Bianci Ladies Watches Make For Decent Gifts
We get a lot of requests to write about "more affordable" watches - which is tough as we are such high-brow snobs. Having said that, watches-dealer is produced by regular people whose budgets are probably closer to beer than champagne much of the time. So, here are a couple of watches from Bianci.You'll find these watches at various stores online often for discounts compared to the "retail prices." Each of these watches retails for somewhere in the $400 range, but are less when you look around for them online. These are decent timepieces and they are also fashionable. Bianci's best designs are for women, while they also have a men's collection.Buying watches as gifts for women is hard when you don't have Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, or Rolex amounts of money to spend. Your typical department store fare is often generic looking or boring, and worse, you can get a woman a gift that a few of her friends already have. I am pretty sure they hate that sort of thing.These two watches are

Great White serial number missing?
Hi all....haven't posted for a while.I put my Great White in for a service a couple of weeks ago at my local jewellers who I have been using for Omega, Rolex and Tudor servicing for many many years (first name terms with a very friendly and educated team)Paid my deposit and off my watch went to the UK Omega service centre......after a week or so I got an e-mail to let me know that there had been an estimate for the servicing of my watch and would I like to go ahead....the estimate seemed about right so of course I agreed to them performing all the necessary work.An hour ago I had another e-mail - Omega are returning my Great White un-serviced as there are no serial number markings on the watch, I must say that the tech in the jewellers did comment that she thought it odd that there were no markings on the outside of the case, I just thought it must be particular to that model due to the extensive brushing of the case and bracelet......I am sure I have paperwork for the watch at home, I

5960p - Which dial color?
Hello all. Wanted to get everyone's opinion on which 5960p dial you would prefer if you had to choose one. As most of us know, the black dial is more rare due to its short production run, wanted to see what your thoughts and opinions are of the three dial colors: black, blue and gray and why. Is it safe to assume the gray dial has the longest run and is most readily available?Thanks in advanceWillieHere are photos borrowed online:

AD says 510 not available till September
I'm in Canada and tried finding out if the 000...005..111 and even the 510 and was told by the AD that none are available and the 510 won't be available till September. I thought the 510 was released last year? Shouldn't it be available. The only one they had in stock around my price range is a 113 but don't know if I can pull the trigger on my first PAM as a white faced one. Is the 510 really not available anywhere in Canada yet? I would at least like to track a 111 new from an AD. I always feel comfortable buying from an AD.Are there no discounts on any Panerai...or is it just the base models they don't discount?Thanks.
