How To Trade Watches Versus Buying Them
If you are a serious watch collector, then at some point, you'll be faced with the ability to trade versus buying or selling watches in your collection. Trading watches will appeal to owners who wish to exchange a current watch for a desired watch. As an alternative to the buy/sell cycle and rental schemes, trading watches will interest those who prefer to experience variety, while owning their watches and working within a limited budget. The idea of trading is familiar to those who may have swapped baseball cards, comics, or coins; convert what you have into what you want.

Marcello C. Nettuno Bi-Color Chronograph Watch
You don't see combinations like this very often. Here, German Marcello C. has fitted their Nettuno Chronograph watch with a PVD black bezel and PVD black pushers and crown, against a stainless steel case. I think it is a very attractive combo. The look results in sort of a two-tone look that is quite popular these days. It makes the watch very noticeable as well - being more "striking" than models without the color combo. This is the first ever use of PVD in the Nettuno watch collection that I am aware of as well. You will notice of course that there are "mirror" image watches here. As one of the Nettuno Bi-Color Chronograph watches has a steel case with black pushers and bezel, the other version has a PVD black case with steel pushers and a steel bezel. Pretty cool right? Further, the PVD cased version comes with a totally PVD coated bracelet that ought to be really nice. This is one of the best diver's style bracelets on the market that I've experienced, and I'd love to experience it

Will be a long week.......waiting.....
Any ideas what the wait is for?
