How To Choose What Watch To Buy
The choice of which watch to buy is a deeply personal decision. Even if you own a large collection of timepieces, you've probably carefully considered the purchase of each, as it is a new introduction in your life on your body, and is a very personal accoutrement. The purpose of this article is to help you to learn how to make the decision of what watch to buy.I don't believe that at watches-dealer it is our role to tell you what watch to buy. We aren't here to tell you what you should think is cool, or what constitutes a good-looking watch, or which watches will increase in value. We strongly believe that such decisions should be made by you. We feel that the goal of a watch blog, or any media source, should be to educate and empower an audience so that they can make better, informed decisions for themselves. Doing so will lead to a longer and much more satisfying relationship with any watch (or product otherwise) that you buy.Choosing A Watch Is A Personal ChoiceNevertheless, we unde

Can a Royal Oak coexist with a Nautilus?
I recently got the Patek 5711 as it fit my small wrist so much better than the Jumbo.. And while it definitely is lovely and a keeper I still am tempted by the royal oaks..Am thus tempted by either a 15450 or ROC 39mm in view that they will fit my tiny wrist better..Would it be an overkill of Genta in the collection?

Love the fit of the 15450 but the look of the latter..

OBSERVATIONS: Omega PO8500 vs 116610 Sub C
I recently acquired two PO8500s and also own a Sub C and DSSD. When comparing the PO8500 Ceramic head-to-head against the 116610LV Submariner I have observed the following with regard to the overall quality, performance and value...CASE AND CASE FINISH = TIEThe case finishing on both watches is excellent. The Omega does shine in two distinct areas. First, the sides of the case are brushed (which I love). When handling my watches, it is always the sides of the case that pick up the most fingerprints and hairline scratches. By horizontally brushing these surfaces, the Omega PO feels like a serious diving tool. Second, I really like the huge 45 degree chamfers on the case lugs, which give the watch great proportions and are also less likely to be dinged or dented if the watch is subjected to serious use/abuse. I do, however, prefer the darker gray appearance of the 904L case/bracelet as well as the pronounced crown guards of the Submariner case. The Submariner case is also quite a bit th
