What Will The Apple iWatch Be Like?
Rumors regarding new Apple products have lately proved to be extremely accurate. Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple hasn't quite kept the iron curtain pulled so tight. When mass speculation revolves around a new product or service, it is often a matter of "when" rather than "if" it will be released. Even before the square version of the iPod Nano came out, people were speculating that Apple was designing a wristwatch. They clearly had it in mind when making a few watch dials available on the Nano, which was later upped to about 18 different dial choices. While Apple hasn't officially announced an upcoming "iWatch" or wrist watch product, people have been discussing its imminent release for quite some time.A new round of rumors have popped up seeming to indicate that 2013 may very well be the year Apple finally releases a dedicated watch product. Primary to these rumors is that Apple will be working with Intel to produce a processor for a small, power efficient device. It is true that

A Week On The Wrist: The Linde Werdelin SpidoLite Gold
Linde Werdelin has been in the game for more than 13 years now, and it’s safe to say that they’ve honed their lightweight sports watch to suit the unique vision of founders Jorn Werdelin and Morten Linde. With each limited generation, the modular case and dial structure evolve in ways sometimes noticeable, and other times less so. At this year’s Baselworld fair, Linde Werdelin introduced the fourth generation of their SpidoLite family of watches, and while it still features exotic materials and featherweight construction, the design, and more importantly, the mechanics, have undergone some serious renovation since we last spent a week with one. Does the latest and greatest SpidoLite continue to break new ground for this forward thinking brand? We spent a week with the new SpidoLite Gold to find out. State Of The Brand Regular readers of HODINKEE will no doubt be familiar with Linde Werdelin and their thoroughly contemporary timepieces. They may be relati

hi guys, I'm considering divesting my 000 in order to finance a grail, what is a fair value for it? first letter of the serial is J, was purchased ~2007 from the officine in florence.

Buying a 5-year old new in box datejust?
Hi guys, after hanging around in the forum for last few years I've finally saved up enough to buy a 36mm datejust. While I'm browsing for what's on the market, I found a seller selling a never-worn datejust that was manufactured in 2012 (W116234BLSO, seller's disclosure). How concerned (if at all) should I be with the production date that was 5 years ago? Since it's my first time buying a rolex, and also since I've actually never seen others disclosing the production year beforehand, I'm curious what the market practice is (does official dealers also sell watches that are manufactured a few years back if they are of same model?). Is the 5 year gap is something that I should be concerned about in buying high-end watches?Thank you!
