Features of luxurious Corum Baron Samedi 18k gold diamond watch
It also is the Loa of resurrection and in this capacity, he is often called to heal by those near or approaching death, because it is only the Baron which can accept an individual in the realm of the dead. In this sense it is also a donor life if he wants to. He can cure any mortal of a disease or injury, if he thinks that this is true. Its powers are particularly large when it comes to voodoo curses and black magic. Most unusually for any Swiss manufacture who usually stick to the themes of classics or contemporary conservative Europeans for their inspiration, Corum should be congratulated for having chosen to commemorate occult with this mysterious, shadowy Aboriginal spirit from the dead.

Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 ref. 7060
A couple of months ago I stumbled across 2 curious watches, the Junkers Bauhaus 6060 and the Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 7060, during my usual scouring of stores for new and interesting watches. What stood out about these watches was their use of a modified Miyota 9100 movement, their interesting designs?and their relatively moderate price of $550.?At first, my eyes were locked on the Bauhaus 6060 watch, as it had elements of Max Bill design to it that are very appealing. So I wrote a piece about them, which you can read here, focused on the 6060, but touching on the Zeppelin LZ129. But after the post ran, I started to dwell on the watches and thought that something this unique really needed a hands-on to further explore the details and qualities of the watches. Though I initially was focused on the 6060, the Zeppelin LZ129 just began to call out to me as really unique watch, one that didn't just intrigue me intellectually, but rather as a watch that I could see owning myself.Case:

My First Panerai - Happy Incoming!
So I start a thread not too long ago asking for opinions on the 292 vs. 505. I have been completely enamored and infatuated with both of these watches for about a year.Here is the thread...Anyhow, with a huge thank you to RUpanerai (Brian Lau), I end up getting a brand new PAM292. I could not be happier with it, and on a side note could not have been happier with the care and attention I received from Brian in purchasing the watch. I will post something in the feedback section about him ASAP.This watch has exceed my expectations in every regard. It wears well, looks amazing, keeps excellent time (roughly +1 SPD over the past week or so), and has a power reserve every bit advertised. I've put aside the OEM black strap for now and have been happily wearing it with a brown asso strap which is slightly fulfilling my fix for the 505. Best of both worlds right?Here are some random pics I've taken since I received the watch. I'll add more when I can.Thanks and enjoy!
