aBlogtoRead.com Redesign: 2010 Makeover
New site design folks. It has been a long time coming and a lot of work went into the design and implementation. I would like to thank the designer and developer, and all of you for making it worth the time (and money). Please note that there will be little tweaks and enhancements to the site over the new few days and weeks. If you notice any problems, please report them to me.From a design perspective, the site concept is to present a technical and masculine feel, with a sense that whatever is being discussed on the site is something special. Even watch novices should come here and be impressed enough with the presentation to give the topics and items being discussed extra attention. I want you to be satisfied as a regular aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer reader, and have pride when showing the site off your peers. Thanks again, and I hope you continue to enjoy aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer.

Speedy Pro on a vintage strap.

PO 45.5mm Orange bezel...

Would love your input on this....
Yesterday, I picked up this bnib WG Daytona with the blue index dial. This morning I started to wonder if I should hold out for the grey panda dial instead. Not sure if this matters in the blue vs grey panda decision, but I currently own a WG Daytona with the Zenith movement (attached pic). Would you suggest the grey panda dial over the blue? Your input is much appreciated. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
