IWC Wins Reader Voted Best Luxury Watch Brand On Luxist
I recently nominated a few key luxury watch brands for a reader poll on Luxistwatches-dealer. The poll was to determine what brand people considered to be the top luxury brand.

It wasn't a matter of who necessary made the best looking or most mechanically perfect watches, but rather about perception.As such, I made the obvious choices.

This is a short list of twelve watches that we know to exist, have serious interest in, but have seemingly gone missing.

Help with next purchase, RO ROC ROO
I need your advice for my next purchase So my watches for now are the 116610LV and the AP Diver, and planning on getting an AP nextMy options are the RO 15400 blue dial, or ROC blue dial, or I might be able to get the Milano boutique edition but I will miss the bracelet on that one. If I get one of these I might be able to get the Rolex GMTII BLNR as well. Or maybe the 44mm ceramic with the anthracite dial but I won't be able to get the BLNR if I do this, I may also have to sell my subI really love the ROC but the movement not being in house and not an exhibition case back is bothering me a bit, and the 15400 is gorgeous but it looks a bit small on my wrist as it is slightly thinner than the ROC and lacks the extra pushers, the 44mm is amazing in every way but giving my current collection and what I would have to let go to get it, this is a hard choice!What would you do if you were me? And so sorry for the long read
