Orbita Sparta 1 Mini Giveaway Winner Follow Up
aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer reader Michael L. was the lucky winner of the Orbita Sparta 1 Mini Watch Winder giveaway help a few months ago. He was nice enough to take some images of his winnings and provide his thoughts. I reviewed the Orbita Sparta 1 Mini myself here. Overall I think he really liked the winder for its easy functionality and quite use. Though Michael is a man which larger wrists, and some of his watches may have felt large (but not necessarily too large in the winder). Here are his thoughts (I comment a bit in there as well).The winder is not overly large, yet I was very pleasantly surprised that it could hold my watches just fine. I have larger than normal wrists, 8.25-8.5" around and tend to wear larger watches. A good size for me is 46 mm, and I can go up to 52 mm without it looking too silly. Most of my automatics are between 46 and 48 mm.The Orbita winder comes with two different pillows. The thicker of the two fit perfectly for my watches with bracelets sized to my

Love my Aerospace Avantage!
I'm currently on a three week treck through Europe and the decision to take the Aerospace Avantage is paying off in spades. With a reliable alarm and quick to set dual time zones my true tool watch is doing it's job. The watches I left behind can't do what the road warrior Breitling has done. Signing off from Barcelona...

WOW!! Just got my used Bond Seamaster
Its my first modern Omega, and I have to say I am really impressed.The whole watch oozes class, way better than any foto can make it look, good weight and really heavy feel to the bracelet.I have it on a Nato at the moment as I don't really like the bracelet, a bit too bling. I have a mesh on the way.I was expecting it too be nice but not be blown away. I bought this to use as a daily beater, to be beaten, not worn at the office 9-5. I feel guilty about doing that now.Sorry about the quality of the foto!

Patek or no which one?Help please

Can't decide on Rolex to compliment my Sub
Right now I have a Submariner (116610LN) SS with black dial but am looking to add a 2nd one to my collection to a celebrate a recent milestone. I'm going crazy on deciding on a 2nd watch that is not too redundant (similar) to the Sub.I was eying up the Sky-Dweller but that seems too busy for my tastes, then the Milgauss but that seems too simple. I am considering the Datejust although I hear many say that looks too old and I am 29. My other concern with the DJ is the 41 inch size...I have 7 inch wrists and am worried about it looking too big. And the 36 seems too small. Ahh, can't decide! Any suggestions for a nice contrast to the Submariner?
