Magrette Moana Pacific Watch Giveaway Winner
It is a definite indication that you readers are serious watch lovers when you are willing to kindly provide a photo update after winning a nice watch. Last month's aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer watch giveaway was for New Zealand's own Magrette Moana Pacific watches, and winner Chris K. shares with us his thoughts and some 'wrist candy' for you see. Here are a few words from him, and images (he did his best to capture the watch. You can always see more pics in my review of the Moana Pacific timepiece here. Also, quick note to you all, the lovely box that you see the Moana Pacific in and resting on does not come with the standard Moana Pacific watch. It is an upgraded watch box that can be upgraded to. Magrette specially included it here for the winner of the aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer watch giveaway. Here are some words from the winner himself:"I have to say that the watch is a pleasure to wear and to look at, and my wife agrees it is both masculine and classy. I was a bit worried it would

decisions, decisions
so i finally decided to pick up an ETO but i can't decide which one i want. my plan all along was to get a watch that would look good with a black rubber sport strap (more for everyday use) as well as a brown leather strap (to dress it up a little). this will be the only watch that i really wear, so i want something that will look good with both straps. i've narrowed it down to two ETOs, H77612333 - black face with black rubber strap and H77622553 - silver face with brown leather strap. whatever one i get, i would buy the other strap separately. the problem is that i like the black rubber strap best with the black face, and i like the brown leather strap best with the silver face. unfortunately, buying both is not an option! this is all new to me and you guys are the experts. so what does everyone think? i know it comes down to personal preference, but considering both straps, should i go with the black face or silver face?

More Image Copyright Violations From Ariel Adams
You may recall that a couple of months ago, I revealed that Ariel Adams had violated my copyrights by reproducing my photos on his for profit blog without my permission on his "A Blog To Read." I've now found evidence of further violations.Check out this entry on Adams' site: ablogtoread/bernhardt/ber...eadcom-reader/Two of the photographs in the entry on Adams' site are from my review of the Bernhardt Instruments Globemaster from back in 2006: rolexreferencepage/Gl...obemaster.htmlApparently, the article in question wasn't even written by Adams. The typical blogger like Adams are so eager to populate their blogs with anything that will generate keyword "hits" and bring in traffic, they often "borrow" content they themselves do not organically generate. In many cases (particularly with photos they borrow) they have no idea who owns the copyright, and they don't bother to check. So the entry in question is credited as being by "-Anonymous aBlogtoRead reader." So Adams could have

Speedy c321 chrono reset button question
When I push the reset button on the chrono it resets correctly with a click of the reset button. If I push the reset button again, even thought the chrono has been reset, the reset button clicks again. On my other chronos, a second push of the reset button results in a soft, no click motion. Question: On the Speedy Pro c321, is it normal for the reset button to click even though the chrono has already been reset?Thanks

Recommended Patek AD dealer in HK
Looking at acquiring my first Patek around Christmas or Chinese New Year. I currently work/live in southern China so going into Hong Kong is very convenient for me.I stepped into the Patek Boutique in HK to try on the models I'm looking at and to get pricing. They offered 10% discount without much effort but I would prefer to go through someone's trusted AD if possible.Does anybody have one they can refer me to?Thanks in advance.
