Whether you buy watches from brick and mortar retailers or prefer to buy watches online, these are the stores that help shape our watch culture around the globe. There is a long list of stores to cover, but if there is a retail location in your favorite city that we simply can't miss, let us know in the comments below. Here is a map of stores we have covered so far.Where to buy watches in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?After being in business for nearly a century (they will have their 100th anniversary next year), you would expect a traditional jeweler like Govberg Jewelers to be rooted in the past and in their hometown of Philadelphia.

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro Review
We've reviewed many Christopher Ward watches since we started worn&wound, but somehow we've never reviewed one of their most popular models; the C60 Trident Pro. Well, it's time to correct that. This watch is not just exceedingly popular because of its classic diver looks, it's also because it offers a tremendous value that few other watches can compete with. Swiss made, Selitta SW200 movement, 4mm thick sapphire crystal make this $535-$635, strap option depending, a great deal.Christopher Ward doesn't dance around the inspiration of the Trident line with language like "based on a certain famous watch" they go straight for it, saying that the watch takes its cues from the 1954 Rolex GMT Master.

Ss bracelet for diver

Submariner Help
I think it's time I added a Submariner to my happy gathering. I've had lots of different Rolex models over the last four years but somehow never a Sub. I think it's time. I'm not going to buy it anytime soon because I'm just so torn between models. I want to take my time and try them all on at an AD. Problem is (as is well documented in several posts) there are no Hulks to try on. I'm certainly not going to pay above MSRP, so that might rule the Hulk out. But I have it down to these three:Submariner with date Hulk BluseyI know there's no wrong answer here and they are all amazing in their own right. But as much as possible I'd love some insight from the experts on here. In particular if someone's owned all three of them. If so, which one gets the most wrist time.Thanks,Mike
