Bas a well know person on the vintage rolex forums and a respected collector of Panerai has a webshop (Cosimo) with very nice watches. Focus mainly on Rolex, Panerai and Tudor.

Bas is well respected and I hope all will work out well for him.
It is not only watches he sell - but he can also help with watch repair if that is needed.
I would love some of these watches....:

I have added one more respected internet watch shop on my list of "approved" places. I found it after searching for a specific watch and after been checking it out over some time and having all my emails answered promptly, friendly and professional.

I now have one more watch shop I have to visit once to twice a week just to check out all the nice watches.
Now my only problem is saving up to my next watch.
I can recommend only recommend you to visit "Kroon Watches" where I have had a good and professional talks with Marco from Kroon Watches.
I can only dream of many of the watches they have e.g.

• Royal Oak Jumbo
• Submariner no date
• Milgauss
• GMT Master II Ceramic
• Deepsea Seadweller
• Deepsea Seadweller
• ...

They also have special watches - maybe not for me - but it's nice to see them as a WIS.

Found this posted on the internet - a new forum I didnt know about - well the Internet is so full of information.

Found this page that listed all the watch brands where you can receive a catalog from. You can try.
Some are limited to the US - but some can be ordered over the internet.

I have NOT contacted them - yet - I might do it - but taking one at a time.

Found another web-shop I will ad to my weekly checkup - they have "my brands" - Rolex and Panerai.
Now I only have to win the lottery in order to get 1-2-3 new watches here in 2010.

So add this to your bookmarks and start to dream ;-)

The watch web-shop is www.kroonwatches.com

Just to let you know of a super guy that has started his own watch netshop after being partner in another well respected online watchshop.
I can only recommend Alex's new watchshop with his focus on new watches to a good price, his ability to find used watches at a very reasonable price and last but NOT least when dealing online. I can say that you will be treated very well and he will do his best to give you a super service.
Check out his watches both new and old, and of many brands.
But mainly he has watches that any watch "freak" will find very interesting. I for one keep his watchshop in my bookmarks and check it out weekly.
If only I had the money I would know many watches I could get for my small collection.

So check out his shop here : www.bestoftime.eu

The people in the Nederlands are very lucky - I do think the Nederlands (Holland) have some of the higher quality shops for vintage watches.
Well so fra I have 3-4 webshops I do check out on a weekly if not daily basis - for information and just for fun - to see if my next dream watch is somewhere out there.!!!
This time it is the www.steinermaastricht.nl that has come to my attention.
Checkout some of these "clocks" - including my grail watch - the Rolex MILSUB!!!

We I have some spare time I normally visit watch forums, online dealers and general check out any information I can find, related to watches - mostly Rolex and Panerai but I do tend to look at other watches as well (Omega, AP, etc).
It is both a very positive thing to view nice watches but at the same time it can be very frustrating - seeing all these nice watches and don't have the money right now to get one - but hay that is how it is to be a WIS - You can enjoy looking at watches without buying them. People that are not WIS will not understand this - but let me keep one of my small hobbies.


So without holding back I bring some nice online shops in the EU that is on my weekly checkup list - or maybe bi-weekly.

This time I focus on shops in Germany - as I would prefer to do business inside EU and not be forced to pay extra tax and VAT.

I will ad these to my links page as well

There are many websites around on the net - and I try to visit as many as possible - but some are "better" than others. I have always checked www.fratellowatches.com That site will give you hours of enjoyment and high quality information from the watch world.
The autor of this site also makes contributions to WorldTempus’s Chronicles. But check out his site and lets all share the pasion of watches !

As a true WIS I do link to look at watches in magazines, in movies, on people, on photos, etc. But I also like to read through a watch magazine. And the good part is that this I can keep for my self. The wife have no idea why I like to sit and read about watches (also related to books). So I have found links to some of the worlds watch magazines, or magazines that have watch related information in them.
