TechnoMarine Watches Back On The Block
The build up was intense. Months of teasers and speculation to see what new CEO of TechnoMarine Vincent Perriard would do to the brand that desperately needed a refresh. At the same time, Perriard only had a few months because he was new to the brand - fresh out of his seat at Concord. His task was to release new watches for Baselworld 2010 to be interesting enough for people to notice the brand again. Not an easy task, especially given the molasses like pace of the watch industry. The middle of March was the proving ground - would the new collection have enough appeal to convince enough people the brand was? worth paying attention to again.In the 1990s TechnoMarine was a big deal because it was another "mold breaking" brand.

One out - One in 🐼
This is a move I’ve been strategizing and planning for several months. It took me a while I finally got the right numbers and example in place, thanks to my main man Takuya!This is another example, of one amazing watch leaving for one arriving. Loved the black dial Daytona. I still maintain that it is the more versatile of the two, but the white dial has been constantly haunting me. I had to try it, and couldn’t pass up this opportunity to do so.Here ya go my friends. My new 116500LN White Dial Daytona!

Oyster Bracelet "stretch" - 5 digit vs 6 digit
There have been several threads which reference whether bracelet stretch will be any less on solid link oysters than hollow link oysters.Does anyone have a 2007 6 digit SS GMT (the first year they were made) and a 2007 5 digit SS Sub that were both worn a lot and which would provide a fair comparison on hollow vs solid.Or if someone can post pictures of a solid link 2007 SS GMT showing any bracelet stretch, I'm sure someone else can post pictures of a hollow link 2007ish SS Sub.
