BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends March 27, 2015
It's that time of the year again, and I am, of course, referring to Baselworld. Baselworld is arguably the single most important watch fair of the year, a showcase for brands to present their newest releases and designs. This year proved to be an interesting and exciting one, and most brands did not disappoint with their new releases. Perhaps two of the most talked about new watches came from Rolex and Patek Philippe. For Rolex, we saw two new Everose gold Yacht-Master watches that are offered?with a rubber straps. These are the first watches to come from Rolex?with a rubber strap. And from Patek Philippe, we have the very peculiar new Calatrava Pilot Travel Time. To kick off this round-up, let's take a look at some of the most popular and talked about watches that we saw at Baselworld 2015.Baselworld news aside, we also have an interesting story to share about Jose Mourinho and his watches. If you are a big fan of soccer or football - as it is known outside of the United States - then

RG ROC or Rolex sky dweller RG?
Hey guys,So I am having a dilemma, I am feeling the 42mm RGRC is too big for me to handle and thinking to switch it. Love the new 44mm but no way I could handle that. I would like to maintain a RG watch and has come up with the above 2 choices. The RG ROC black dial with gold bracelet/leather strap and the Rolex sky dweller RG. I like the perpetual calander and dual time of the Rolex but like the design of the ROC more.Any thoughts?

Omega Seamaster Quartz late 1970s - Plz Help.
Hello everyone,I bought this watch some time ago because i liked the strap and had never seen a seamaster with a silver dial/bezel before. I believe there were two similar models available at the time, the other in a two tone with gold face, bezel and strap. The watch was going fine until the battery ran out, or so I thought.I took the watch to a really decent watchmaker who has always been more than helpful. He said they didn't make the actual batteries anymore because of some complication with the battery content but was able to fit another with some sort of cushion to allow it to fit properly. He tried this but said the battery was not at fault, the movement is gone. I really like the watch which I must admit I hardly even wore. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do. I have been told to maybe look for another 1342 watch for sale to replace the movement or should I just advertise it for spares/parts. If so, what would be a reasonable price, I don't think they even sell
