Movado Museum Dial Watch Ready For A Return? Movado Thinks So: Its History & Horwitt's Struggle
Movado Museum Classic WatchMovado recently began quietly shipping this new Movado Museum Dial Classic watch collection to its retailers. The new watch model is a slight revision on the longstanding Movado Museum Dial watch collection that has been around for what feels like ages. In the early 2000s, the apparent ubiquity in previous years of Movado Museum Dial timepieces seemed to slowly subside from mainstream culture, replaced by a? host of other timepiece styles. This change happened without a bang, and I don't think that many people gave too much notice to the lowering popularity of the Movado Museum Dial watch. Movado, of course, never stopped making Museum Dial timepieces, and in fact, the last decade or so has had more Movado Museum Dial style designs than ever before.Having said that, none of the more experimental, modern, or utilitarian watches Movado produced that were inspired by the original Movado Museum Dial felt as complete or successful as the original design concept cr

Orbita Sparta 1 Mini Giveaway Winner Follow Up
aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer reader Michael L. was the lucky winner of the Orbita Sparta 1 Mini Watch Winder giveaway help a few months ago. He was nice enough to take some images of his winnings and provide his thoughts. I reviewed the Orbita Sparta 1 Mini myself here. Overall I think he really liked the winder for its easy functionality and quite use. Though Michael is a man which larger wrists, and some of his watches may have felt large (but not necessarily too large in the winder). Here are his thoughts (I comment a bit in there as well).The winder is not overly large, yet I was very pleasantly surprised that it could hold my watches just fine. I have larger than normal wrists, 8.25-8.5" around and tend to wear larger watches. A good size for me is 46 mm, and I can go up to 52 mm without it looking too silly. Most of my automatics are between 46 and 48 mm.The Orbita winder comes with two different pillows. The thicker of the two fit perfectly for my watches with bracelets sized to my

AP ROO Ti Bracelet?
I sent an email to Clearwater but didn't get a response, figured I would ask here.I know you can purchase the SS and Gold ROO bracelet straight from AP. Can you also purchase one in Ti? I'm thinking ahead on the 'Grey Ghost' piece and would like to have the versatility of bracelet as well as the rubber (plus I think it will look fantastic). If anybody has any info on this (and pricing) it would be great. I was thinking it's possible, as models such as the 26170TI.00.1000TI.01 were full titanium with bracelet.

NY Limited Editions
I will admit to being Patek-curious and somewhat intrigued by the 5522A. I know there were 600 released and they sold for about $21.5k and are currently about double that in the For Sale forum.The 5230G NY edition was limited to only 300 pieces and was offered at $53.2k and is currently available for about $70k here.I know the original price points are very different, but am surprised that the % premium for the WG world time model is somewhat less than the SS Calatrava pilot's watch. Does this surprise anyone else, or is it a case of SS being hot combined with the more fan friendly original entry point of the 5522A?

Changing Dial from Black to White
I really want a PP 5085 with a white dial. I just can't find one anywhere.So, I am considering changing the dial from black to white after I buy one.I have no idea where to start. Is it possible? Is it sensible? Is it costly? Should I just keep looking? Should I learn to like the black dial?Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.TIA
