Tissot PRC 200 Danica Watch Giveaway Winner
This is the Tissot PRC 200 Danica Limited Edition ladies watch that was given away on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer in March 2012. Thank you to winner Cindy for her follow-up images and thoughts:"It's just the right combination of sporty/feminine for my tastes. I really like the robust, clean design with the big '7' in orange that matches the strap stitching. Also love the diamonds on the dial. I also think that the hefty thickness of the watch is attractive. At first I thought "Wow, that's big" but when I have it on, it doesn't look too large on my arm. I am going to wear this watch proudly!"Thank you again Tissot and Cindy for the follow-up - enjoy the watch. Also thanks to everyone who enters the monthly watch giveaways here on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer.

Ulysse Nardin Astrolabium Galileo Galilei Watch Features Lots Of Info: Doesn't Know How To Share The Knowledge
Ask someone wearing a Ulysse Nardin Astrolabium Galileo Galilei watch what time it is, and they may be forced to flash their wrist at you rather than respond. So what time is it? Your guess is as good as mine. While I can figure it out, this watch reminds me a Dr. Seuss creation gone wrong (all it needs is fur of some sort). So much information, it is virtually a practical joke.The watch is touted as providing information useful to astronomers. Meaning they need something to distract their view for a couple of hours while they figure out what time it is? All kidding aside, this is a nice looking watch, that costs a bundle (used one is on eBay right at over $20k). Only thing, is that it is helplessly confusing. If you study a list of all the features it purportedly has, you'll agree it is impressive, if not overkill. Here is one of those machines that tells you real information, but information nonetheless you don't need to know.An example? It indicates the "Draco line." Yea, that is wh

AP RO 15300 - Polished or is AP quality not so great?
Hello all,I have had my AP RO 15300ST for about 3 weeks now. Amazing watch!But there's one thing, and it's a big but, that grinds my gears.All 4 corners chamfers are extremely wide and does not match the bracelet at all. Far from matching. And there's very little material above the screw hole if you compare to below.It's an F serie from 2009.Here's pictures of my watch:This problem was found by another dear forum member over at a Swedish watch forum and he posted pictures of his old 15300 as reference (I hope he don't hate me for stealing his pictures):A random reference pictureAnother forum members' polished 15300. You can see that it's creeping a little bit wide, but not nearly close to as bad as mine.Another forum members' 15202With these pictures it looks like mine has been extremely polished.But I made a google search on 15300's and found these examples:And also this 15400 that's according to the dealer, unworn.Although he mistakes his 15400 for a 15300 and somehow gets it to a ju

Flip ROC for 15202?
Hey guys, I recently bought a black dial ROC which I love. But the more I see the 15202, the more I like it. Would you flip the ROC for the Jumbo? I know it's a personal decision but would like opinions. I'm out of watch budget at the moment, so I'd have to flip the ROC and an Explorer II 42mm. What do you think? Yay or nay?

Advice on crown threads
Hi. If the crown threads catch and then the crown becomes gritty because of a bit of wear, if I clear this with a waxed bit of dental floss (as suggested in other threads here), would this (a) invalidate the warranty, (b) strip the crown threads of oils and does it matter and (c) mean that potentially wax could get through the gasket? Not much should get through the seal. Thanks!
