BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends June 5, 2015
This month, we once again?have the pleasure of checking out?an eclectic mix of mechanical timepieces. To begin, there's Cabestan's wild Triple Axis Tourbillon watch, Bovet's distinctive Amadeo Virtuoso VII Retrograde Perpetual Calendar watch, and a new version of De Bethune DB25QP Perpetual Calendar watch.Moving on, we have noticed that after many years of large watches, it seems that smaller and more modestly-sized watches are in vogue now. The question, however, is are you man enough to wear a smaller watch? And with Star Wars opening at the end of this year, we imagine how some Star Wars watches would look if they were made by popular Swiss brands.Apple's new smart watch is a different and special kind of watch, and so it warrants a long-term review to accurately reflect its?capabilities. So, this month, we begin?our roundup with another look at the Apple Watch after having spent?a month with it. Is it really useful? And can it replace our trusty mechanical watches? Read the finding

Speedy question
Hi all. I have been hunting for a 3570.50 for the past months. I saw some pretty good deals out there but somehow I didn't pull the trigger.Then recently I stumble upon a newer reference of 3570.50 (311.30.42.30.01.005) from a reputable seller.The overall watch is in good condition and it comes with all the box, papers, and accessories.I am about to pay $3250 to this seller.So advice would be greatly appreciated as I am going to bank today.Thanks,Ringo

Hirsch strap sizing?????
I have an omega 3570.50 on the way to add to my small collection. Im super excited. I want it on a strap and have found the Hirsch knight strap in black. I'm trying to determine the size to order. I know the lug size is 20mm. However, they come in large and in xlarge I believe. My wrist size is around 7 inches. Will the large fit properly or should I look for a different brand that offers smaller sizes? Also, are there any U.S. Hirsch retailers that I can order it from? Thanks in advance everyone.

Are gold-on-black Speedmasters (3695.50.31) rare?
Hi guys,A friend of a friend owns a gold-on-black Speedy and I think it looks awesome. However, when I started looking online I noticed that gold Speedies are quite rare. Is that true?Here is what I'd like to add to my collection:I am sure I can go to a dealer and order it, but I'd like to get it used to save some $$$.

116618 with diamond dial
Anyone have one of these - 116618 diamond dial? I don't think they made too many of them. I know diamonds on a sub are not everyone's taste. Anyway...saw one for sale and it looked beautiful. I wondered everyone's thoughts in comparison to the sunburst dial. To those who have it how do you like it? Any regrets in not getting the sunburst dial? any wrist shots? Can you wear it daily? I am tempted to buy it. Thanks!
