Affiliate Marketing, Watch Shopping, and Design Knock-Offs
Affiliate marketing, in a nut shell, is when an site that sells a product pays a site that draws a customer to the product seller's site. The two entities here are the advertiser (has product to sell), and the publisher (drives traffic). An enormous trend these days, is recommendation-based affiliate marketing. Essentially, when a publisher promotes a product or service by writing an article about it and referring it. This natural-looking marketing seems to work wonders with consumers looking for product reviews.Watches are a bit different than most products, because writing a review on them is very difficult. First, most people don't really care about the quality or craftsmanship of a watch, it is the price, then the look that matters. Second, after talking about the actual features and construction of the watch, the matter of taste is highly personal. There have been watches people love, and I just cannot seem to appreciate (Rolex Datejust for example, it is the fluting on the bezel

Satin Evolution
I was out at lunch today and saw an EVO on a guys wrist that looked like someone had taken a scotchbrite to the entire watch I asked him about it and in fact he did Scotchbrite the whole watch and it looked amazing it was his daily wear watch and he said he was tired of the scratches. It had what I would describe as light to medium grey face with white sub dials.We ended up eating lunch together as this all happened at subway, and talked watches and football the entire time.

A Year On The Wrist
Since I got my watch just about a year ago, I thought I'd do a longish writeup of my experience. Some of my comments will pertain to all Rolexes and not just my platinum Daytona.A quick summary: I got a two-tone Datejust in 1985, wore it daily until last year and always thought it was one of the great purchases of my life. But in the summer of 2016, I started to ponder the idea of getting a second watch. I got intrigued with the new SS Daytonas, fell in love, and put down a deposit on one. I then discovered TRF, lost my patience, and splurged on a platinum version that was about a year old. I know that isn't a choice everyone can make, and I also know I seldom desire really extravagant things, so this wasn't just a splurge of the month for me.The watch has been fantastic! I admit I don't usually second guess my very, very occasional major purchases (thankfully) and this has been no exception. I love the weight of the watch, the look of the dial and bezel, and everything about it
