Watch Winner Follow-Up: Egard Shade Black
Below is a watch winning reader review from Jesse S. of Los Angeles, regarding the Egard Shade Black timepiece that he won on watches-dealer:As the winner of the October 2013 watches-dealer giveaway, I can tell you the Egard Black Shade limited edition watch fits in well in the city of Los Angeles. Dress codes are a rarity in LA, however, being functional as well as stylish is still the name of the game. The Egard Black Shade watch beautifully captures both of these elusive qualities while working as an elegant dress watch or a casual sport piece.Founded and designed by Ilan Srulovicz, the Egard brand is new to the watch scene. Egard was formed as a tribute from a son to his father and seeks to, create inspiring luxury pieces that embody the depth of emotion we each feel for the person in our lives who has defined our own important moments (seems like a lot of pressure to make a cool watch!). I really enjoy the personal dedication of the brand and the meaning behind the designs prese

Rose Gold Lovin'.
I was looking through the AP websites and stumbled upon two massive beauties.. Well.. Better start saving up! Meanwhile if anyone has either of these watches please upload a photo!

5110 WT question
Looking for some help...did all 5110 world timers come with both a sapphire and solid case back, or did it depend on the metal?

Guidance, 5131
A gold 5131 is my grail. I'm ready to start working on getting one. I intend to keep it until it's handed down.I works for me at retail, but on the secondary market I can't touch it.I know it's an application piece and something I can't just walk in and purchase.So my questions are. How do I go about being considered a viable option when I submit an application? How many watches does one normally have to purchase prior to being accepted for a 5131? Is it completely out of the realm of possibility to be accepted with the 5131 being the first Patek purchase?Generally what do I need to do to put myself in a position to get a 5131 at retail.I'm looking at this as a multi year process for myself. Thank you.

Bought my first Panerai last week... ordered my second this morning!
Well I bought my first Panerai last week the 323, being someone who has never shown any interest in them or even looked at a Panerai in person to seeing one and instantly buying one.Well a week later, I walked into the Panerai boutique in London and saw the 425 and fell in love instantly, I just find the vintage sparse dial so fitting for the watch. I purchased elsewhere as the boutique barely moved on the price but the 425 is incoming in the next week. Never has a brand hooked me so fast and so hard. Got to now hold fire before I find a reason to buy the Carbon Submersible.
