Maligned Marketing: Apple Tactics
As a product enthusiast I tend to have very strong opinions regarding how a company presents itself. Marketing and sales tactics, while not necessarily consumer friendly conversation is one of the most important parts of doing business. We have all had good and bad experiences with a company, for no business is perfect. However, when a company imbues anti-consumer sentiment right into their sales method and product development, I get really pissed off.So is the case with my continuing dislike (verging on hatred) of Apple. I will forgo talking about many of the things I like to point out that Apple does wrong and stick with the iPhone for this conversation.

I was very surprised to say that least, and it was ironic, because not a week before I had signed up with AT&T. Because I loved the phone I

2015 Class Photo
Since I have recently refocused my collecting efforts on vintage Omega, I wanted to share this year's class photo. The only watch I already had in my collection prior to 2015 was the jumbo bumper Seamaster that I got in 1987 at an estate auction when I was 7.

Can anyone give me any info on this OMEGA Constellation? PART 2
Hi, got this OMEGA Constellation Pie-Pan Dial handed down from my dad, looks gold plated to me, with the gold finish wearing off. Guessing 1960s - early 1970s. Couldn't find a any models or bands similar. If i was to recondition this like my rolex overhaul few years back, is it going to set me back another $800 like the rolex? Maybe it's not worth overhauling at all?? Would they add more gold polishing??? Thanks for looking!!

Duck For Cover ... PANDA INCOMING!!!
This story starts from the time i got my Alpha PN watch. It was panda dial with acrylic dome crystal. Just a lovely watch ... only problem it did not last too long in my watch box because the watch had no date. This was the turning point in my life that i realized i will never be a Daytona owner for exactly the same reason ... it had no date.And so my search for perfect Chono Date watch had begun. After many long hours of searching and looking my choices were reduced to two watches.Tudor Tiger - panda dialandOmega 3210.50After some more time of hard thinking i decided to skip Tudor and go with Omega 3210.50. I placed my order with prestigetime for 3210.50 when i came across Omega Panda 323.30.40.40.04.001. Instantly i was hooked on this Panda beauty which reminded me about the Alpha PN i once had only Omega had a date. After sleepless night and much of deliberation on my part i called up prestigetime and told them to cancel my order 3210.50 and instead ship me 323.30.40.40.04.001 and s
