I get a lot of e-mails lately, to quote my best price on watches I even have never held in my hands. So, to clear a few things, I do not sell new watches. I might sell some used watches occasionally, from my own collection or those of friends, but I don’t sell new Breitling Bentley models or Patek Philippe Calatrava. People seem to think, after reading an article (some times full of bashing) they can order it right away. Oh, and I recently got two e-mails on the name Fratello Watches. To some it looks like a commercial name or website, but it is not. Fratello is Italian for Brother, which is Broer in Dutch, which is my last name. And Watches… well, that’s what it is about! (most of the time at least)Anyway, I am in Casablanca (Morocco) now so (I know) it is a bit quiet on the watch related posts, please be patient. I will be back on the 26th of September. In the meanwhile, enjoy new watch winder. A very special design and very suitable for Omega watches.Also check-out , although I don’t get his subtitle ‘The Unofficial Rolex Blog’ (will there ever be an official Rolex blog?) and I am curious when Rolex is going to write some letters to them because they use the name Rolex in the URL (remember www.redsubmariner.com? He had to rename it, is his latest ). Anyway, congrats and goodluck to another fellow watchblogger!

Watch brand IWC has added to its Portofino collection with a ticker which has garnered praise from one source.The Watch Observer has awarded the Portofino Chronographe a handsome rating of 70 out of 100, noting a wealth of appealing elements.For one, the news source has described the dial of the timepiece as being "as simple as it is elegant", highlighted by the fact that the IWC and Schaffhausen border the sleek date window at three o'clock.Reading the time is easy for fashion watch fans too, thanks to polished-steel applied markers gleaming off a solid black dial.A touch of colour is added to the watch's display via subtle red elements appearing on the 30-minute and 12-hour subdials.Consumers can choose between either an alligator leather or stainless-steel strap to finish off the design, both offering plenty of appeal.The Portofino Chronographe joins a trio of other watches in the range – the Portofino Dual Time, the Portofino Automatic and the Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days timepieces.Each looks to honour the well-known Italian village that sits on the coast of the Mediterranean, which has entertained by such great names as Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor.
