Your Feedback Is Requested In Regard To The Future Of Watch Media
Sometimes mystery isn't a good thing, especially when it comes to media that consumers trust and follow with regularity. So with that said, I'd like to begin a conversation with watches-dealer's audience on the topic of how you feel the site can continue to serve you as we grow. When you go into a store and purchase something you immediately know how that store makes money, as you just left with a little bit less funds in your bank account. When it comes to media, and internet websites, sometimes the transparency of how a company works and derives revenue is less straight-forward. The watches-dealer team doesn't like to make rash decisions on how we want to grow, because at the end of the day, we want to make sure that watches-dealer always remains a valuable resource for consumers and its followers.The Issue: Sustainable Growth & TransparencyWhat is this conversation really all about? It is about you as an audience and watch community member offering feedback on how we might grow

Ulysse Nardin Sonata Silicium is very popular
A Google search Silicon. You will find 1 500 000 results for this most common of the metalloids, otherwise known as the Silicon (Si14). Starting at number 11, you will find related to watchmaking results (these research results are updated, February 2009). It is remarkable, considering that Silicon has a wide variety of industrial uses and does not even figure in watch until the end of the 20th century. What is even more remarkable is how much coverage a mark, Ulysse Nardin, has managed to get on this subject, forever linking the mark with equipment.

Newbie looking at Royal Oak
For my 3rd watch, I'm interested in the AP RO 15450- either the SS or RG model.For me there is a lot to like about the AP RO, the design (the SS model looks fantastic and I love the metal bracelet), the fact that it's rare, and most importantly (this will sound silly)- I love the back of the watch. I love the clear caseback- when I was a kid, I owned a translucent swatch, I thought it was an amazing thing to see the inside of a watch. Then when I saw my first Patek Calatrava, I was blown away at the clear caseback and the beauty of its movement. I've been obsessed with getting a watch with a clear caseback to showcase the beautiful movement and from what I've seen, the 3120 is gorgeous and the gold rotor is stunning. I love it. Mandatory pics... I'm really liking the 15450. Either SS or the RG with brown strap. So I'm looking into these watches and am planning to buy one and keep it for life. I've got a few questions about them.1) Seems like the metal bracelets on the RO are ju

IWC BP vs PAM 233
Hi TRF,I am blessed to have an opportunity to acquire another piece. I am on the fence between acquiring the 2016 IWC Big Pilot (5009 with the number 9) or PAM 233 (am/pm). Here are my current humble collection to give you an idea of what I currently have: Black face SS Daytona, Yachtmaster, SubC, PAM 425 and PAM 557. I love both of them equally and acquiring both is not an option. Thanks TRF for your invaluable inputs.
