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

D?ttling GrandCircle Watch Winder Wonder Box
Feast your eyes on one of the sexiest watch winders ever created. I will write more about it later, but this is the new GrandCircle winder by Dottling in Germany. There will only be 20 ever made.The furniture includes 52 watch winders, a safe, a bar, a clock, a cigar humidor, and yes - stereo. Dottling calls it grand, I call it Valhalla. Don't get your hopes up though, it costs 195,000 Euros.

Authentic ROO bracelet?
Hi everyone m, I recently bought this preowned new style AP ROO bracelet for 42 on eBay and wanted to authenticate it. One thing that concerned me was the lack of serials on the bracelet. Please see attached pics. I really appreciate your input!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ultrasonic Cleaners
I've been thinking of getting a cheapo one for about a year and yesterday laid down my cash. I took off the GMT (2234) bracelet and scrubbed it with dish wash liquid, water and a tooth brush. When I had got it super clean I put it in the ultrasonic to see if it would really dislodge unseen dirt from between the links and in the pins. I filled the little tank with water and put in a little concentrated ultrasonic cleaner and, well, after 3 minutes the water was black. These things really do work! Ran it for another 3 minutes in clean solution and got a little more out second time. My Omega bracelet is now as clean as the day I bought it. From now on I'm going to run my bracelets through this puppy once a year.

Insurance on Watches
I wanted to see how many of you guys had insurance on your time pieces. I have only this one Panerai and I was thinking about getting insurance on it since I have insurance on the wife's ring in case it gets lost or stolen but wondered if it was worth getting on the watch.I got quoted at $755 a year for insurance to add it to my homeowners. As much as i love the piece of mind I am wondering if it's really worth it. At that rate I could just save it up and buy a new watch in a few years lol.EDIT: Just heard back about insurance. That was the price of everything I have on the policy together lol. Other Jewelry, homeowners etc...not just the watch alone...sorry guys.
