As a special supplementary watch giveaway in June 2015, watches-dealer audience members had a chance to win a Davosa Vanguard Automatic watch. The winner, Anthony E. has followed-up with a watch winner review of his new watch below. Thanks to him and everyone who participates in watches-dealer giveaways.First and foremost, I am extremely fortunate and very proud to have won such a beautiful timepiece. My heartfelt appreciation and thanks to the watches-dealer and Massdrop teams for making this timepiece available in the contest. I actually became interested in the Davosa brand when I first saw it featured in the 2013 Wristwatch Annual catalog publication of fine timepieces�� and as luck would have it, you have made it possible for me to own Davosa's latest design. Thank you!Last but not least, I tip my hat to the Davosa team for creating the Davosa Vanguard model.

Omega has been mighty impressive lately, releasing watches that are not only aesthetically attractive but also technically competent. One of their biggest announcements this year at Baselworld was its new Master Co-axial movement. Any Omega watch with this movement is virtually anti-magnetic, and not only that, comes with a longer than average warranty. And in this roundup, we will be taking a closer look at Omega's new Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial watches, which have been fitted with this new movement.Next, we visit the workshops of a little known brand called Julien Coudray 1518 and find out why they are one of the few true blue-blooded manufactures in the business. We also take the time to talk to legendary director James Cameron about his relationship with Rolex and his thoughts about the recently released Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller D-Blue dial watch. Finally, we examine some of the pitfalls a watch owner might face when it is time for his watch to be serviced, and also learn how to s

Maybe not for me...
I took out my 15300 out of the bank today, I am going to Zurich tomorrow and was planning on leaving it to my AD to make the service, it's unworn but sitting in safes since 2009, made the oils dry up and it needs a service.But I have been looking at it and feeling it for one hour now, and can't explain why but I am a little underwhelmed, I thought it was perfect as my 3 PP are ultra thin, and my AP diver extra thick, to have something a little thicker, I don't know why but I am not impatient to be able to wear it, to be honest it's not that I don't like it, but can't say it does something to me.When I saw the Jumbo I really found it awesome, while the 15400 didn't touch me in the slightest.I think I won't do the service, will leave it untouched in the safe, and probably sell it to finance a piece later on that I really want, for now there is nothing on my radar, well there are watches I love, but way to expensive for'me at the moment.I need to see the Jumbo again, if I really love it a

Omega Service: Good or Bad?
Hi everyone!Just want ask what is everyone's opinion/experience with Omega Service Centres? I bought a pre-owned ladies MOP Aqua Terra which I have just gifted to my sister. The watch was originally bought in the US in 2005 (I live in the UK) and is now going back to the US to my sister in San Francisco. It had a full service 18 months ago by by qualified watchmaker here in the UK. I just wonder should my sister want to have it fully serviced in the future, is it worth her sending it to Omega USA? I have read that Omega's customer service on the whole is not always consistent and I wonder what are others' experience is like. Thanks!Wen
