WATCH WINNER REVIEW: Davosa Vanguard Automatic
As a special supplementary watch giveaway in June 2015, watches-dealer audience members had a chance to win a Davosa Vanguard Automatic watch. The winner, Anthony E. has followed-up with a watch winner review of his new watch below. Thanks to him and everyone who participates in watches-dealer giveaways.First and foremost, I am extremely fortunate and very proud to have won such a beautiful timepiece. My heartfelt appreciation and thanks to the watches-dealer and Massdrop teams for making this timepiece available in the contest. I actually became interested in the Davosa brand when I first saw it featured in the 2013 Wristwatch Annual catalog publication of fine timepieces�� and as luck would have it, you have made it possible for me to own Davosa's latest design. Thank you!Last but not least, I tip my hat to the Davosa team for creating the Davosa Vanguard model. The wristwatch is a cut above some of my other high-end watches in the same price range that include Maurice Lacroix, TAG He

So glad I never Fell in Love with Nautilus
I deeply appreciate I never felt in love with this Genta design. People can have their taste. Fair & Square. Not in a +100 years I would pay the market overprice demands for a 5711 or 5712.For these hysterical prices there are +100 watches I would prefer to own.To each his own. So glad I don't see the artistic and aesthetic brilliance in the Nautilus.I see a boring grey steel 1970s Airport disaster movie with Burt Lancaster.

Need help on a dress watch!!
I'm trying to decide on a dress watch and am agonizing over the decision. It is either a Patek 5196P or a 5146 wg w/slate dial. I know that they are very different but that said I only plan on having 1 dress watch. I like the calatrava because it is the best one Patek offers. The dial is amazing, the watch is discrete, the platinum feels great and the diamond adds a really nice touch that makes the piece feel very special at least to me. The annual calendar is a fantastic piece as well. Automatic is nice, vs. manual wind for the calatrava. The AC offers so much watch! Dial is also great and I like the lume and the all around complication. Both pieces are amazing, yet very different, but I can only justify one. My other watches include an Aquanaut, a bunch of different older/vintage sea dwellers and subs, and a speedy. Here are some pics and I truly welcome your feedback and thoughts.
