Watch Winner Review: Casio Pro Trek PRG550
Follow-up thoughts from Brian of Chicago who won the February 2013 watches-dealer watch giveawayIt was a delightful surprise when I was contacted by Ariel, and was told that I won the monthly drawing contest for a Casio Pro Trek watch from watches-dealer. While I like to consider myself a watch enthusiast, I had to admit that I had a severe lack of adventure/sport watches. While I had the standard tool watch, or the long lasting quartz watch, I didn't have a watch where if I were to get lost in the woods, or I had to jump out of a plane, I knew that I would be able to focus on whatever is at hand, and not worry about my watch failing me, much less helping me survive.The watch comes in a pretty nice wooden (pine?) box. It is fairly Spartan, but it does exude the sense of adventure and exploration that this watch was marketed towards.

5960/1A or Daytona Platinum
Hello everyone,I am thinking of buying one $$$ watch this year as smething to keep (and wear ofcourse) forever and pass it to my unborn son later.I know they are very different from eachother. The one is steel and the other platinum. One is a bit more complicated and far more special movement then the other. And ofcourse one is a Patek and the other just a Rolex.I really like the looks of the Daytona that color scheme is so nice in person, but the Patek has also something very nice to it. The strange not so Patek like dial and steel with steel bracelet combined with a complicated first in-house chronograph is ofcourse very special wich is what sings to me very much with this model.So... my question is : wich one would you choose ?Cheerss

Lost affection for my SubC
For some reason lately I’ve got no affection what so ever for my sub. I can’t explain it, i Had my eye on one for over year. After I pulled the trigger I was in the love it up until a month or so ago. Now it spends more time locked away than on my wrist. I didn’t even get it out to wear to church Sunday. The thought entered my mind to flip it...but for what? Thought about a DJ 41, Omega PO or possibly a DD 36 the later of which would only be worn on special occasions or Sunday. After having one and wearing it a while the Sub now seems boring. Everyone has one, I assume that is what is in the back of my mind. Not sure if I should sit on it and let the desire come back for it, flip and take the hit or just leave it be and not worry about it..wear if I want to or don’t wear it. I’m not in a situation that I need the money so it’s fine where it is but if I can come up with something I want more that I think I will enjoy it more I’d flip it...the q
