Save your money. Do not buy this book. The images are soft and more appropriate for a beauty product advertisement. In addition the individual images are smaller than in the past. Very disappointing for anyone interested in watches. In addition, returning the volume is a drag. You heard it here first.
 If you Loved 2007 edition you will still Love the 2008 Edition December 12, 2007

The book contains the same type of data as last year's edition as it gives the general background of each brand, the specs of each watch and the MSR Price.
A very good thing about this new edition is that contains more watch brands than the 2007 edition, less known brands, and it reviews more watch models from each manufacturer compared to last year's.
Of course this Book contains the the most representative New watches for this year from each manufacturer together with specs and pictures and the thing I love about this book is that it lists the Base Price of the watches ( price may vary depending on the final retailer ).
great book April 16, 2006

I am very pleased with the book as it covers most of the brands with a realisic price list that you can relate to when buying a watch. the problem arises from the fact that it relates to 2004 watches and it is called 2005,so if you are buying a new watch you will not know the price until it is too late.
I have the 2006 book (2005 watches)now and it is a great reference book to have

I have read the reviews here and have to disagree. How can anyone give this book just 1 star.
Its a very nice book and has some great quality pictures. It does not have too much content but its not that sort of book, it is a 2008 catalog. The author has done a super job putting it togther.
Essential Reading for New Wristwatch Nuts January 29, 2008

The Annual is an indispensable compilation of almost every worthwhile new watch available. It is also the only guide in English that I know of that lists retail prices. All the more fun when you find that great street price.
My only gripe this year is that the photos have all been made too small in an effort to get more content into as many pages. Admirable goal but the photos are fairly useless unfortunately so only a four star rating. Make the book thicker editors! We'll pay for it because then we'll be able to read it properly!
As an aside, is it just me or has anyone else noticed some mighty hefty price increases this year? Supply & demand is one thing but those crazy Swiss need to be careful of killing the [stainless steel these days - don't get me started about gold case prices!] proverbial swan-neck regulator.
Happy collecting.
