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.

Angular Momentum La Boulle Classic Damascus Watch
Here is another artful creation from Angular Momentum that has caught my eye. Using beautiful Damascus steel, the La Boulle Classic Damascus watch combines the unique type of metal work with Angular Momentum's common disc display dial and case. The dial is purely minimalistic. A black sapphire crystal has a window opening to a white color disc. There is a line applied to the window so that you can read the time. The disc moves once around the dial each 12 hours. It may not be the most precise way of reading the time, but it does give way to a world of possibilities when it comes to what to do with the rest of the dial.

Sometimes, you simply have a watch design where the case and dial together make for an artistic statement. The latter design concept helps to frame the La Boulle Classic Damascus watch.What does that mean, exactly? An art watch versus a standard watch> Or

1st Omega: Speedmaster 3573.50 vs 3570.50
Happy new years, WTF!I'm in the market for my first Omega and am deciding between the 3573.50 and the 3570.50. Unless I've missed something, the only differences I can tell are the hesalite (3570.50) vs sapphire crystal and the clear back (3573.50) w/ retail price difference being about $900.I would like to get all of your advice on a couple things:How easily does the hesalite scratch ie will it start looking beat up from regular wear after a few months?Is there any "historical" or other value associated with either one of these that I should factor into my decision? Thanks.

Seiko: World's best?
I started a thread over in the GF asking folks to rate watch brands.I surprised myself by giving the No. 1 spot to Seiko.I think the fit and finish on high-end pieces is the best in the world. I like that the company controls every part of it's manufacturing process and has an on-going commitment to technological development.What's your take?
