Summary: The Bible of the Watch Industry, The Best tool available
Review: This is an excellent tool if your a collector, admirer, in the biz or anyone considering a watch purchase. An incredible reference tool, great in helping one narrow down their likes and dislikes...my 3rd year in a row. There are a couple of others...however this one is the most objective and useful.

Summary: Ho-hum, not much different than prior years
Review: This year is much like last, with few new models and the same "puff piece" descriptions of the companies. They still don't give much info; for instance, the dial is never described. Watches International manages to include far more information on the pieces, though no prices and fewer brands. Nevertheless, Wristwatch Annual 2004 does give prices this year and also includes model numbers, unlike last year. If you're a watch newbie, this is a MUST for learning about the brands and models. If you're a watchaholic like me, you will undoubtedly order this volume anyway, but don't expect much reading pleasure. The market remains wide open for someone to step up and do a comprehensive annual catalogue.
