Watch Industry Wishes For 2012
This is an interesting article I did for Departures that I felt would be of interest to my aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer readers. It involves my wishes for 2012 (and slightly beyond) in terms of what I want the watch industry to focus on. Check it out here at the Departures International website.

Introduction of IWC Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth Watch
IWC Schaffhausen has created the timepiece specifically to commemorate the voyage of four months Plastiki - an event that will attract the attention of the public to questions of the footprint of human on oceans and the considerable potential for sustainable development. Watches IWC Ingenieur automatic Mission Earth is made from stainless steel. Equipped with full protection for the winding Crown shoulder screw-down, the robust case is a full 46 millimetres in diameter and 15 mm in height. Corresponding to the finely structured blue rubber strap is the dial, featuring distinctive indications which imply association with the Plastiki expedition. One other unique Memorial detail is the locked screw with its complex engraving that displays the logo of the ecology of the adventure expedition. Under the commemorative casing of IWC Ingenieur automatic Mission Earth timepiece is an internal protection of soft-iron hull.

any omega experts?!?! I need some help!!
I inherited a certain omega from my grandfather and I have no clue if it's a valuable timepiece or not.. Then i found out that Omega came out with the same exact watch as I have in their museum piece collection REFERENCE 5704.60.02. The only difference is that the original one is yellow gold, if anyone has a clue on how much the ORIGINAL one costs or just a clue of its value please let me know!! I just figured that if omega came out with the same one for its museum collection then it must be kinda precious right??

First Rolex��- Sky Dweller TT Black dial
After many close calls finally got first Rolex. Not expecting anything from AD, was shown the watch 15 minutes later walked out with it. Owned many Others but never a Rolex.

What a lovely day! Double incoming!
Went to the AD today, which I never visited before and what a day it was! I was thinking to get me a second pair of watch, because my platona is too beautiful to be a beater lol. I was considering to buy a sub, but this AD had a Sub Date is stock which I tried and fell in love. I had a hulk before, but black one is so beautiful. My wife was never a watch fan before but I was thinking to buy her some kind of Rolex sport watch to share my passion. I offered her to try 268622 which is perfect size for her wrist. Blue second hand is so beautiful. She loved it from the first glance...Wrist shots are coming tomorrow!
