Orient Mako Dive Watch Winner Follow Up
In August I held a giveaway for an Orient Mako Diver watch. I asked the winner to send an image with the watch on his wrist as a follow up to show all of you. Like all aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer readers, he was busy in his work and personal life, but was finally able to get a snapshot for me to share with all of you. Here are a few meaningful words that Eric W. wanted to share with about the Orient Mako CEM65001B dive watch that he won on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer:"The Orient Mako Diver watch is a terrific watch! I must admit that I was a bit skeptical for how an automatic watch in this price range would be, but I have been wearing this watch for over a week and it has performed beautifully. It is very accurate and is durable. I can tell that people that see the watch often do double-takes. They seem to be wondering if it is an Omega, a Rolex, or a Blancpain.The watch comes in a beautiful box. There is no question in my mind that Orient makes the best automatic watches for the money.

Jumbo vs 15300 vs Dual Time for a small collection
I have a collection that currently consists of only four pieces: 14060, 118239, Speedmaster Professional and a JLC Grande Reverso Calander. I would like to add a Royal Oak in the 39mm size. Which AP do you think would be the most appropriate for my collection? Each watch seems to have its pros and cons. I love the looks of all 3. Thanks

First AP and First Post
Hi All, this is Andy from Austin, Texas.Firstly, I have been lurking on the forum for a while, hoovering up all the great AP advice on here - so a big thank you.I have been a watch guy all my life, since my mom bought me my first Timex, a diver style watch from a Post Office (I am a Brit) in the UK when I was five years old - I found that watch in a junk drawer when I was moving to Austin 7 years ago, wound it up and it worked perfectly! My son now wears it.I had always been a Rolex guy and bought my first one, an Air King 25 years ago and then traded that for a grey dial DJ and that for a GMT and finally that for a SS black faced Daytona, which I still have.Back in 2008, I purchased a SS PAM 233, which I wore a lot but never really connected with it and have always loved the look of the AP ROO RG models. I tried on both the 42mm and the new 44mm models and on my wrist just preferred the size, symmetry and look of the 42mm model.Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I had read great r

Which Nautilus to really balance out the collection?
Hi All,As you can see, my current collection consists of a '68 Omega Speedmaster Professional (Transitional), Patek Philippe Annual Calendar, Pre-ceramic Rolex GMT Master II, Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, and currently a Panerai Luminor 1950 3-day automatic. Since getting my AC and Patrimony, I have found that the PAM is just too big and heavy to be comfortable so am now considering to flip it and buy a Nautilus. Many of the pictures that I have seen of that watch tend to make it look quite big as well but I recently had a chance to try it on and was amazed at how comfortable it wears on the wrist. It can also be dressed up better than the PAM. I am convinced this is the way to go but am now debating between the 5711 blue, 5711 white, or the 5712. The 5711 blue seems to be the iconic watch (and I have seen numerous polls here to suggest that is the better choice) but I also really like the look of the white as well. Similarly, I like the complication of the 5712 and the hints of r

I might never take this off...incoming Sky Dweller...
I had actually put my name in for the black dial because it's so elegant and seems more dressy. But then I started thinking that I already have a couple of black dials (Daytona and Milgauss), and a quirky Z-Blue Milgauss...so when my AD ( a Rolex boutique in a regional chain jewelry store) said she thought she was getting the Sky Dweller, I told I'd prefer white. Lo and behold 5 days later it's on the wrist. I love it.Couple early wrist shots...we have a thing to go to, but I wanna take more with my good camera and lenses later.
