BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends 23 October, 2015
To close October, we are turning our attention to the city of Hong Kong, which is surely one of the most significant market for watches. Hong Kong, as some of you may know, is the single largest market for watches. It continues to the lead the world in terms of value for Swiss watch exports. Last year, it imported over 4.1 billion CHF worth of Swiss watches, nearly double that of the United States. And along with neighboring China, it's also one of the world's largest exporters of watches. So this month, we decided to check out the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and also Watches & Wonders 2015. Check out what we saw in this month's round-up below.Our visits to Hong Kong aside, we also look at new watches from SevenFriday, Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Omega. Finally, we check out Greubel Forsey's deceptively simple-looking Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision to find out how much work actually goes into the watch. And, still on the subject of high-end watches and finishing, we examine

Where it all started...
Back in 1981, this Seiko was on my father's wrist daily. I remember gawking over the design and look.While at dinner a little while back, I noticed my father wearing it. I told him how much I liked the watch and showed him my AP. (He's not much of a watch guy, but I could see how he appreciated the AP). After I explained to my wife the history with that watch, my father took it off his wrist and gave it to me.Gonna give it a little tlc and enjoy it. It's got a permanent spot in my collection.

Black dial 5960/1A at my AD (UK), PM me if interested...
...just a heads up if anyone is looking, tempted myself but timing isn't great. No tyre kickers, if you're genuinely interested I can pass on the details, They are a great AD to deal with and they don't expect to receive another.John

Tudor Black Bay Chronograph
I am strongly considering purchasing the Tudor Black Bay Chronograph watch with the suede leather strap. I don't see this watch discussed much and would love your candid thoughts. Thanks!https://.tudorwatch/watches/b...no/m79350-0002

Any love left...
...for the original Deepsea with the Black dial...
