Paul Picot Technograph Wild 44mm Watch Available On James List
Sometimes you just want a good reptile skinned watch, but they can be so hard to find. Why? Well us Americans get kind of bent out of shape about it. Yes, I am all for Animal rights. Frankly I would put Animals above humans in many regards, but when it comes to animals that are raised, just to be killed for their "parts," sure it is cruel, but it is not really damaging to the environment. It would be different if you had guys going out into the jungle to kill pythons just for their skin. That would be bad, really bad. But when you farm the creatures for it? Well then if you are against that, then you are against eating chickens (cause they are raised just to be killed too).?? I am now expecting a slew of angry e-mails and comments. Proceed please, I did put myself out there with the "I love sweet, sweet animal skins" commentary.And on to the watch, this swell looking Paul Picot Technograph Wild 44mm. Why "Wild?" Why not?!

First Panerai
I am pleased to join the ranks of the Paneristi with this purchase of a classic, pre-owned Pam 111. Thanks once again to DavidSW for his great service. (Btw, the second pic is exposed to reflect the Catalina Mountains and blue Arizona sky.)

My First Panerai - Radiomir PAM210
I thought long and hard and did a lot of research before choosing this piece, which for me probably best represents Panarai's great history. I also much prefer the Radiomir case to the Luminor, even if it isn't as iconic today. It's a really comfortable watch to wear, fits me well for a 45mm, and I'm really enjoying the change of pace which a two hander offers. It's a 2009 model and I don't know much about its history, but it's in excellent shape and looks solid on my Timegrapher (+6 s/d, nice even lines), so very happy with this purchase. I did think about the more modern 610, but wanted a sandwich dial, and the ease of servicing (and better looks in my opinion) of the ETA/Unitas 6497 movement over the in-house version appealed to me. I also enjoy winding my watches so an eight day power reserve on the newer watch is actually a drawback for me!I've already bought a couple of (cheap) straps ... now considering at least one good quality hand made one.

The Rolex Effect on Economic Productivity
Okay, my underlying personal productivity was already low to begin with (bankers...), but with the arrival of my new Submariner, this already dismal job performance has completely flat-lined. All I do is stare at my new Rolex and try to keep from drooling directly on it!Is there a Rolex on your wrist that's affecting your productivity today? If so, please employ the excess capacity by replying with a photo :-)TGIF, everyone
