A Guide To Avoiding Fake Watches
Over on Forbes we published a useful article called "The Truth About Replica Watches." You may or may not know that I write about watches and luxury regularly over on Forbes. We don't typically point watches-dealer readers over to my posts there, but I encourage you to follow my articles on Forbes. Having said that, in this instance we felt it was worth sharing a guide-style article we did helping to educate people about fake watches.It is true that overall we tend to admonish the purchase of fake watches, but perhaps for reasons you might not expect. The replica watch industry, no matter how underground it may be, is still a billion dollar plus market each year. Timepieces are among the most mass produced fake items around, and for good reason: people want watches and watches are expensive. If you are curious about fake watches or the reasons people buy them. Or perhaps you just need to be talked out of it, head over to "The Truth about Replica Watches" here ?

Opinions Needed (5711, 5167, 5726A)
hey guys, ive been going back and forth on my next purchase, and was hoping to throw it out to the group and solicit some advice. I recently purchased an aquanaut on a rubber strap, and was planning to pick up a 5711 blue dial next. However, after visiting my AD this weekend, I tried on (and really liked) the 5726A on a leather strap. Now, im going back and forth...im thinking either I stick with the 5167 and pick up a 5711, or trade in the 5167 and use the 5711 money to consolidate into the 5726a. 5167 + 5711: (all in cost of ~ $40 k)Pros:-I don't have a blue dial watch-classic pieces-more sporty-easier re-sale if the need ever arises or my tastes changeCons:-no complication-less wrist time since there are two watches-the estimate for my 5711 coming in is March 20155726a: (all in cost of ~ $36.5 k)Pros:-i usually prefer leather straps (but do find the 5167 rubber and 5711 ss bracelet quite comfortable)-potentially more unique-annual calendar-available nowCons:-i have a black / dar

the rolex lume
is not good enough I am afraid for a multi thousand k watch,I know this is probably the millionth thread on it, but I have never discussed it before,Why does my Seiko pepsi dive watch at ��200, have a better, brighter lume. than my gmt year 2017?Surely this part of the watch is about the easiest to perfect, compared to the mechanics and cosmetics.its disappointing I am afraid, I expected more.
