After extensive research and vast insider knowledge of the global watch industry, and history of watch making, I made the another important list to ever be made about watches by any website. This is the most correct and definite list about the best and most luxurious mid-level wristwatch brands of all times. I already listed the top 10 best high luxury watch brands for men , the creme de la creme of wristwatches for men. Now this list is meant for people who don't have a 10,000 USD on hand to buy an entry level high luxury watch, but still want a decent brand: 1. Glashütte Original | DE | Since 1994 Germany is after Switzerland the 2nd most important country in high-end luxury watchmaking, and Glashütte is the magical name that signifies the pinnacle of German craftsmanship.

In fact, I'm following several such channels since early 2015, that is over 2 years now, so I do have some knowledge about which channels are popular, and what they're all about. This post is the second edition of the list, I have published the first one in December 2016 . Let us see how much has the situation changed in a little bit less than half a year.

USB Type-C dongles and adapters are a necessity for everybody who's recently purchased a MacBook or a MacBook Pro. Now that I have preordered my new MacBook Pro "13 inch without TouchBar, I am also looking to snag some USB-C dongles and adapters, as well as other accessories, such as an external drive or pen drive. I researched the web and this is my list of all the USB-C accessories that I would recommend to anybody, who's living the future today. 1. USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter | by Apple This dongle is my top choice, and I have preordered one for my new MacBook Pro.

If your computer isn't connected to AC power, be sure to unplug the adapter to avoid draining your battery. This adapter allows you to simultaneously: - Charge your Mac. - Connect to other standard US...

I made this overview of all Nikon F-Mount lenses , because I have just recently switched to Nikon, and I'm trying to find the best Nikkor or 3rd party lenses for my new camera. I knew that Nikon has a huge native lens selection ( as compared to Sony's measly one ), but I never expected it to be so amazingly huge. This list will be continuously updated, for now it only consists of auto-focus lenses (FX and DX are split in 2 sheets).
