How To Sell Watches Without Selling Watches
People who read aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer are generally rather enthusiastic watch lovers. They buy watches because of the design, movement and of course the utility of the piece. You people are actually the elite bunch among the world of watch consumers. The industry calls you anything from "collector" to "enthusiast" and sometimes if you are lucky, "influencer."

I LOVE IT :D .It melts into the watch, I had to spend some time carefully fitting in the end-links and boy they are a tight fit. But I am chuffed with the watch now. It is complete.Enjoy the piccies fellas the steel collection as it looks now:

Rolex 118206 Platinum Day Date
My wife joined the Platinum club with a 36mm Platinum Day-Date with a Platinum Myriad diamond dial. She absolutely LOVES it. I honestly cannot believe how heavy it is compared to some of my other watches. Something special about a Platinum watch.

Go for the trade, or not?
AD is ok for a straight up trade between my 16610LV (V serial) to their JLC Master Control Date ()So that gives it a value for my LV at around $6300 (a little more than what I paid for). What do you guys think?
