Apple Watch: The Way And Why To Enjoy A Smartwatch For One Horological Enthusiast
? Mark Alberhasky / IMAGEMAPlease enjoy this guest post on the Apple Watch for watches-dealer by professional photographer and watch enthusiast Mark Alberhasky, founder of IMAGEMAwatches-dealer.I remember exactly the moment the Apple Watch was unveiled to the world. And as soon as the beauty shots and video hit the screen, I knew I faced a conundrum: How will this fit in among my collection of fine timepieces, and will my passion for watches disappear among ones and zeros? These were questions not easily answered, but I had many months to grapple with the ramifications, none of which could actually be resolved until the hype cleared and The Watch physically materialized.Although I knew my enthusiasm for all things Apple guaranteed I would buy the Apple Watch at the earliest opportunity, acquiring one, ironically, became something of a quest. As a professional photographer in my current life, I was scheduled to be in Costa Rica the night orders would go live on the Apple website. Determ

Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date Review

Then, shortly after, at Basel they revealed a new line, the Big Crown ProPilots. Of what we saw in Basel last year, these watches were amongst our favorites.

AP Forged Carbon Chrono weight

Why I am no longer thinking about getting an AP
Because I got one! Thanks for all the comments in my last thread regarding my debate between the Diver and the 15400 or 15202. I tried on all three (yes, my AD had a 15202 in the back, not on display) and the one that really sang to me was the Diver. Today is my first day of wearing it and I've found that it fits very comfortably on my 6.5 wrist and I don't think it looks too big at all. Anyway, here are a few pics...

New rolex rose gold fades!
My 2007 Rose gold president has faded in color, as compared to the 2010 model. It isn't supposed to fade according to Rolex, and it now looks halfway closer to yellow gold, than to a new Rose gold model. It was purchased from Demesy in Texas. A reputable dealer.Has anyone else had this problem?Trumpet
