What It's Like To Be A Watch Blogger After 2,500 Posts
A few days ago, watches-dealer (formerly aBlogtoRead) hit the 2,500 posts milestone. It was only about a year ago that we celebrated our 2,000 posts milestone - with that really cool graphic I so enjoyed. In the last year a lot has happened over here at watches-dealer - it still feels funny using the new name as it is less than a month old at the time of writing this. During that time I have been interviewed in a lot of places, referenced in some major magazines and publications, and more or less sort of went mainstream. One reason aBlogtoRead as a name was retired was because the site for years now really hasn't been the niche watch lover blog for horologists only, but something a bit larger.Typically, this would be the time when someone in my position would thank everyone involved, say it has been amazing, and promise you all sorts of cool stuff for the future. The more I read that stuff the less it sounds sincere. Of course, everyone involved in the site such as our developer, Krist

Affordable Vintage: 1969 Bulova Accutron Deep Sea
While Bulova/Accutron made many killer divers in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the dual crown Deep Sea has to be the coolest kid on the block.? Sure, there’s the Bulova Super Compressors, and Accutron made several awesome Deep Sea and Snorkel models, but none are quite as bold as the Deep Sea.This Deep Sea model looks like a Super Compressor with its dual crowns and rotating inner divers bezel, but it is not. The Super Compressors were of course made by EPSA and had a specialized proprietary water sealing design in addition to the iconic inner rotating bezel. Several companies in the 1960’s and 1970’s cashed in on the popularity of this design, and one of them was Accutron, who really did a bang up job.This baby is a big ol’ chunk of solid stainless steel, measuring in at just over 41mm wide by 45mm long, with 20mm lugs. With its giant superdome thick acrylic crystal, it measures 14.5mm thick. Over all, this watch really has wrist presence. The case is clas

On The Block: Four Timepieces Possibly Owned By President Truman
On Saturday, November 8, Heritage Auctions is selling four timepieces possibly owned by President Harry S. Truman: an engraved Movado religious coin watch, a Baylor presented to President Truman in Texas, a gold-plated Vulcain Cricket, and a steel Longines. While we can say with confidence that the Movado and Baylor were Truman's, I don't believe we can be certain on the other two. Why?Back in February, Doyle New York auctioned some jewelry from the estate of Margaret Truman Daniel, the only child of President Harry S. Truman and First Lady Bess Truman. The items in the sale seemed to stay under-the-radar and someone cleaned up and got a great deal on a number of lots. Since then, some of the items have been listed at Heritage, including three timepieces back in May. However, the items were a jumble of pieces, including some from President Truman and Clifton Daniel, Margaret's husband. I believe we can say with confidence that the items personalized to President Truman were his, but it
