aBlogtoRead.com Traffic Control Warns Of Delays
As you know aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer has been currently working to make itself at home on a new, more powerful server. The initial migration was only partially successful. Which is why aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer currently has limited functionality. For instance you can't contact me vial e-mail here, though there is always Twitter. Tweet me here at aBlogtoRead.The short of it is that aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer will be experiencing more down time this weekend. 48 hours max, on and off. So wish me luck, and know that all of this will be cleared up soon. I won't stop until it is back at 110%. I'll be back with more watch love so very soon.

Major jump in prices on Vintage Watchco Seamaster builds!
I was just checking Ebay for Vintage Seamaster 300s as I often do, and came across a few Watchco listings for their newly built Vintage Seamaster 300. They had been asking a buy it now of $3700 just a few weeks ago. Today the buy it now is $4400.I knew the day would come that the prices on these would go through the roof...that time is now. As some of you are aware I built three of these in the last few months and due to price increases I have stopped doing builds of my own. Glad I got in on them while they were still reasonable. One of my builds is still my daily wearer and favorite watch I have ever owned.If anyone is considering one, or has been, you better get one now before they are $5000.

Advice re repair info please
I would appreciate a little advice please. Be much appreciated. We're in the UK, in Edinburgh Scotland.I bought a 116201 oyster bimetal rose gold white roman dial (used) from a reputable Rolex offical outlet a couple of years ago. I gave it to my father as a present. He dropped it and it stopped working so he took it into said retailer.We assumed (and I believe he was told) it was sent to Rolex. Had an email today (from the retailer) with no info from Rolex but advising new glass and crown as well as a service. We were not aware either of those were damaged. The email says The Rolex watch you left with us has been professionally examined by head watch technicians then goes on to say Rolex have advised the replacement parts.I have asked them to forward info from Rolex which has so far been met with silence. I feel as though they are pushing the additions which might be unnecessary. Should we be given info from Rolex and/or can we contact Rolex to discuss the work? You can imagine for ex
