Raymond Weil Nabucco Va, Pensiero Watch
The major men's watch release from Raymond Weil this year was a new Nabucco (the name sounds too much like Nabisco to me and I think of snacks) Va, Pensiero. The odd, "comma containing" name comes apparently from a famous Verdi chorus. Does this watch remind you of anything Verdi or Opera related? Cause it doesn't for me. Get this, Raymond Weil actually writes this in their press information, the Nabucco Va, Pensiero "exudes the same power and nobility as the great Italian composer's Opera." Wow, I've only seen greater BS while staring at a cow's ass.I hope someone who writes for Raymond Weil got a bonus for that gem of a quote. There is nothing wrong with the sand-blasted titanium watch, but lets not get all operatic here. This is no watch to sing about. Though you could buy one and play some Verdi music during a video recorded "un-boxing" session. That would be dramatic enough.The gray tones all over the watch add to the titanium feel, as well as function as Raymond Weil's hat thrown
Gucci Marina Chain Watch Collection - Women's Cruise 2009
A sexy bracelet that tells time. By Gucci.That's what this is.Gucci is a brand known for its Italian flair - classic shapes - and brilliant use of iconic motifs. You know a Gucci when you see it.This is holding true for their timepieces as well. As a relatively new extension of the brand, the watches are just a continuation of trends and designs that have already proven successful in their fashion and handbag lines. But one problem that seems to be clouding Gucci watches is that what works for handbags, does not always work for watches.I love Gucci - just not their watches. At least, not yet.Like the Gucci Marina Chain Watch, above, introduced at this year's Gucci Women's Cruise fashion show. In the context of a fashion show, this watch works. And in this promo shot below, it definitely fits in. The iconic logo bag - the neutral color palette - the lush fabrics But, for everyday wear - I do not see this as a wearable watch.The Marina Watch Collection definitely keeps up with id
My ROO may be a keeper.
I put my AP Panda on a big test tonight.Timing my porterhouse steaks on the grill.Using the chrono. And I was able to see the time in the subdials. With my failing eye sights at twilight.The red needles on white tick marks stood out over the black dials.Passed the test. Good bear.
Bracelet/Strap Ideas for Omega Seamaster Pro (2531.80)
I've been thinking about getting another strap or bracelet for my Omega because I kind of want a little change after 11 years, although after the recent service, the bracelet does look pretty nice. I do like the Omega deployment clasp with silicone strap, but I don't want to spend $500 getting it set up and not like it if it makes me sweaty.I came across this seller on ebay with some mesh straps.Option from ebay seller id = wjean28.ebay/itm/120587374735...ht_5928wt_1092I saw Dan Pierce's Seiko with Strapcode mesh and really liked it as well.i129.photobucket/albums/p...r/P1160912.jpgOptions from Strapcode, which do you think would look nice on my Omega?PolishBrushedI may post more of my thoughts later, such as NATO straps, or ISOfrane straps, etc. Just wanted some feedback on this mesh idea first.Thanks!
