Welcome watches-dealer, The New aBlogtoRead
You've probably noticed a few changes around here. Welcome to a redesigned and renamed aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer, which will from here on out be known as "watches-dealerwatches-dealer." I'd like to tell you a bit about some of the new features, and what we feel is a great new way to enjoy your favorite watch website.Five years ago in 2007 when I started aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer I didn't know that it was going to be an "all watch" website - which might explain the original name of the site. A few weeks after I started the blog it became clear to me that it was going to focus on watches, perhaps exclusively. For a while I toyed with the idea of changing the name, but it never happened. I even went so far as to register a few possible new domain names. One, that was an obvious choice (as even indicated by early readers and friends of the site) was "watches-dealer." I don't need to explain why the new name makes sense, and hope you welcome it.The reason for my long-standing hesitation in

Thoughts on this Combo?
What do you guys think of this combo? I'm really please with the quality and fit, not to mention it's shorter than my OEM rubber!

Help me choose besteen an Ed White and a Red Sub
Hello friends,A watch nerd buddy asked me question the other day:If you had to decide between a Speedmaster Ed White or a Red Sub feet first mark 4 or mark 5 dial, which one would you choose?I selected Mr White... cause that's what I wear.But since then I've been wondering - if I owned a Red Sub mark 4 as well, the decision would be much more difficult. If push came to shove and I could only live with one watch maybe it would be the Red Sub. I don't know... which would you have if you had to choose?

Went into a Patek dealer today.
So on my lunch break today I walked into Westwood, CA. There is a small jewelery store, Morgan Jewelers in Westwood. I have walked by it probably a dozen times and always marvelled at the PP in the window. So today I pop in and take a look around. I start talking to the guy behind the counter, super nice guy, he new I was a young guy without enough cash to be serious but he was nice enough to show me some stuff and shoot the breeze. I thought that I would be totally dismissed due to my age, 25, but the guy working was really nice. Now on to the watches, WOW, I have always admired PP, however, when you're looking at a case of about 50 of them, it's pretty cool. Now I just need to start saving, guess it's a good think I work for a bank, might need to open a PP account.

Anyone looking forward to getting the BB58
I'm going to get the BB58 in around July when it comes it. From the reports I have seen, it wears very similar to the 14060 and has all the modern traits. What I like about it though is how it floats under the radar. While I enjoy the Sub, Daytona and BLNR (dad now has!) there is something really cool about having a watch that only enthusiasts really understand. Say with a client and all they stare at is the Sub or the Daytona it can be a tad uncomfortable so I am really looking forward to this one. My aim to to wear it on leather/strap etc and even though the Pepsi x2 have taken the limelight I am genuinely excited by this one. My concern is they bring it out the with red bezel, which I prefer, but I think I'll just have both if they do. I think the Sub is on its way out as I haves scratched that itch and feel modern and new is what in prefer in Rolex. R
