Rapper Birdman And His $1.5 Million Chopard Diamond Watch
"This might be the best piece of art y'all have," says rapper Birdman (aka,"Baby," aka Brian Williams) in regard to a diamond encrusted Chopard watch that he is receiving for the first time in the above video. Taken last summer (I believe), you have an intimate look at the mentality and desires of this type of high-profile timepiece buyer. Aside from being extremely amused by the interaction, I am quite fascinated by the whole thing.Birdman is considered to be the second most wealthy rapper in history behind Jay-Z. A lot of his money came not only from performances and record sales, but also lucrative business deals with other record companies as well as his own record company "Cash Money Records." 41 years old in 2010, Birdman is known for having a distinct love of fine things and in many sense epitomizing the "rapper ideal." His music often promotes unrestrained spending of money, as well as exaggeratingly lavish lifestyles.Listen carefully to his thoughts on the watch after buying i

First AP
Got my first AP today (pre-owned 25730). For my 6.3 wrist a 37mm works better for most ocassions. I was seriously tempted by a 39mm 26300, but the better fit and versatility of the 37mm for my wrist size won out (for now). Also considered the 15450, but decided I preferred the more casual look and the usefulness of the second time zone (and the blue 15450 isn't available). Very few photos do justice (mine certainly doesn't) to the beauty and level of finishing of an AP. Have a feeling this watch will get more than it's fair share of wrist time for a little while.

My new toy :)
Hello there I have inherited a few omegas from my father. Somehow I was always a rolex guy well until now I have never really paid attention to omega models other than the constellation series. Frankly I have no idea what I just bought and it was a total impulse decision. Saw this day date speedy first time while just browsing the boutique. Before I could realise I was out of the boutique with it in less than 30 mins! I hope more knowledgeable members would chime in more details of this watch. Its by far the most busiest mechanical watch in my collection and I got really bowled over by the sheer complications in it. I tried searching the net for this reference speedy but with no luck, even in here I couldnt find more info regarding it, seems like an underated omega. I usually love to research my watches well before I buy them. I plan to wear this one only once I understand it well to truly appreciate it. Till then enjoy the photos.

Sword hands on PO
Has anyone ever changed the arrow hands on the Planet Ocean for 2254-style sword hands? I've seen a PO2500 bezel on a 2254, and that looked awesome. I can't help but think the PO would look great with swords.
