Watch What-If Piaget Altiplano 43 Automatic
"Watch What-If" is a special column on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer that asks the playful question "what if an iconic watch you know and love was offered in a different style?" The idea embraces a good timepiece's core design and has fun by offering new colors and material concepts to stimulate your senses. These ideas may be provocative, artistic, or just plain silly. This is about fun, Photoshop, and the celebration of wrist watch design and experimentation. The original design we work off will always be at the bottom of the article. The designs are brought to life by Beau Hudspeth who does the artwork and concepting after he and I choose the models and styles to focus on. These special design experiments are extremely time consuming and labor intensive but we hope you enjoy the results. Ideas and comments are more than welcome. Enough response may even lead to a round two of design of the same watch - so please comment below. You are also encouraged to suggest watches that make it into

Watch demagnetization in the Toronto area
Hi, my AP diver is now running -8 seconds slow per day again after months of excellent time keeping. The last time this happened it was sent to Clearwater for 6 weeks and it turned out the watch got magnetized. I'm hoping it's the same issue. Does anyone in the Toronto area know where I can go and have it demagnetized? Thanks in advanceEverettSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Speedy bezel disappeared!
Sorry for posting in the Rolex forum but I know many of you own speedmasters and thought I would get the most helpful answers here. I just purchased a BNIB speedmaster 3570 in June and have been wearing it daily since. Sometime last night while I was out and about, the bezel fell off and disappeared! I was staring at my watch wondering why it looked different....took me a few seconds to realize what happened. I'm still shocked that this happened....I didn't hit or bump the watch on anything and there isn't a scratch to be seen on the crystal or the case. For a watch that was NASA certified I'm absolutely stunned. Has anyone else seen this happen? Could this be a warranty claim or am I stuck buying a new bezel?Thanks for reading....any advice you can offer is much appreciated.

Hello. I have seen on eBay a NOS Speedmaster X-33 gen 2. The seller was asking $ 5150. What do you guys think? Which would be the right price for a NOS?

AD offered me their first SS Pepsi
Over the past couple of years I've developed a wonderful relationship with my AD. He shoots me straight and takes care of me. I've gotten my choice of DaytonaC with minimal wait and several other pieces harder to obtain. No granted that VIP treatment did not happen over night but the more business I did with the more priority I was give. I get that, its business. You take care of your best and repeat customers. At any rate, got a call the other day asking if I wanted to be first on the list for the SS Pepsi. I declined, as I'm not a GMT man but greatly appreciated the offer and consideration. In our short conversation I did ask him how much interest the new SS Pepsi was generating. He said it was about like any other Basel release. He has had a few inquiries of course but wanted to give me the option of getting the watch before anyone else just passed it onto the grey market.
