WATCH WINNER REVIEW: Traser Classic Automatic Master Watch
In March?of 2015, the monthly giveaway watch on watches-dealer was a Traser Classic Automatic Master watch. The winner was Sylvain D. from Miami, Florida, USA, and after enjoying his new timepiece, he has shared with us a watch winner review for you ¨C the watches-dealer audience. Thanks to Sylvain?and all the other watch winners who share their experiences with the world. Here is Sylvain's?review:I was really thrilled when I heard that I had won the Traser Classic Automatic Master, one of only two automatic models in Traser¡¯s catalog. This would be my first watch with Tritium tubes, a technology that I had long admired and really wanted to try. On the other hand, I was a bit worried about the size of the watch; at 46mm, this is the largest watch in my collection, and I tend to prefer watches in the 40-42mm range.Appearance:I was pleasantly surprised when I took the watch out of its box: it looks better in the steel than it did in photos. I¡¯m not a big fan of stainless steel bezels with

Swag!
What a great way to end the week! Came home to find this package from a great AD.

Patek: Service, Production, Values and the Company
It seems to me that there are quite a few threads in them with themes about where Patek stands today with respect to;- production quality and qc- service quality and times- the products- what collectors feel about direction of the company under Thierry- the PP seal- volumes of manufacture- investment/residuals/depreciation... and so on and so on.I resolutely feel that all these themes are interrelated and for this reason I wanted to start a consolidated thread on this forum where we could all give our two cents about the state of the company.I don't believe that this has been done yet hence my attempt at this thread and with that being said, I I'll go first.I'll start by saying that I will not consider ANY other watch manufacturer for any product over $25,000. No chance. I consider Patek today the pre-eminent watch maker with an unmatched brand and in the vast majority of cases, an unmatched product.But I have a problem and this problem is OVERPRODUCTION. I believe that PP are produ

Long time sub fan startled by current state of affairs
Hello all,First, I am sure this question has been asked many times before. However, I am hoping it is ok for me to ask it anyway because the current supply demand situation seems to be kind of unique (correct me if I¡¯m wrong).I have been wanting a sub date for many years. I finally am in a position to buy, so I started looking around and Lo and behold I found that the sub happens to be the hottest thing at the moment with no deals to be found. This is my first and possibly only Rolex. I want to get it right and I don¡¯t want to get a bad deal just because I¡¯m excited. Used prices are so close right now to new, that I want to just get it new if I can. I like the idea of getting a new one if it¡¯s only a bit more expensive than a used one. I have talked to my AD and they can get me one in a couple weeks for around 8800 out the door (I¡¯m in California so I pay sales tax).Question for all you wise enthusiasts: Is it wise for me to buy? I have not followed Rolex trends so I am not sure if thi

Favorite Day Date 40 - Several years in
Although like anything Rolex related, the DD40 was unveiled 2.5 years ago to mixed reviews, it has quickly become a modern classic IMO.What does the forum think is the most popular/sought after version of the DD40.Originally, i noticed Rolex marketing the YG - Champagne dial but lately it has been the RG - Olive dial that I've been noticing most (maybe because I own it :smoking:)
