New "Pink Panther" Concept Watch From Virtual Ideas Is New View On Women's Luxury
When you see an item you haven't seen before your mind always experiences the same reaction. A complex measuring of mental association whereby you compare the item in your view with almost everything you've seen before. This is essentially the mental heuristic we use to determine what something is; a bridging of mental associations and experiences. So when we see something new, we can either identify it as having a relationship to something we have seen before, or ponder its style and function as a novel observation.I know the Pink Panther from Virtual Ideas is a watch. I can tell from the way it is designed with a wrist strap and because it has numbers that a watch would have; It also helped knowing that it was designed by a watch designer. Despite knowing the Pink Panther is a watch, it is difficult to correctly place it in the amorphous watch taxonomy that exists in my head. The diamonds and rose gold case say luxury.

Need feedback on this ceramic diver
HiMy first post here. Been reading the forum for quite a while though. Lots of good info on AP's.I'm looking to buy a ceramic diver and I have narrowed my search down to this one. As you can just about see there are some marks on the edge of the bezel at 6 o'clock. What do you think about this? Do you have anything similar on you ceramic bezel AP's? The seller says that the marks are tiny and barely noticeable. I live far away from the seller, so I'm not able to take a look myself.

New Info on Dark Side of the Moon
Just heard from an Omega Boutique that the watch will be available in January for roughly $12,000. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information, but I thought I'd pass it along.

Must say I'm Very Impressed
Wow guys. Just tried on the 45.5 PO that is discontinued. A buddy of mine at work just bought it. It is truly a nice piece and the finish is incredible. The pictures of this watch that I have seen before do not do this thing justice.Quick iPhone pic at work.

Considering First PP: 5119r vs 5726 strap
Went to the AD last week and finally got to try on some PP's for the first time in my life!! The 5119r and the 5726 strap are standing out among the relatively few pieces that are within my humble budget.I currently have the AP diver (weekend) and a Rolex sea-dweller (daily) and what I am looking for in the next one is a watch that I can dress up with for events (cocktail parties, weddings, etc).I really love the 5119r's classic look yet the size of the watch is slightly small and I am just scared that I could only wear it in the most formal occasions. The 5726 has a beautiful dial, the complication and is a lot more versatile yet I find it hard to part with so much money for a steel watch!Besides a comparison of both watches, I am also very interested to hear your opinions on expensive steel watches.
