100% LED Concept Watch Will Be Available For Purchase Soon
A while ago this interesting LED watch was being displayed as a concept in Japan. I talked about it here in my excitement. Myself, and many others got really excited at the concept - though it had a few questionable characteristics that seemed to keep it from being practical. The big issue being power consumption, that I did of course mention. 100% even did exactly what I suggested they do, and that is display the time "on demand." This way you can maximize battery life by only displaying the LED lights when you want to see them (by pressing some button most likely) - saving battery life. Not sure where the button is going to be placed though.What is so cool about the design is that it is not really a watch, but a bracelet - one that has a hidden display for the time. The concept was very cool and I am happy that it will be available for sale soon. There has been no date announced yet but it should be within the next few months. Prices will likely be $400 and under given its electronic

Nautica NMX 400 Watch With Five Movements
This is a big and bold watch if I have ever seen one. Part of me likes the watch, part of me is a bit freaked out by it. The 58mm wide monster from Nautica is certainly inspired by brands like Ikepod and N.O.A. Nautica's result is the brand new Nautica NMX 400 you see before you (which looks nothing at all like the NMX 300). As part of the Timex Group, Nautica has been releasing some quite nice (and reasonably priced) watches as of late. Plus, they can enjoy wide distribution, so this watch won't just be a nice picture , you can actually get one in at a retail location. Still NMX 400 is the oddest of the 2009 watches from Nautica, though it might prove to be surprisingly useful in the right hands.Think of the watch has having two parts. First is the large "Zone 1" face with the larger dial, 12 hour chronograph, and date. Then are the four other "zones" which are literally their own watch faces that you can independent set. Don't ask how many batteries this Japanese quartz movement base

Going down the PM route...
Just when I thought I had achieved perfection with my collection, I've gotten the itch to add another... Thankfully I'm surrounded by a bunch of enablers here who won't judge me for my failings. I have my eye on a PM piece this time around (the 116519ln to be specific) and I find myself stuck -- unable to act -- as I consider the price of entry into the PM club.I've got the cash to do it, so this isn't an issue of stretching myself too thin. But I do like to make smart buying decisions and I like to go into things like this with eyes wide open.Some things that have me thinking twice about the PM investment:Is there a good time to buy a PM piece?Does PM result in more expensive maintenance costs over the long haul?Will I practically be able to wear PM on a regular basis or is it a special occasion watch only?For those of you who have taken the plunge, any regrets? Has anyone jumped into PM only to sell off the purchases and return to an all-steel collection?For those who are riding t

Tudor vs Rolex bracelet
I'm a bit infatuated with the Rolex oyster bracelet. Something about how when you shake or move the watch off the wrist, the bracelet is so solid that it doesn't wiggle at all or even make a sound. Are Tudor bracelets the same way? Thanks for any help!
