Orbita Sparta 1 Mini Giveaway Winner Follow Up
aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer reader Michael L. was the lucky winner of the Orbita Sparta 1 Mini Watch Winder giveaway help a few months ago. He was nice enough to take some images of his winnings and provide his thoughts. I reviewed the Orbita Sparta 1 Mini myself here. Overall I think he really liked the winder for its easy functionality and quite use. Though Michael is a man which larger wrists, and some of his watches may have felt large (but not necessarily too large in the winder). Here are his thoughts (I comment a bit in there as well).The winder is not overly large, yet I was very pleasantly surprised that it could hold my watches just fine. I have larger than normal wrists, 8.25-8.5" around and tend to wear larger watches. A good size for me is 46 mm, and I can go up to 52 mm without it looking too silly. Most of my automatics are between 46 and 48 mm.The Orbita winder comes with two different pillows. The thicker of the two fit perfectly for my watches with bracelets sized to my

In doubt about new PO C size....
First off: I'm recently converted I own and use a Rolex Explorer II - but I've falled in love with the new PO C. Partly because I'd like a bit more eyecatching everyday watch (I will keep the Rolex for more formal occasions) and partly because I find the Omega amazing!My question for you fellow watch-lovers is: Do you think it's alright to wear a 45,5 if you you're slim and your wrist isn't very sturdy? I'm not a small guy - 183cm - just not bigboned The watch I'll be buying:23230465101001-40.jpgMy arm with current watch:Explorer.jpgAnd my arm with old version PO C when I tried it in store:PO1.jpgI found the old version PO C to look great on my arm in the shop. And the new PO (found in other shop - just didn't take picture) looked even smaller actually. I guess it was due to the matt finish. Any critique - also negative - is welcome. I'd guess I'm not the first one to make this consideration before buying

Does anyone own the Seamaster with the Moonphase?
I'm curious as to how it works. Is it useful or more of a decoration?

After buying it cant wear it
I have bought/sold many watches last year ie( offshores , tt daytona, lv and sea dweller). My current collection is ( ROO elephant, ROO vampire, tt datejust 16013).last week I got the chance to buy tt submariner ceramic blue dial and to my surprise i loved it alot and asked my self why i did not think of it before . I bought it from AD brand new with all stickers at a perfect price and before wearing it i read here that there is probably a new movement coming to the professional line soon the 3235 which makes me felt a bit annoyed. I dont want to wear a watch that after a couple of months will be offered with updated movement thus i kept the watch in my drawer and waiting unpatiantly to basel this year. What do you guys think?? Noting that i bought the watch and may sell it to grey dealer for profit also
