Marvin M112 Watch Review
The next Marvin watch I review and present to you is this interesting Model M112 watch. The retro roots of the brand and design are very evident here, but the modern elements of this watch are unmistakable. This is one of the most interesting modern/retro hybrid watches I've ever seen - and I really like it. Like other Marvin watches, the timepiece is deceptively simply - a feat that is very difficult to achieve actually. You see, the most simple watches that you are familiar with probably greatly enjoy, actually can require the most amount of design time. It is very difficult from a design standpoint have minimalism equal functionalism, as well as have an element of traditional familiarity. Good?? for Marvin that they were able to borrow a bit from classic watches from bygone eras.Like certain watches from the 1960's the silver dialed watch is devoid of numbers. Instead, you are to navigate the dial with your eyes looking at applied polished steel hour markers with polished steel han

So is this the first Basel where I really don't want anything
I kind of like the 5170P...but diamond hour markers and a shiny band?? Seems too fem for what could have been a killer.As for rolex the cellini with the moon is kind of cool but not enough to get me buying.I had my hopes set very high for a 5270p or new variant of such.I can't believe it...I really think this will be my first basel in ages where I don't order anything.I'm kind of at a loss...I feel like something is dying inside...uggggggI'll track down a new panerai bronzo I guess...meh

From Vintage to WOW
Finally get to post a well look what happened on the way to the AD story!After many years with my 14060M i decided it was time to try something new so it went up for sale and found a new home. I've spent days trying to figure out what's next and nothing really stood out to me when compared to the crisp two liner sub. It's the quintessential everyday watch. Sometimes less is more!With the SS shortage everywhere I knew even trying an AD would be futile. Out of the three main AD's all had the air king and milgauss but it didn't really sing to me. Asking for a sub or GMT almost got me laughed at in one of them. I was told they've seen two in the last two months. This is all in Scottsdale btw...After almost getting laughed at asking for a GMT (and an aquanaut) and being told having established history would help I booked it over to a lunch spot and decided to try an AD that I knew had subs in the past couple months.Sure enough nothing in the display counter and after telling my sub (sob) st

Would you flip Dblue for BP FF
Good day all. I posted in the non Rolex forum but didn't get much feedback so I'm posting here with a twist to my original post ..I'm considering adding (well perhaps flipping to add ) a Blancpain FF 5015D or a 5015C as pictured here.First, would you consider such a flip? Dollars are about the same in the Preowned market.What does the forum think of Blancpain in terms of: style, durability, and wearability?Why don't we see more of them here I guess to make this appropriate for the Rolex forum ... Would you flip a Dblue for one of these?Collection is: SD43, Dblue, Pam 690I was thinking it might be nice to have a BP for something s little different in the collection.Go Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk
