I never have been a big quartz watch lover, Breitling Aerospace, a Locman or two. I have a few nice quartz pieces, I dig the Locman watches, some tech. watches, but I have never been drawn to the dark side as much as this Campanola. I read the article in Watch Time about the dude that went over the edge on the pieces, and I feel for him. I feel myself wanting one also, quartz or not. I will never give up my automatic pieces, still the little fingers of the Asian man lacquering the dial on the Campanola till his tips wore away! Magic! CTWG

Pilots watches, I love them! Many of my fellow watch collectors share this appreciation also, still if you think the best is IWC please re-adjust your thought process. Several companies make the Pilot look and I like a great deal of them, just not the IWC. IWC is over priced!….
Look at the movement picture above-On the left Glashütte Original on the right IWC. A Picture may be worth a thousand words, but a 2892 ETA is not worth $5000.00+. Buy a Fortis easyreader-Fleiger and then save for the Glashütte, it will be worth it in the long run. CTWG

So, I like tea, and I do put cream in it. It is not a crime to enjoy some Old English habits now and again. Better yet, it is always good to know tea time is at 4:00 and be prompt! You knew I would link it somehow, come on I try! You don’t see a great deal of English watch companies these days, but their heritage in the business is strong and product appreciation even better. Check the new offerings from a start up out of G.B. called IWI. Interesting gage style with a 12 high crown, a guys watch no doubt, real nice for everyday(that means send me one and I will wear it).CTWG
P.S. I have never beat the Brits in any Judo matches, whats in that tea, Ippon leaves?

You want some Italian sprit and style in your hum-drum life? Check the newest limited edition from Locman. The Aeronautica “Militare” is a sweet little number that has a great deal of “guy checkpoints”. Steel, rubber and carbon-fiber make up the Trinity of guy-style components, a perfect sporty orologio offering. CTWG

I was thinking about what watch would I wear to sport the ultra classy side of CTWG. Weddings, special engagement, those kind of functions etc. If you don’t have the scratch for a Patek what would you pick? You want to Fly under the radar but, hit the folks with something special, the class piece. My pick? Ahh yeah, understated and sweet, the Gerald Genta jump hour! Who heard of it? No one! Although they know it is choice! CTWG

Only Rolex could take a style that sold moderate in years past and turn it around into the most sought after watch of the season. The Milgauss is of course the original anti-magnetic watch that ran with some other brands back in the day for anti-magnetic pride. Still it has some value this day and age also. I often times have customers that work in hospitals or with computers that magnetize their timepiece. So if you want one, for those lines of work, great. It is functional and a handsome watch! Maybe in two or three years it will be available for ya, good luck. CTWG

Most people know Michael Kobold as a “Watch Guy”, someone who has a Cult following of fine timepieces and makes military style tickers second to none! Well folks check out the New Mens Vogue and Maniac Magazines to see what some of his style centered followers have to say! He may be the next Derek Zoolander in the making. This is the time on CTWG that we dance!

FAKE TAG HEUER WATCHES RUN ABOUT $149.00
I have been in the watch business for some time and I still seeing huge jumps in the Pre-owned market comparatively from years passed. I too have purchased from time to time the “Can’t Ressist” item from the internet and although being a retailer I have to say there are some great buys out there. The internet has made the watch business blossom, not hurt it! (Kobold i.e.) Still the Latin proverb Caveat Emptor rings true. People are still bringing Explorer I “False-EX” watches in and thinking they found the Arch of the Covenant. Use your head folks, ask questions, email the source, know the product or find someone who does. Watches in general have great reference points, I.D. numbers, check points!(Ask me for God sake) Even the super savvy get caught, I myself have to open ever Franck Muller brought in to see the movement because of the quality of the fakes on the market. I want you to have fun buying watches, chasing deals not ebay ghosts, happy ”safe” hunting . CTWG
