Halios Delfin PVD Review
Halios watches probably needs little introduction on worn&wound. Over the last few years, the Vancouver based dive watch brand has earned a reputation for making great, unique watches. We previously reviewed two versions of their Tropik watches, one in bronze and the other in steel, both of which earned high regards from us. Stylish, restrained, well built, well priced�� they were hard not to like.Last October, Jason, the founder of Halios, brought his wares down from Canada to show at our Wind-Up: NYC event. He had on display samples of all of his watches, from the coveted 1000M Puck to his newest at the time and the topic of this review, the Delfin. It was love at first sight. I'm not sure how many times I went over to his booth and quietly picked it up to ogle and try on, but hopefully I didn't annoy him too much. Needless to day, I knew I had to review it.Fast forward a few months and here we are with the Delfin PVD, the follow up to the initial stainless model. Sporting a sophi
Introducing The Breitling Transocean 38, A Smaller, Less Complicated Addition To The Transocean Line
Breitling is expanding its Transocean line with the new Transocean 38, which keeps the understated size and looks while losing a complication or two in the process. The Transocean 38 retains much of the charm first captured in the original 1950's models, adding modern touches with minimal flair. In a move we've seen before from Breitling, the new model will measure in at a scant 38 mm in diameter, and be ambiguously marketed at both male and female consumers. We've discussed this tactic before in our review of the Transocean Chronograph 38, and maintain that it shouldn't stand in the way of appreciating a great watch. 2 OF 3 The Transocean 38 becomes the least complicated watch in the line, keeping business simple with a small seconds hand at 6 o'clock, and a distinctive twin-aperture date window at 12 o'clock. We'd go one further and say the watch would do just fine sans the seconds hand at all. Styling is familiar to the Transocean line, meaning large hour batons, thin,
First Patek��.Tough Decision
I went down to the local AD in Denver this afternoon to try on some watches. I had never had a Patek on my wrist, but I have decided that I want to add one to my collection. The AD didn't have a huge selection, but I was happy to try on the 5167R-001 as well as a 5712R-001. After spending some time with both of the watches, I truly love them both. They are obviously very different, and also somewhat smaller than what I am used to. Currently I wear the larger Rolex models, and Panerai. Ultimately, I think both pieces end up in my collection at some point, but I am wondering if you guys have some insight or a suggestion as to where I should start. My budget at this time will not permit me buying two pieces, as I already have a second Rolex piece I want to add in the short term. I look forward to some feedback. Thanks, JPS
Incoming.......
So, my search for a DSSD Blue proved to be fruitless as expected. A few positive leads turned up no result.I was expecting similar success with sourcing the Panerai I was after as it has not long been released, a few enquiries in and no joy, I then walked into the final AD and there it was sitting in the display case Anyone care to guess what I went for?
DateJust 41, To flute or not to flute?
Whats people's thoughts on the flutted bezel on the DateJust 41 ? Does anyone think that a watch with the fluted bezel will hold its price better or be more collectible over time ? Which combination will be the most popular ?
