Swatch Holiday Twist Watch
We brought you the Fiona Kruger Skull Watch for Halloween, but with Halloween behind us, the Christmas season is upon us. Poor Thanksgiving gets gobbled up by the ever-earlier end of the year holidays. Just when you are sure the Swiss watch industry is uber serious, along comes the Swatch Holiday Twist watch. This holiday special watch for 2014 is a limited edition of 14,999 (no, not 15,000) watches. Limited Edition numbers for Swatch mean something different than they do for Mrs. Kruger. But that means that this watch for $120 is within reach of more than the "One Percenters" who might be picking up a Patek Philippe or A. Lange &?Sohne as a stocking stuffer.Swatch Holiday TwistKnowing that Swatch is the most lighthearted brand of the Swatch Group, you would expect some playfulness, and between the watch and their press release, you have to decide for yourself whether to look confused or just smile and go with the holiday flow. For example, those naughty Swatch folks are promoting

Zodiac ZMX 03 Chronograph Diver Watch Is Kinda Chronograph, Kinda Not - Kinda Interesting, Kinda Bland
It is easy to see how this watch came into existence. Zodiac is part of the uber-mediocre Fossil watch company. Think of a committee sitting around together. Maybe only one or two of them knows anything about the technical side of watch making. The rest are product designers, hipsters, and marketing people who like to gauge market trends. Someone blandly comments, "Zodiac has a deep history with diving, let's create something bold, that fits in the existing product line." The non-technical designers go to work, basically ignoring most of the functional elements, and only focusing on pure form, or what their teachers awarded them on in product design school. They take into consideration the memo that big watches are in, they look at other diving watches, and have some idea of the materials they can work with. Oh, and watches tend to look more 'legitimate' when there are lots of instrumental looking hash marks on the dial. Who knows what odd impractical thing they came up with initially?

At least you don't look like the guy standing in the middle...
I am working this week in my companies vendor booth at the Arizona Bar Association Annual Convention. I normally wear a sport coat to these deals but since it is only slightly cooler than the surface of the sun here I wore slacks and a polo shirt yesterday. For background...We are a legal document services provider (process service, court filing, research etc) along with being a private investigative agency who specializes in skip tracing and asset location so law firms make up the majority of our clients hence the attendance.I am standing there and a well dressed attorney walks by our booth and asks what we offer for services and I go into my schpeel. He stands there nodding his head then goes Business must be pretty damn good for you! as a statement, not a question. I say yes, it's petty good. He follows up with, It must be better than pretty good. I didn't realize process servers made so much money to afford an AP (I was wearing my RC) and continued with, damn, if I had known that

Long Wait!!
Just dropped off my GMT at the AD for a service, I only bought the watch second hand a couple of weeks ago and finally got the time to take it in. The time frame I was given was 2-4 weeks to receive the quote, then 6-8 weeks from time of approval to it being ready, lucky I have my DJ to wear in the meantime! Excited for it to come back looking like new so I can start my own journey with the watch and know it's in perfect health. Do any of you guys follow the same approach when obtaining a second hand watch? What do you do in the meantime while you're waiting for it to return?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
