Top Reasons You Want A Nice (Expensive) Watch
The matter of wearing and enjoying fine timepieces is a passion that these days must be justified. It's true, we as practical men and women succeed in life not via waste, but via efficiency. To adorn an item (be it timepiece or otherwise) that quite possibly defies those reasons we came to afford such an item in the first place is something worth discussing. Bottom line, if you want to wear a nice watch, do so with good health, and be able to explain why to others why they should to.During the last year I found myself being frequently interviewed by other journalists and writers on the topic of watches and my job overall.

15300 VS 15450. What do you say? - Pics (POLL)
What is your opinion?My wrists are 6, maybe just very slightly a little larger.I think both work well.The 15300 was the manager's at the AD, not in great condition but I got the chance to try it out at least to see how the 39MM 15300 looks.Oddly enough it fits my wrist better than the 15202 which doesn't sit very well.The 15450 silver dial is beautiful, the watch is not small, but definitely does not have the presence of the 39MM 15300.Is it just me or does the silver dial on the 15450 give the appearance of a dressier watch?Which do you think looks nicer on my wrists?

Shall I mention the full note (AD name and the details) or just generals with no AD name? This is a honest question....do not know how to proceed.Thank you!
