GIVEAWAY: Egard Shade Black Automatic Watch
This month on watches-dealer you have an opportunity to win a limited edition (of just 50 pieces) Shade Black automatic watch by Egard.

Some of the movement can be viewed through an open window on the dial, and more of it via the sapphire crystal case back window on the rear of the watch.

Well, the Heritage Black Bay One at Only Watch is a piece unique, but it is very similar to the recently released Tudor Heritage Black Bay Black (reference 79220N). The differences are just a few – bezel markings, hands, dial text, etc. The 79220N is a watch with a list price of just $3100.
