Porsche Design P'6780 Diver Watch Is Hand-Me-Down Eterna
When I visited the Porsche Design booth at Baselworld 2010 I was pretty amused to see the new P'6780 Diver watch cause it looked pretty familiar. In fact, just a few years ago Eterna released a watch that was almost identical, called the Eterna KonTiki Diver. I really loved about that piece and wrote about it here. Why was it that somehow the Eterna KonTiki Diver was now a simplified Porsche Design watch?For starters you should know that Eterna makes all the watches for Porsche Design. So it seemed pretty clear that this was a deliberate move, meant to erase the history of the KonTiki Diver! If you compare the two watches, the Porsche Design P'678 Diver is a bit more simple, streamlined, and hopefully a bit less expensive. The KonTiki Diver retailed for bout $10,000. Though it had a ton of cool technology. The complex titanium case flipped out of a cage for winding and for a new position on the wrist. It just felt totally space age. Also, you needed to pull out the inner case so as to

Opinion for my first AP
Hi Guys,This is my first thread in this forum and very lack information regarding AP.Now, I am looking for a new toy and love to see the AP ROO, but I can't decide between the the AP ROO RC or AP ROO Panda.

20JUL69 1st footprints on the moon
Getting the jump on the anniversary.... Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, 09:32 am EDT; Nearing the Moon, the descent engine continued to provide braking thrust until about 102 hours, 45 minutes into the mission. Partially piloted manually by Armstrong, the Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility in Site 2 at 0 degrees, 41 minutes, 15 seconds north latitude and 23 degrees, 26 minutes east longitude. At about 109 hours, 42 minutes after launch, Armstrong stepped onto the moon, with ��one small step for man�� About 20 minutes later, Aldrin followed him. [wearing his Omega Speedmaster! --Neil's remained on-duty in the LEM]. I am fortunate with this ��older cousin,' 1058 movements earlier than Neil's 105.012-65 with JB Champion Mesh Bracelet. I honor the Apollo 11 Crew's anniversary with a glorious Romeo Y Julieta, Habano. Colonel 58
