Roland Iten R8 Mk.II Luxury Belt Buckle Hands-On Exclusive
Yes, it isn't a watch, but it is what a belt buckle is when made and designed by watch makers, and people in the watch making world. I haven't specifically written about Roland Iten before on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer, but he is an inventor and a designer - and he is very talented. Roland Iten is based in Switzerland, and his items are totally made in Switzerland. Few people have his eye for aesthetic, taste, and engineering. He is sort of an ultra suave nerd - my kinda guy. In fact, in his words, the three principles that lead all of his designs are "performance, skill, and sophistication." The implication is that these elements are what make his inventions interesting, are why his clients are attracted to the luxury gadgets he creates. What I like is that his products are all useful.

Help With Information for Vintage Seamaster
I was hoping somebody here could give me some info about this older Seamaster. It was my grandfather's and we found it in a drawer when he passed away. The local jeweler basically told me it is almost impossible to pinpoint a production year or get any real info about an older Omega but I thought it would be worth a shot.

Omega PO Bracelet / End Link Question
Hi everyone,This might be a silly​ question, but I tried looking and couldn't find the answer. I want to put a steel bracelet on my 45.5mm 600m PO Ceramic Chrono.

Do they use the exact same bracelet or is there a small difference - end links perhaps due to the thicker case and lugs?Thanks in advance!

Looking at vintage Speedmaster Pro- what to look for?
Hey,Now that I've got a Planet Ocean; I've been bitten by the bug...I saw a vintage Speedmaster Pro the other day at the local Jeweler... Priced 1975 it was a caliber 861 movement. The person there didn't know too much about it but gave me the email of the watch guy. What questions should I be asking; what should I be looking for. It looked like it was in quite nice shape....thanks!drccw

Flip SubC Date for 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller...would you?
Hi all, I have a SubC Date that was my first Rolex (and gifted to me), now sitting around unworn for quite a while. My other two watches are a Hulk and a Batman, which I rotate. I'm more and more considering selling the Sub and getting a 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller, cause it is similar to the Sub, but yet very different. With these thoughts, and a price difference of $5k, give or take, would you do it?Thanks!
