Itay Noy X-Ray & Netline Watches Close Up
For 2011 Israeli watch maker Itay Noy offers new pieces including the X-Ray and Netline collection. Of the watches use a new case that offers the same Itay Noy type of smooth look and feel with a new shape that includes bulging case screws. The cases are on the larger side at 44.6mm wide but are wearable on the wrist. They both play with the concept of skeletonization and feature Swiss ETA Unitas 6497 manually wound movements done in various styles.Spending time with the watches I used my macro lens to capture some of their finer details. The X-Ray is a clever concept that has a dial mimicking an x-ray machine. What you see is a monochromatic outline of exactly what is underneath in the movement. Being an actual representation of what is under the dial is so unique. The X-Ray comes in a few dial styles, but the black and silver is my favorite.The X-Ray is really about appreciating technical drawings and schematics. The watch world is full of them, although consumers rarely see them. Th

Omega pricing discounts
Anybody know of a real hungry Omega AD? I have seen Omegas on gray market sites at up to 30% off (no warranty or card) and located one AD that typically goes to 25%, but would like to find an AD that will go 35%.I have done a lot of business with my local watch dealer and he usually allows me 35-40% off most brands they carry. They carry many of the major brands, except Rolex (Breitling, IWC, TAG, Jaeger, Ulusse-Nardin, Breguet, Blanpain, Glasutte, Cartier - to list a few). I can usually count on 38% off list and the warranty, but they no longer carry Omega. Omega dropped many dealers last year. They can get me one from another dealer, but the dealer won't give it to them at cost, so my discount isn't a good as it would normally be.
