Very nice! I saw a white dialed UN diver in Vega in June that was similar. Sort of reminded me of a Yahtmaster. Great bracelet and HIGHLY polished (read scratch magnet...  ) My buddy who's registerd here but never posts (John Rigano) was/is close to buying one...his mood shifts daily on what his next new watch will be. ;D John |

I realize that, but like the GMT II enough to deal with the weight difference.
BTW, thanks for all the articles on your web site. I have enjoyed them all.

I'm pleased you got some value from my work. Keep an eye out on my web sites - I've got another couple of weeks work to the discussion forums, and both Reference Page sites, but after that I'll be able to focus on generating content again - articles and photos.

I want to make an adendum. My next will likely be a Glashutte. Got a line on one.

Actually, my mistake, not a Glashutte Original, but a Union Glashutte. I'm not big on gold watches, so I'm looking at either a Diplomat Panorama Date or a Classic Panorama Date. Can't decide if I like SS on white dial with batons vs SS on white dial with SS arabics and gold hands. Suggestions? www.union-glashuette.com/ |

Suggestions? www.union-glashuette.com/I'd probably go for the Diplomat power reserve myself - might even go for the gold hands. Union is a GREAT value watch. I tried to convince my publisher at IW watch to get one for me to review, but Union isn't ready to make a big push in the US this year so they declined our offer to review one of their watches. They use the same movements Glashuuette Original is using but with a lower level of finishing applied. Great value! John |

Alright! Clearance from the tower! So when are you pulling the trigger? AP is a VERY well respected brand, and the T3 is a huge watch. I tried on some AP's in Las Vegas in June and they just didn't do anything for me...Sorry!  Have you seen any in person? John |

Chronoswiss Opus will hopefully be my next purchase! Very cool - can you get a good deal where you work or is going grey market/used a more attractive option? John |

;D The great news is, we are about to become an authorized Chronoswiss dealer any day. Not sure what type of a deal I will be able to get - hopefully I will be able to buy directly from Chronoswiss.
I ahve been wanting one for some time and the price keeps climbing skyward!
I will have to sell a lot of watches this holiday season! ;D

I bought an Invicta from you through Swisssource.com a few years ago. Great deal and great watch. When do you work? I would like to meet you sometime. Also, I would love to the Chronoswiss watches in person. They appear to be top notch, and with a price tag to match. Luke Mayes |

John, funny you should say the Union Glashutte is a lower end finish than the Glashutte Original. Basically the GO is an almost completely hand-finished watch while a UG is hand finished by machine, as a Rolex would be.
So we're still talking an extremely good finish for a fraction of the price of a Rolex WITH a GO movement. As you said, an incredible 'value' watch.
