Raymond Weil Unveils Special Edition Nabucco Inspired by Gibson Guitars
Earlier this year, Swiss watch manufacturer Raymond Weil and Gibson Brands, an American manufacturer of guitars and other instruments, announced their plans to work together to create a special Nabucco timepiece, specifically inspired by the famous self-tuning Gibson SG Standard guitar. Here’s a look at the watch that resulted.The special-edition Raymond Weil Nabucco timepiece has four key design elements that signify it as a Gibson Special Edition. First, the iconic Gibson logo is located just above the Raymond Weil plaque in the center of the dial, replacing the standard applied 12 o’clock hour marker.

...and almost immediately regretted it. Lots of reasons for selling, but I like to flip and change things up, and we had a good run. And prices seems to be up right now, so why not?The problem was, I did it on kind of a whim, and had no backup plan. It was my only watch! Sure, I have an old Seiko that appears to be about 34mm and is beat up, has an uncomfortable aftermarket strap with a deployment buckle that I can never seem to deploy. And I forgot how much I dislike Quartz watches. They give off a magnetic flux that interferes with the voices in my head.So, what to do? Well, I've had Omegas in the past, and thought I'd go there again, and after some research and shopping, I got the black ceramic Seamaster pictured below. I like the heft, the look and it wears well. It's not a Rolex, by no means, but it also cost less than a new Tudor, or an OP, or pretty-much anything that we Rolex aficionados would want.Omega has finally moved away from those gawd-awful pins in the bracelet

Meters
If Rolex gave you $2 back for 1 Meter on a SD43 would you sacrifice any ? And if so how many ?
