What It's Like To Be A Watch Blogger After 2,500 Posts
A few days ago, watches-dealer (formerly aBlogtoRead) hit the 2,500 posts milestone. It was only about a year ago that we celebrated our 2,000 posts milestone - with that really cool graphic I so enjoyed. In the last year a lot has happened over here at watches-dealer - it still feels funny using the new name as it is less than a month old at the time of writing this. During that time I have been interviewed in a lot of places, referenced in some major magazines and publications, and more or less sort of went mainstream. One reason aBlogtoRead as a name was retired was because the site for years now really hasn't been the niche watch lover blog for horologists only, but something a bit larger.Typically, this would be the time when someone in my position would thank everyone involved, say it has been amazing, and promise you all sorts of cool stuff for the future.

Bumble Bee... need some info
So, I've been following AP for some time now. I have recently looked at the AP ROO Bumble Bee and really like the look. Now, my wrists are a little small at sub 7. So when I went to the AP dealer to try it out, I had to get hornback strap basically to the last hole.... now this caused an issue with the metal deployant to be riding up one side of my wrist. The salesperson said that there is a shorter version of the strap - is this true?Also - what are the pro's and con's of the Bee? Is it really discontinued and is there a replacement soon?I was also thinking of a Panda on bracelet - that looked really nice and the bracelet just wraps my wrist so well.... cheaper too... thoughts on the current Panda 42mm vs the Bee?Looking to buy one and keep for a looong time.And what is there to know about these newer pushers? Are they coming down the 42mm line? I can't pull off the 44mm I don't think. THANKS!
