Panerai Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm Lo Scientziato Watch
Easily my favorite new Panerai of SIHH 2010 is an unexpected model. The brand that made it a point to "hide" the tourbillon complication on their first tourbillon watch has now made an about face. This is the first skeletonized Panerai watch that I know of, and does not let down. It is actually the same movement from their normal tourbillon watch but skeletonized. This is in contrast to what some makers do by making a watch movement specially designed to be skeletonized. Good that the watch movement leneded itself nicel to the "open" treatment. The watch is really stunning and exactly what you would expect from a Panerai watch if it was skeletonized.? Called the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm Lo Scientziato PAM348 (PAM 348), this piece is truly unique in the brand's current watch line. Most of the other new models of 2010 are minor variations on existing models to differ broaden an established brand feel, but retain its strict identity.The 48mm wide case is in a dark brownsih co

Hindsight is 20/20
So I thought I'd see what 'blunders' have been made by parting ways with a watch you may have had. For me when I got into this game was 2008. Shortly after having known nothing about Rolex apart from what I read he on TRF for months I picked up a Y series 11610LV full kit from a local grey dealer. $7700 CAD I think I paid and I felt too high but I wanted it. It was the most money I ever spent on a timepiece. I did wear it for some time but at the time it felt a bit lost on my bigger wrist. Soon after the big watch trend came about and I wanted something bigger...so I traded it for a DJII No telling what I would have done with it had I not traded it so I guess it could be worse.Anyone want to share a similar experience?

Does the SS Pepsi look cheap?
Hi ladies and gents, don't know if this was discussed before... (mod, if so, please close) Last night me fianc��e was freeing up storage space on my work phone (its an iPhone and I hate that thing - that's why I have no clue how it works ) and she saw I had some pics of the new SS Pepsi on it. She asked me if I liked it, to which I replied that I already signed up for it/put my name on 2 lists. Her comment: Why? It looks absolutely cheap. I said: It doesn't, wait till you see it in person. While I usually don't care too much what other people think, this made ME think. I have to say that I've never seen the WG version, which has the same bezel, in person.So what do you think? Is my fianc��e right?

Guess what i stumbled on at Heathrow terminal 5?
I had meant to post this earlier but completely forgot.So i am off to Singapore for the day on business and i decided to do some window shopping before i boardedI walk into the Rolex store and i am approached by a gentleman. I asked if they had any SS watches (i was practically laughing) in stock. He smiled back and told me to give him a few mins. A couple of mins later he walks out with these 3. They had literally just been deliveredA quick call to my bro and a mate who had been considering the sub and GMT respectively and the deal was done 20 mins later with 20% off. i left the Yatchmaster for the next lucky person
