Marcello C Rising: Watching The Growth Of This Impressive German Watch Maker
Marcello C is going places quickly. The growing German watch maker came out of the mind of an ex Oris master watch maker 15 years ago. Just when the mechanical watch was making a comeback, Marcello C started hammering out extremely high quality watches for unheard of low prices. At that time, the philosophy was simple; do not reinvent the wheel. Marcello C is not a design innovator, and it does not need to be. Marcello C excels at taking handsome, classic designs and making very good watches based on them. The most distinctive quality of a Marcello C watch is that the watch is built better, and functions with more accuracy that most watches costing twice their price.This direction has allowed Marcello C to take a lead role as one of the fastest growing small watch companies.

As I told you I went to my watchmaker last Sunday.He also repaired a Oyster bracelet for me.A while ago on another forum somebody posted a picture of a Speedmaster Professional on a Oyster bracelet.So, today I tried out that combo myself....What do you think?I really like this combo...Lets see how long this combination stays on my wrist..

For those of you Patek lovers, opinion on GS?
So I've put my name down on the list for a 5711. Who knows how long that will take. Anyways, in the meantime I think ill buy either the 44 Ti ROO or the 44 RG. Not totally decided on which yet. Anyways my question is, one of my other loves in the watch world is Grand Seiko. I have owned 7 of them at various stages and currently have 3. How do you all compare Grand Seiko to PP? I know they are pretty different, just wondering what that translates to in the flesh. Also, side note, spring drive is incredible and has spoiled me completely on mechanical movements from an accuracy perspective. A few pics of my faves.

Long Island Store with Black GMT, Batman, Pepsi
Was out running errands today and went into an AD I have gone into in the past to see what they had. While looking he had a DSSD, Black GMT, Batman, Pepsi, Yachtmatser in Rhodium and Blue. I tried on the Batman and the Pepsi and the salesperson told me also it was the last one they would be receiving. It was discontinued and they were lucky they got it in. The batman he told me they just got in and just put it out. He says usually they have people waiting for them. He said they don't have any lists for any watches it is first come first serve. If anyone is in the area and wants to go get any of these watches send me a message and I will let you know which AD it was.
