Ernst Benz Releases The ChronoDiver Thinking It Is Being Innovative And Unique: It's Not
Ernst Benz is like an estranged cousin of Panerai with little bloodline connection. It makes a heap of really large watches with "instrumental" appeal, but unlike Panerai, the watches typically suffer from being appropriate without being very unique. Oh, and they are overpriced, in my opinion. The newest from Ernst Benz is the new ChronoDiver collection, with a name as dry as the watch themselves. There is actually nothing at all wrong with the watches. They are a pretty good emulation of a theme. That theme being the diving watch chronograph. The thing is, for the over $5,000 retail price, where is any character of innovation? You get a 47mm wide case, a number font that looks to be Ernst Benz-ish, and perhaps come concentric circle texturing on the dial. Otherwise, we've all seen this design hundreds of times before.So what gives? Ernst Benz did need a diving watch for their line up. Practically everyone does, but this effort just seems a bit rushed to ask such a price for such a sta

Wore the 44 RG Grand Prix - Thoughts...
Dearest Members,As some of you know, I was the one who was on here, asking your opinions as to which watch to get...the 26470 RO (rose gold 42mm new with gold face and black dials) or the 26401 44 RG ceramic. I was having a dilemma...so one of my friends helped me out. He let me wear his RG Grand Prix (pic attached) for a few weeks. Here are my thoughts.When I first put it on, I immediately noticed how heavy and uncomfy it was...even more uncomfy than the 44RG. I have owned panerai's, ROO's, etc...all 44mm. My wrist, arm, and hand can easily handle 44mm, but this one was just too much. It could have been the carbon buttons or whatever, but it was the most uncomfortable watch I have ever tried on/worn. I forced myself to wear it for 2 weeks straight. The first few days were horrible. I took it off during the day at the office for about an hour and it felt like bricks taken off my shoulders. I noticed myself taking it off in the elevator as I waited to reach my apartment. I cou

Its finally here!
Finally got my Speedmaster Pro after waiting for over a week! I've been reading a lot of reviews on this watch and I figured its an essential watch to have. I really wanted it on leather but got it on a bracelet after reading a post on this forum which made a lot of sense cause an omega bracelet will cost me more later on than a leather strap. Anyway, I'm happy with this purchase! I wonder how long it will be before I go crazy over another watch... that JLC Reverso does look mighty fine on my wrist! HAHAHA!
