Explaining What's Wrong With The Watch Industry In 2014
One of the things that is really important to us at watches-dealer is to discuss more than just what new watches are available and what we think you should consider when making purchasing decisions. No, we aren't going to tell you how to dress or how to be cool, surely you are doing fine when it comes to those things already. Rather, we'd like to talk about the watch industry overall, as well as things you might like to consider as collectors, or simply as people who like to own nice things.The luxury watch industry is a very complicated and interesting entity, and frankly, I've never experienced anything else like it.

Anyways for the conclusion had seen pictures online of a new Dual Time Novelty being released for SIHH. Wasn't too sure about it as with leather straps I have noticed a gap between my wrist and the strap and it looks too bulky. Its 39mm so thought would give it a try. Called up my

Help needed on bracelet pricing
Hello all,I usually hang around the Rolex discussion, but I have a quick question regarding cost of a Breitling bracelet. A. What is the current retail on a SS 20mm pilot for a Chronomat?

Been too long since my last ... INCOMING!!!!
I was thinking Daytona as my next acquisition but haven't even been able to see / try on a Daytona in the flesh, let alone purchase at MSRP....
