Festina Profundo Dive Watch Comes In Bag Filled With Water
There is marketing and then there is brilliant marketing. Go shopping for watches and you may find yourself discovering a new goldfish bowl. The large Spanish watch group Festina (and brand of course) has recently started putting water-filled clear plastic bags on shelves with the newest versions of their Profudno dive watches in them. This isn't the first time a watchmaker has put a water resistant watch actually in water, but as far as we know it has never before been done like this. The brilliant concept is thanks to a Berlin-based agency called Scholz & Friends."Profundo" translates from Spanish into "deep." While these watches aren't deep under water, the message here is that they can stay in water for apparently very long lengths of time and be perfectly OK to be removed from the bag and be put on your wrist. It helps that the bags are filled with distilled water. What I like is that the retail packaging totally sells the concept of the watch. Nothing is said on the front exc

De Bethune Dream Watch IV iPhone 4S Luxury Case
De Bethune has released what I think is probably the most high-end and beautiful iPhone 4s case I have ever seen. They started last year I think with phone cases when they released the classy looking De Bethune DBM. That case was in alligator and has a traditionally styled clock style watch in the back of it. This new case is totally futuristic and looks like your iPhone 4S is now a spaceship. Called the Dream Watch IV, the watch dial itself build off of the one-of-a-kind watch De Bethune made for the Only Watch 2011 auction.Limited to just 12 pieces the Dream Watch IV iPhone 4S case is made out of beadblasted titanium. The finish should look amazing if I know anything about De Bethune timepieces. The watch dial itself is done in a specially colored blue titanium with diamonds and 18k white gold to look like stars. Purely mechanical, the time is told via discs that read the hours and minutes. These dials are simply put, gorgeous. Still not sure how the watch is wound or where the crown

Testing!
While waiting for my Explorer II which should be here in a week figured might as well learn how to post a pic!

Why is this watch a lot cheaper than a Rolex?
.jomashop/omega-watch-23110396002001.htmlIs the rolex made of better metal or something? Both are stainless steel, so what am I missing?

More white stuff .....
and I don't mean snow! Another happy Skydweller owner as DavidSW delivers another flawless transaction. Very happy with the size/weight of this watch, and the dial is just beaming with legibility! Enjoy some pics!EricE
