Zeitwinkel 273�� Watch
Zeitwinkel is a still relatively unknown brand making a range of dressy mechanical watches with in-house movements from their home in Saint Imier, Switzerland. While Zeitwinkel, whose name means "time angle" (in reference to a sundial), is only a few years old, they have managed to develop their own in-house movements and a range of watches in both 42.5 and 39mm sizes. Created by a design professor and watch enthusiast, Zeitwinkel is one of those small brands that just seems to be doing their own thing at their own pace. With simple but detailed styling that, much like their name, could be confused for German, Zeitwinkel is definitely worth a closer look.Zeitwinkel's flagship model is the 273��, a 42.5mm everyday dress watch that boasts multiple complications backed by their ZW 0103 in-house movement. The 273�� uses a steel case with both brushed and polished finishing that measures 13.8 mm thick including the domed and anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The display case back also feature

HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 132 - Yes, a Teenage Grandpa Tutor
Apparently this is the show about shameless self promotion. At least according to John. First I plug the limited edition straps I had Teenage Grandpa made for watches-dealer readers (which a few more of you should buy before they run out). Then we talk about the YES watch you can win this month by entering here on watches-dealer. After that we talk about a see-through Cartier watch and Tudor coming back to the US. Just before we stop, for kicks we laugh about the terrible looking (and named) U-Boat Unicum (a picture of which is below for laughs).Listen to the HourTime Show watch podcast episode 132 here.Download the MP3 

44 shades of grey.. incoming!
Hello fellow AP'ers!Some of you might remember that I was torn between the 44 Ti and CE. Went to the boutique yesterday and decided to pick up this beauty.Thinking of letting go of my CE diver for its bigger brother. Not sure yet. But this will go into another thread. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Don't be afraid of the 15450...
I get the sense that many chaps avoid the 15450 because 37mm seems too small...in fact, I myself struggled to pull the trigger for this very reason.I'm glad I finally got over this mental barrier and went for it, it's the perfect size for my wrists which are 6.5 ish.I have a Daytona which is a nice size also, and a Sea Dweller which works well for when I want a more casual look and when I don't think a bulkier watch looks out of place. But the AP is just perfect for me, so much so that my dealer is now on the lookout for a blue dial model (I was originally going to swap the dial, but the silver is so nice that I've decided to double up instead).A nice watch only looks nice if it's worn by the right person, and size of watch vs size of wrist is a critical factor. I know some people with similar sized wrists that wear a large ROO and it works for them, because it suits their character and the way they dress generally, but on me it would look ridiculous.So if you have smallish wrists, if

Omega Boutique in PA
So, in my previous post I talked about getting my first Omega.... I love it and will wear it til I can't wear it any longer... My wife bought it for me from Fr. John's AD in DC... I obviously had to get it sized... I figured I would take it to the new Boutique that opened in the King of Prussia mall... They were not happy AT ALL!!! They questioned where I got it and I explained that it was a gift my wife got for me for Fathers Day... Basically I was getting the stink eye the entire time with bit of snooty haughty taughty on the side... Needless to say 1.25 hours later my watch was sized and I'm now rocking the PO 8500 45.5mm... I didn't really think I get hassled the much to size my Omega... I'm supporting their brand I just refuse to pay full price... Multiple people walked in and when they were told there was no discount, they walked out... Anyone else out there run into attitude in the boutiques???I did however manage to see a gorgeous Aqua Terra LE that was stunning!!!!I'm to
