December Watch Winner Round-Up
During December 2010 you readers had the chance to win not one, but seven timepieces here on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer. I usually ask winners to give me images and a review of the watches, but given that there were a lot of winners for December, I thought it would just be nice to do a pictorial post with "wrist shots." One of the winners is missing as I didn't get shots from them yet - but I will include an image of winner of the Magrette Moana Pacific PVD watch winner ASAP. I am really thrilled that everyone is enjoying their new watches.? Congrats again to the winners, thanks again to the sponsors, and keep trying in the future if you haven't won a watch yet. I will keep these up as long as you all enjoy them.

New ap pc - on rubber!
Hi All, My first post in AP forum, greetings to all. My Perpetual Royal Oak just landed, and I had ordered both navy rubber and leather to have options with the bracelet. Magic. Not set yet, but just look at that moon...

Why doesn't Rolex do things like this?
I know this involves discussing another brand (I throw myself at the mercy of the mods!), but after attending the Breitling B01 unveiling here in Atlanta (awesome, see link for pics) last night I was left wondering why others (Rolex?) don't treat their customers similarly? Surely I'm not the only one here that has been to one of these events....Maybe it's because they just don't have to...has Rolex and others become that aloof and distant? I was really impressed with how well we were treated and really enjoyed the gesture that was made by the evening.Have on one of my other watches today! Hope you enjoy the pics and discussion.--Paul

New rubber strap for my Seamaster. Pics!
bought this from .Ofrei which was suggested by a few forum members, thank you! My first rubber strap for any of my watches. It will take a little getting used to but I like.

Offered by the Authorised Dealer
Recently I have been tempting by the beauty of The great nautilus 5712 blue dial. So I put my name on the waiting list at the AD in Bangkok about 3 weeks ago. I was called this morning about the incoming of the beautiful 5712. But....the thing is I was told (kind of being forced) to buy the 5712 together with the Hublot Classic fusion which I have never had my eyes on the model and the brand. If I do not agree on the offer, 5712 would be offered to the other customers. Just curious, as I never have an experience buying Nautilus with an Ad. Is this a normal procedure for an AD to deal with such a rare and hot item like a Nautilus? Has anyone experience the same situation?Should I go for it or pass this beauty because I don't like being forced to buy another watch that I am not interested?PS.. the price I was offered was the full list price, no discount, or whatsoever that makes me feel a little better about the deal. Appreciate all your readings.
