Fine Time With Seiko Watches In Arizona
A potentially unlikely spot for die-hard high-end Seiko fans is a unique shop located off the main drag in Scottsdale (area of Phoenix) Arizona. Arizona Fine Time is the watch selling arm of Cigar King, the very well-known mostly online cigar retailer. For close to a decade now they have been growing their retail and e-commerce sales of some of the more interesting watch brands in the mostly under $10,000 segment that they carry. They are also the best performing high-end Seiko watch retailer in the entire US.What is AZ Fine Time's secret? In addition to running a watch store unlike most watch retailers, the guys at AZ Fine Time just love Seiko (and watches). While most of their business is online, it would be a shame to miss out on a visit watch store itself. Well, the part watch store, part cigar humidor, part lounge, and all-around guy hang-out.Seiko recently threw another "Grand Seiko Roadshow" event at Arizona Fine Time where a few hundred watch and cigar fans came together to mee

Urgent...ROO LOVERS AND EXPERIENCED OWNERS PLEASE OPEN
Hello friends, I am relatively new to AP and wanted some feedback. I plan on purchasing a new AP Offshore Royal Oak and it's come down to three choices;1.) Panda dial ROO2.) Safari (classic)3.) Black themes 2014 (new model with clear case back)Of all the AP ROO that I have seen considering my taste and budget it's going to be one of these three. I prefer the classic safari over the new, that new safari dial just doesn't do it for me. However the new black themes (2014) with red stitch strap is appealing and of course the Panda is an absolute beauty. My questions for you fellow AP ROO lovers are.... do the Safari and Panda wear the same as the new black themes? Which one wears the largest on the wrist? Which of these 3 do you think will hold it's value the best and be regarded as more of a classic?As an everyday watch you can dress up in a suit or rock casually which would it be?Most importantly, of the three which one stands out as the absolute BEAUTY topping the other two models?Your

Made a mistake...
I have been looking for a co-axial SMP bond for a while now, and yesterday I came across one for sale here in the classified. Looked great, and the seller had plenty of rep, so I impulsively bought it. Once paid for and shipped, I was doing a little surfing, trying to source a speedmaster style bracelet for it (which i prefer to the bond bracelet), when realized that I just bought a mid-sized watch, which I imagine will look silly on my ape-like 7 3/4 wrists. So now I'm stuck with a useless watch. I don't really have much else to say, other then i want to smash my head against a wall for being an impulsive idiot, and not checking the model number before I paid for something. Sigh.And I'm sure I won't learn from this...

Three Yr warranty from Tournau
Purchased last week NIB Pam 104. For $500 I can purchase their extended warranty that included new straps if damaged, sweat marks etc., cosmetic scratches, dings, etc., and also a full servicing that alone costs over $500. Now I know most say pass on these but I plan on keeping it and can be rough on the watch so with all the inclusions should, in your opinion, spend the $500? Also consider I got 20% of the list price and it's a 2105 production with warrens card, box, papers, etc. what are your thoughts especially since that alligator strap is over $400 alone? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Will she notice???
Alright guys, let's take some bets. Trading up from my PAM 48 to the 233. Does my wife notice that I'm wearing a new watch [Seriously, another new watch?! What was wrong with the old one?!] or does it fly safely under the radar as the same old Panerai? Is the 233 awesome enough that I don't care if I get busted?
