This is my fourth year buying this guide. Has helped me save and back off from buying watches I really want, but can live without until the price is right. This is extremely important when considering collectible and heirloom worthy watches. In the 5 to 25 thousand range.....

This review is from: Wristwatch Annual 2012: The Catalog of Producers, Prices, Models, and Specifications (Paperback)
I like all the watch-jargon info, and the pics/descriptions of the movements. But I wish I knew how they decided what models to put in the catalog. Only 1 page of B&R watches? That would be OK if it only included the newest models, but it doesn't.It's great to see many of the smaller watch houses getting some time in the catalog, there were several watches/companies I hadn't heard of before, and some I am now interested in.
And including the list prices for that watches is a requirement, nice to see that. Of course, some are "price on request", but that is to be expected for the unique and million dollar models.
Listmania!
