IWC Plastiki Plastic Boat Lands In Sydney, Picks Up One Of A Kind Platinum Watch On Way
Back in March I wrote about my experience hanging out on the IWC Plastiki with its crew in San Francisco. This was prior to the ship's maiden voyage, which was to be an ambitious journey from San Francisco to Sydney. Please refer to the original article there for all the details on what the Plastiki is, and the purpose of its 'mission.'A few days ago the plastic bottle boat successfully made it to its location in Australia. I believe the voyage took over 3 months. It was not likely an easy rideas the Plastiki was the epitome of bare bones accommodations.? Amazing that it was able to sustain 6 people for that long.

I don't tire too easily of the "sputnik antenna" -shaped hands, or the moon surface -inspired dial (with real moon particles as you continually point out).

Can a small hair/dust stop your watch?

Steel, Steel, Steel & a Touch of Gold!
Just sharing (iPhone pics) 99% of stainless steel pieces and 1% of white gold (markers). Now if I can work on 99% platinum & 1% white gold. Ahhh, that's what dreams are made of. In due time I suppose...

New Blue Dial GMT BLRO price lower than previous model
The white gold GMT used to be more expensive than the white gold Sub, I guess due to the extra complication in the GMT function. Strangely I noticed today the new blue dial white gold GMT BLRO has dropped in price! It�s now ?26950 compared to the white gold sub at ?27150Why have Rolex done this? I find a price reduction quite surprising coming from Rolex these days!
