Dietrich OTC Watch Is Pretty Cool For �1,000
The boutique, relatively affordable, watch brand Dietrich will soon release a brand new model that we think is going to be rather cool for the price. Their new watch is called the Dietrich OTC (OTC-A01), and rather than "over the counter," that stands for "Organic Time Chronometer." Sound like a lot of hype? Well the name certainly is. The piece isn't a COSC certified chronometer and while the design is fluid and organic in style, I don't think the OTC was grown in field without the use of pesticide. Having said that, Dietrich does make a cool watch and there is a lot to look forward to here.We first encountered Dietrich back in 2011 when we gave a hands-on look at the Dietrich Snow watch. The founder and designer Emmanuel Dietrich is back for 2014 with a watch that he claims now "perfectly matches his exceptions." It is good to know that the designer himself is pleased with the end result. See the "1969" on the dial. I am not sure what that means right now but I can say that the offic

Incoming!! My First Patek Philippe: 5712/1A-001Hi everyone,Just picked up my first Patek.Probably my only Patek, as I feel when it comes to Patek you don't really feel the urge of having more than one (unlike Rolex unfortunately).It's been quite a journey during the last couple of yrs with my watch collection but I have finally matured and starting to keep the pieces that mean something in the collection.I currently have 8 Watches and will probably stop at 9: 1 Patek1 AP (coming soon)5 Rolex 2 OmegaI've uploaded a review of my 5712 if your interested: https://youtu.be/RxcE2t9hPOML.W.CSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My new 5167
Stopped into the AD yesterday, left with a new toy. I'd been eyeing the Aquanaut for a few months, my AD had the travel time on display. It has amazing wrist presence and the complication is so alluring. However I really wanted to try on the 5167, lower price and currently more elusive. I also admire the simplicity of the time/date. Anyway here's a wrist shot.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Purchased my first Rolex
I've been a watch aficionado for years and started collecting them seriously about 10 years ago. I had a limited budget, so the richest thing I had in my collection was a 1966 Speedmaster Pro 105.012, which I've loved for years as my favorite watch. When I bought my Speedy it was still within my budget, but a bit of a stretch, at a whopping $2500. Now that it has appreciated in value 3-4x what I paid, I decided to pass it along to the next person who will value it. And I figured it would be a momentous occasion to use the proceeds for my first Rolex!So, I purchased a Datejust 36mm silver, stick dial from Alan Furman Jewelers and it just showed up today. While I'll miss the Speedy, and know it will be worth far more in the future than my new Rolex, I'm happy to have owned it and am satisfied it will bring some other collector some joy.And I'm so excited to own my first new Rolex!
