Watch Winner Follow-Up: Egard Shade Black
Below is a watch winning reader review from Jesse S. of Los Angeles, regarding the Egard Shade Black timepiece that he won on watches-dealer:As the winner of the October 2013 watches-dealer giveaway, I can tell you the Egard Black Shade limited edition watch fits in well in the city of Los Angeles. Dress codes are a rarity in LA, however, being functional as well as stylish is still the name of the game. The Egard Black Shade watch beautifully captures both of these elusive qualities while working as an elegant dress watch or a casual sport piece.Founded and designed by Ilan Srulovicz, the Egard brand is new to the watch scene. Egard was formed as a tribute from a son to his father and seeks to, create inspiring luxury pieces that embody the depth of emotion we each feel for the person in our lives who has defined our own important moments (seems like a lot of pressure to make a cool watch!). I really enjoy the personal dedication of the brand and the meaning behind the designs prese

So many beautiful vintages...
As you know, I've been hunting for a pie-pan Constellation... in my search, I've come across so many gorgeous old Omegas that I may have to re-think my quest. The old moonphases, for example...Oh, dear! What should I do?

Another Example of Poor Patek Customer Service
When our home was broken into a couple weeks ago I lost a number of watches and was advised to contact manufacturers with serial numbers, etc. Lange and AP replied within 24 hours, and after receiving my information followed up (including a call from Germany by Lange!) to let me know my watches were registered as having been stolen, how their registry worked, who to contact with further questions, etc.I have now sent several emails to Patek over the past two weeks without any reply whatsoever.I will be replacing the Lange and AP watches pretty soon - may hold off on further purchases from Patek.

Back in Black (Alligator Straps on 16518)
Since I have lost some weight (actually my AD convinced me to try his diet with him, it worked pretty well lost about 40 pounds from 200 to 155) my wrist got a bit smaller. I decided to switch back to my regular size black alligator strap for my 16518. At first I was terrified to change straps on my daytona, and the first few switches did not go smoothly. I just switched back to my black alligator without much drama and the watch looks completely different.
