WATCH GIVEAWAY: Claude Bernard Chronograph Automatic
This month on watches-dealer, you have a chance to win a Claude Bernard Chronograph Automatic timepiece, which is an elegant and attractive bi-compax chronograph. Who wears a chronograph dress watch? The concept is a relatively modern phenomenon which developed as historic sport watches simply became dressier over time.

Speedmaster strap choices
I just read a thread by SUBversive (BTW, love that handle) about the Speedmaster on a strap.A timely posting since right now I'm narrowing down my choices for two new straps for more versatility. I currently wear my Speedmaster on a matte chestnut red/brown alligator strap and really like it. I would appreciate readers' thoughts or votes:1) Matte black alligator with black stitching.1) Matte black alligator with slate gray stitching that matches the dial.2) Matte chocolate brown alligator with matching stitching.3) Matte dark blue/black alligator with matching stitching.4) Matte dark blue/black alligator with slate gray stitching that matches the dial. These are the five combination that I want to choose from. As I said I'm looking for versatility and, of course, a great look on the Speedmaster.Thanks for your thoughts.Cheers,

3rd PAM Incoming! (Video link)
I was transiting through Dubai Airport on Friday morning when I happened to come across their 25% sale 😊. I simply had to take advantage of the offer and picked up a PAM320 for $6600! I'm so happy with this model as I didn't have a GMT model in the collection as yet. I've previously owned a 104 and 111.Here's the video:youtu.be/bT0FvBRUZUMHappy viewing!
