Swatch Sistem51 Under $200 Automatic Watch Now For Sale
The Swatch Sistem51 watch collection is finally out for sale (in some places). Are you excited? If you don't know what it is allow me to explain. At Baselworld 2013, the Swatch Group announced what is probably a major breakthrough in watchmaking; a new automatic mechanical movement that is completely assembled by machines and is priced around 100 - 200 Swiss Francs. We first covered the Swatch Sistem51 watch here upon its debut.We first thought the retail price was about $100 but then it turned out to be closer to $150. So we are simply saying between 100 - 200 Swiss Francs as we aren't sure about the final price at this time. As of publishing time Swatch hasn't put the price on their website. UPDATE: In Switzerland at least the retail price of Swatch Sistem51 watches is 150 Swiss Francs. Also, the watches are only currently available for sale in Switzerland. Swatch has announced that the first four models of the Sistem51 collection will be slowly released around the world in 2014. The
BVLGARI Diagono X-Pro Watch
Bvlgari, errBulgari always looks better in all caps right? While I have been seeing lots of confused designs from Bulgari as of late, this Diagono X-Pro is something I am not at all confused about liking (which is to say that I do like it). The cool masculine watch takes a few lessons from the polished looks of the Bulgari design play book, and adds a testosterone powered stamp of approval on it. When it comes down to it, while this is a great watch in and of itself, it feels like Bulgari's answer to the Hublot Big Bang. Not only in design, but also when it comes to the "fusion" of materials. Bulgari knows that with its performance over the last few years and the current economy, it can't dick around. It needs to give people what they want - which is apparently still luxury sport watches.One thing that is hard to tell is that the middle section of the case is actually all black - all DLC black for that matter. Now even Bulgari is on the DLC bandwagon. Another wave goodbye to PVD. Just
A great event.
Tonight at the omega boutique. This was really a great time. And I got to see some really nice watches. Personally, I'm in love with the annual calendar globe master. The moon phase is big, but pretty damned awesome. A great event.
5726/1A at list?
Yes, yes, I've said I wouldn't buy PP until they cleaned up their servicing act. I'm getting caught up in the pricing bubble.AD is offering 5726/1A at list. Now, or within days/a week.When I've seen these sell used before, they seem to lose $8k-10k on resale. Any reason to expect better value retention going forward?Should I buy or pass? Watch would be a white dial, new with my name on papers.I can get the same deal on a 5712r, but not interested in that watch.Thanks!
