Jeanrichard Aquascope Watch With Hokusai "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" Dial For Japan
Swiss Jeanrichard can't seem to get enough special edition models out their doors lately - but at least most of them are pretty cool. This newest series of special models is in honor of Japan, and puts a Hokusai-inspired dial on an Aquascope watch. Let me first mention what I don't know: and that is whether or not these are part of a limited edition, or if they are to be exclusively sold in Japan. I have a feeling the answer to both is "no," but we just don't know yet. Having said that, my instinct tells me these will be part of a limited production, meaning their numbers won't be strictly limited but they aren't going to be regular models and will be produced for maybe a year or so only.For years now, we've seen dive watches with wave patterns on the dial. Brands such as Omega and Ulysse Nardin have been doing that for a while. Using instances like those as precedent, Jeanrichard decided to replicate some rather famous waves on the dials of two Aquascope models, that it touts as being
Bausele Australian Surf Watch
Bausele's brand slogan is "Australian Soul - Swiss Made." It should probably be changed to "Australian Soil - Swiss Made." Why? See that rather obviously too-large crown? Well, it is filled with one of three choices of dirt! Not just any dirt, Australian dirt, mate.The crown is like a little canister with a see-through window at its end. You can order your Bausele watch with a crown filled with Australian red sand, surf sand, or coal. Coal? Why coal? Doesn't the old Christmas myth about gifts with coal in them mean that person getting them has been bad? And not bad in an impressive way. There is probably some manner of explanation on the Bausele website - maybe you can find it in the "Aussie Soul" section.Anyway, this collection from the "down under" brand is called the Surf Watch. There is also a Yachting watch, and another type of watch I've never seen before made for wine bars. I don't think the wine bar has anything to do with wines or bars, but Bausele does claim that it "will nev
White Jumbo
I remember I bought this white dial older mode jumbo 15202 few years back from AD before it was discontinued and replaced by newer Jumbo with AP logo at 6 o clock. White jumbo may not as popular as the blue dial. But I like it a lots. This white color is whiter compare to silvery color on 15300 or 15400 for instance. Seldom see the white dial jumbo in forum. Post yours if you have. And next to her is another blue dial GG design brother 5711 jumbo.
Panerai 562 & 590
I currently own among other things a Pam 562. I'm starting to really like the Pam 590 as well. I don't want to give up the 562 so I am thinking of adding the 590. Anyone think they are too similar?
So, finally, I'm in the waitlist for a Hulk..
Today, after 5 years collecting watches, more than 20 pieces of different brands and 3 different Rolex watches, I've finally putted myself in the waitlist for my grail: Rolex Submariner 116610LV, The hulk!I have to say that I'm quite excited, even when this same happened to me since I've bought my first luxury piece, an Omega SMPc, or when I've got my first submariner, the iconic 16610. But this time feels different, I'm going for my grail, the first one I saw back in 2012 and became my dream watch. The truth is, last year, I've found myself with more watches that I had the chance to wear, so decided to consolidate my collection in no more than 5 pieces plus a G shock, and that's exactly what I did. I currently have a Rolex GMTc LN, a Rolex Explorer I mk2, an Omega SMPc, Omega Speedy FOIS and a Breitling Navitimer A23322 blue dial, all pieces that I love and wear quite often but someting was missing, specially around my GMT which has been sat in the box since I acquired the explorer, a
