How Negative Comments Can Help Boost Sales Of Watches
If you are a brand owner or someone that sells a product, you are going to be very sensitive about what people say about you online and in comments to reviews. The most natural thing for a product manager to feel is that negative reviews will prevent people from purchasing their product. But is that what really happens? A new study explains in scientific terms what I feel is actually conventional wisdom. It was found that the right type of polite or constructive negative comments can actually boost not only sales, but the price someone is willing to pay for a product. While this has a wide application to a number of scenarios, the research presented in the Journal of Consumer Research even used a wrist watch in one of their consumer behavior experiments.One of the most common issues we have with our colleagues at watch brands is concern over the comments our audience leaves after articles.

43 or 38
I have a 165mm wrist size and I'm looking for advice on a Transocean chronograph. I prefer the 43mm case diameter with the Breitling in-house movement, but I'm a little concerned about the size.

Worn bezel on 2351 Bond - keep it or
Hi gents,I'm thinking on giving my 17 y.o. Bond a refreshed look - what could need most love is the bezel. Its original blue has faded and it gained some scratches in return.As far as I could find out, Omega doesn't sell the bezel insert alone - it sells the whole package - clever guys! . I saw some posts on other forums of some gents replacing the bezel and it really gives the watch another look... What do you think? Does this faded bezel, along the patina that's starting very faintly to show on the dial indexes starts to give this 17 y.o. watch a classic status? Is my Bond going through its coming of age, so I should keep it like that?Or, on the other hand, replacing the bezel by a new one would give it a better, more modern look?
