ya, it looked great. Big and beautiful with black face dial. In pictures I never liked the rounded guard but in person it worked real well and flowed with overall aestics. I guess this is why you never say never
