I even didn't like automatics because "if you go mechanical, buy manual movement options and w…
Another Rolex rant
So my wife decided she would like to get a two tone Rolex Lady Datejust. She configured her model online. The only problem, she couldn't decide about the size (28mm or 31mm).
No problem right. That's why we have Rolex Ads. To see the watche…

I decided to lower the number of my watches in collection to make room for a sports watch with a dial color that is NOT black.

White dial sports watch, but vintage?
I'm trying to find a fun strap monster type watch (a bracelet as original would be great too) from 38mm to 41mm in size (40mm is my sweet spot). White dial (not silver) and it should be older or vintage. I don't want a dress or dressy type of…

I've sold couple watches to finance my next single purchase. I'm set on buying a watch that costs 24.500,00 dollars (21.000,00 eur) new. First in precious metal (rose gold).

Sporty watch, that can be dressy when needed
I've sold my last watch that was a clear dress piece. I'm still in the need of a dressy watch from time to time and i kind of want a white dial sporty watch too. So instead of going classic WIS way of buying 2 watches, i'm thinking of bu…

I listed a watch for sale on Ebay (German version, EU. I'm also from EU country) yesterday. Today, i've got a buy/price suggestion for 20 EUR less then my list price from someone that registered on Ebay 2 days ago. It's a weird price sug…
