My First Grail Watch: Michele Sofisti Of Gucci Watches, Girard-Perregaux, And JEANRICHARD
Welcome back to the original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're speaking with Michele Sofisti, who has been in the watch industry since the mid-90s, and has be at the helm of a number of luxury watch brands which as of today includes running Gucci Watches, Girard-Perregaux, and JEANRICHARD. Yes, that is a lot. With his grail watch, I think many will find it refreshing that it was a timepiece that many aspire to, or perhaps even have already acquired - and certainly a common one in the grail watch series. What I think is most unique here is that Mr. Sofisti eventually ended up working as CEO of the brand who made his first grail - nice bit of synchronicity there!watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Michele Sofisti (MS): I'm CEO of Sowind Group, as well as CEO of Gucci watches and jewellery.

Stop too quickly?
hey guysi noticed that my 15400 tend to stop pretty quickly comparing to the winding i gave it. I counted around 30 rounds and it only last about 1 1/2 days. i don't know if i did it wrong, but shouldn't right, just unwind it till it pops and wind it clockwise. it happens 2 days in a row. but i remember when i first bought it the salesman winded it and that winding was good for 3 days.do you guys have the same problem and any comment on this issue?

Looking for my 1st SMP300 - which will you pick?
Thinking of adding this iconic Omega to my collection. Never really been a Omega dive watch fan but the PO8500 and SMP300 slowly winning me over...Now it is either the wave dial with AL bezel insert or the ink blue dial with ceramic bezel insert. Both running on the 2500 caliber.The older model has a white date wheel and the newer one shows a black date wheel.The blue is the new model is richer and the blue in the old model a little subdued.Dimensions remain similar. The new model costs about USD450 more than the old model.Which do you own? Any thoughts?Below are pictures taken from Omega official site.The New SMP300:The Old SMP300:thanks for your inputs! :)
