This is the battle you knew that was coming. Both RJ and Daan fell in love with Breguet at a get-together late last year. It only took them a few months to add the watches they admired to their collection. And now that they’ve had the time to wear them for a little while, it’s […]

You know how some people on watch forums put up their watches for trade only? I always thought that to be a bit weird. I feel it’s very unlikely that you’ll easily find someone interested in your watch who has a watch you really desire. It also sounds like something more likely to happen with […]

Breitling ferociously chasing Tudor — I saw it happening while I was watching the Tour of Slovenia on television. A rider from the Tudor team attacked, and there was an immediate response from a Q36.5 team rider, a guy with big Breitling logos on his shirt. The Breitling guy caught the Tudor guy, and after […]

It has been a while since I curated a selection of watches for Fratello’s Pre-Owned Spotlight column, and truth be told, I wasn’t looking at other watches for a long time. I feel that my collection is (or was) quite where I want it to be, and everything on top is just that — on […]
