Vulcain Cricket Diver X-Treme Watch Is Attractive, Not Very Extreme
I would imagine that the typical watch consumer is intelligent. At least understanding words and meaning. What do you think of when you hear "extreme" or the even more extreme iteration of extreme, "xtreme?" Well I think about objects that takes a beating, and do so while functioning well. Not fancy gold watches with mechanical alarms. So while I really like the Vulcain Cricket Diver X-Treme (go ahead, picture extreme diving crickets, it is the logical thing to do), I think Vulcain's marketing team needs to hit the showers.Vulcain has been around a while, and are most known for their Cricket watches, and V-10 mechanical alarm movement.

Incoming ��������Nautilus 5990
My vision of watches has changed significantly during the last 2-3 weeks. Times are changing, market has changed and my taste has follow that change.Sport watches is what is hot now, I still appreciate the formal pieces with all its romanticism because at the end that's the essence of Patek. I think I will come back to those formal pieces again (AC, PC, Manual Chrono) is just not the time for me. I just don't have the means to collect watches that are expensive and market is not that great.In the meantime I found this killer piece, I always want it a Nauti with presence on SS , my first Patek was 5712/1a loved it but unfortunately my wrist didn't agree with it. 5990 has everything I want: sport , complicated, presence , a pleasure to wear, understated and with a market.Anyway here it is :Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Patek RG & Rolex Everose - surprising difference
Maybe many of you are aware, but I was genuinely surprised at the color difference between Patek RG and Rolex Everose.I own the Patek 5205r and today bought the Rolex YM Everose 116655 and it is much more like red gold with a significantly higher copper %.In fact I also have a YG Daytona and think the Patek rose gold almost sits right in between Rolex YG and Everrose.
