A Guide To Avoiding Fake Watches
Over on Forbes we published a useful article called "The Truth About Replica Watches." You may or may not know that I write about watches and luxury regularly over on Forbes. We don't typically point watches-dealer readers over to my posts there, but I encourage you to follow my articles on Forbes. Having said that, in this instance we felt it was worth sharing a guide-style article we did helping to educate people about fake watches.It is true that overall we tend to admonish the purchase of fake watches, but perhaps for reasons you might not expect. The replica watch industry, no matter how underground it may be, is still a billion dollar plus market each year. Timepieces are among the most mass produced fake items around, and for good reason: people want watches and watches are expensive. If you are curious about fake watches or the reasons people buy them. Or perhaps you just need to be talked out of it, head over to "The Truth about Replica Watches" here ?

The Marcello C. Senatore, A Curious Wink To The Rolex Daytona That I Want To Get My Hands On
I've said some negative things about Rolex. I think they act really slow, haven't innovated much lately, and play it too safe. Regardless, Rolex has a few powerful classic designs under its belt. The two major ones for me are the Submariner lines, and the Daytona. Speaking of the Daytona, I understand that it is one of the most desirable watches on the planet from a demand standpoint, meaning more people want one, that can get one. Rolex has taken this opportunity to increase the prices dramatically. Meaning you can't really get one for under $10k. Steep.Well what do you do when you want a something like a Daytona, but can't afford or get one. Sure there are legions of "imitations" that are simple low cost alternatives or play out fakes, but you aren't that type of person? You like the style, but you want something nice you can be proud of on your wrist. For me, this is a totally logical approach to satisfying a need. Others feel that if you can't afford a Rolex, you don't deserve to w

New admiration for the ROO
Hi guys. I've been a Panerai/Rolex guy for a while, but recently acquired a taste for the AP. I've tried on various Royal Oaks, but always thought the ROO was too big for me. I had a chance today to try on a pair of Offshore models, and I think I am hooked.The AD had the new 26400 titanium model, as well as a Silver dial model. I am now considering trading my PAM 335, and possibly my Hulk for this model. The silver dial really sings to me.I also had a few questions.1) Do you think the watch looks too big on my wrist?2) I've noticed that some ceramic bezels have the awesome vertical brush finishing, and some (maybe due to photo lighting) seemed to not have them. Do all the 26400 models have the vertical brushed finish?3) Are there any differences between the I and J series for the silver dial? Thanks again everyone.
