If you are looking for the perfect, get in the market at the right time purchase of a vintage watch, the Rolex model 1675 is it! Twice removed from the current GMT model, the perfect price, and out there for the taking! If you want one of these get on the hunt, for the day will come and it might be soon, that they will be harder to find than a good Deli in North Dakota! Look for the T dials, and nice cases. Bezel inserts and the like can be had, so don’t sweat the small stuff, grab what ya can! Good luck.
If you’re into watches and I know you are, check out some of the new Iphone apps. from participating watch companies. You can use the T-touch by Tissot, take apart a JLC and pick from a broad array of other goodies all “geared” to the watch enthusiast. Nothing really takes the place of the Grail watch you want, but a guy can dream! It won’t be long before all catalogs and specifications are right there at your finger tips. CTWG

A virtual try on? Picking watches just got a little bit easier, Tissot of Switzerland just launched a new site to virtually try on their T-Touch series watches. Now from the comfort of your home you can slip into a new timepiece, change your mind and go back for another! “The Swatch Group brand says it is the first time a Swiss watch brand has used 3-D augmented reality technology” Well, we like it! Matrix style watch sales are to come in the future, and then virtual buyers remorse probably soon after. If you wish to try watches in real life situations, I am available at Henne Jewelers. CTWG
Longiness puts it on the line! Swatch brand longiness has launched an official on-line store? Seems to be the thing to do, but is it the way of the future? Probably not, watch companies really are not trying to sell watches on-line for the most part. They could sell some pieces and it is easy to launch, still they want to highlight product, have you look at it and push you to a dealer for real service. Trending in this direction will continue, read more at Wristwatchreview.com.CTWG
Omega Moon Watch lovers, still will be able to get their fix this year! The classic Omega staple has been introduced in Basel 2010 with a Meteorite dial limited series, again. I myself am a lover of the classic piece as shown above, but it is nice that you could collect a series. The “Patch’ 50 year, 40 year Moon Watch commemorative and now the Meteorite would make a great series to strive for in your collection. All models are relatively new for collectors, so you should be able to get them rather easy. Give these time and you will be sitting pretty. CTWG

Everyone is anticipating the arrival of the new Steel Submariner! I don’t know as Gospel, but I would say the chances of the introduction are strong. I will be in Basel soon and everyone will be stealing shots of the new Rolex pieces. I hope myself the steel Submariner comes out and we can get the time frame of the arrival. This piece will be incredibly hard to get out of the gates, so place yourself in line now in hopes the spring brings the Sub! Other hopefuls being the Explorer II remake and GMT’s with colored bezels again, Blue-Red etc. Any sneaky, Dick Tracy leeks on the stuff is welcome!CTWG
