Get To Know Your Fellow Watch Collectors With This LGI Survey Data Exchange
LGI is a company that works with retailers to determine what watches are selling, where, and to whom. It is a valuable service that the watch industry relies on (at least here in the US) to advise them what the market demands and helps them decide what types of watches to produce. LGI is expanding their research to individual collectors and if you participate, they will share the entire survey data with you. Basically, if you are interested in who your fellow high-end watch lovers are, what they are buying, and how much of it, all you need to do is provide the same. It is a fair exchange for those who want to know this information.Being fans of data, we wanted to share this opportunity with the watches-dealer readers. The survey takes maybe 15 minutes if you casually go through it, especially if you are the type of collector they want to know a lot about. While personal data is not collected and you will become just a statistic, your information will be shared with interested watch bra

Ulysse Nardin Classico Lady Watch with a ring of Sapphire around it
In addition to jewels the dial is made of a complex to the enamel. The great case of 35 mm is 18 k white gold. While the design of the dial is a bit jaded for me, I cannot deny the jewellery-like effort involved in the production. what I don't like, it is the shape of the lugs and Crown, with a ring of Sapphire around it.

My Latest Acquisition: Omega SMP Chronograph
Just thought I would share a few shots. Picked this one up from a great member here on TRF. I absolutely LOVE the way the watch looks. And to make it even better, it's been 48 hours and the watch is only a second slow. I'm really lucking out with these super accurate time pieces! Excuse the poor quality shots as these were taken with my iphone 4.

Patek Steel quality, Website and Brand direction
I recently purchased a sub after being torn between the no date and Aquanaut (for those interested look for my thread titled Aquanaut vs Sub ) but had a few questions regarding Patek steel quality, website and where the brand is headed1. The Rolex just had more of a shine to it than the Patek. I am guessing this has something to do with 904L Steel that they use? Does Patek use 316L? Anyone know anything about Patek's steel quality?2. Also does anyone else think Patek's website is a little bit too 'clunky'? For a brand this big shouldn't they invest in a better website? Brands like Rolex, VC, ALS and AP have great websites I am surprised Patek dosen't3 And lastly, does anyone think we will see bolder, younger models from Patek? A lot of people can't afford PP Complications and Super complications- when their existing customer base for those watches eventually dies out how will they attract the younger smartwatch wearer to the brand? I think they need to be looking into more entry level

Stay away from diamond
