Bianci Ladies Watches Make For Decent Gifts
We get a lot of requests to write about "more affordable" watches - which is tough as we are such high-brow snobs. Having said that, watches-dealer is produced by regular people whose budgets are probably closer to beer than champagne much of the time. So, here are a couple of watches from Bianci.You'll find these watches at various stores online often for discounts compared to the "retail prices." Each of these watches retails for somewhere in the $400 range, but are less when you look around for them online. These are decent timepieces and they are also fashionable. Bianci's best designs are for women, while they also have a men's collection.Buying watches as gifts for women is hard when you don't have Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, or Rolex amounts of money to spend. Your typical department store fare is often generic looking or boring, and worse, you can get a woman a gift that a few of her friends already have. I am pretty sure they hate that sort of thing.These two watches are

Godspeed Neil... Mankind's Hero/Pioneer!
Heard the news while visiting the in-laws family farm; --now at Hm near laptop, & wish to add personal remembrance. Mind harkens back to that Summer when parents were driving us home after my brothers and I spent the previous week at Summer Camp. Sunday evening continued to a sleepless Monday A.M., where we starred upward at the sky wishing, wondering, and wanting to be just like them. Years later a 105.012-65 now affixed upon a JB Champion will make that memory all the more perfect, no less awesome, and one small link to a humble man who exemplified man's longing to the great vastness of the unknown. Rest peacefully, Neil, on your last giant leap destined one day for all mankind. [My favorite Speedy wristshot, COL58]

Incoming 14060 on a small wrist
So I finally pulled the trigger on the 5 digit sub. I had the SubC for a short time which did fit my 15 cm wrist, I just felt the maxi case took up a lot of real estate on me. That and the ceramic bezel was too flashy for my taste.I picked this guy up from a forum favorite dealer. It came with bracelet as well, however the only way I would get it to fit would be to remove a permanent link, which I don't want to do at this point. It would in essence destroy the link. So far I've been wearing it on NATO, Perlon, & leather straps. Not sure if anyone knows any other tricks to make the bracelet fit without link destruction?
