Ferragamo F-80 GMT Watch
Ferragamo watches? Another fashion brand with timepiece you'd be wise to be skeptical of at first. When a company that has never made timepieces suddenly starts to do so, then you should be wary. Delving deeper the plot thickens as all Ferragamo watches are licensed to be developed and manufactured by Timex. At this point I would not think that results have much up-market credibility. Though in this case that isn't exactly true. Ferragamo timepieces for men (especially this F-80) collection are nicely made, have good designs and materials, and contains Swiss mechanical movements. As designer watches go, these sort of fly under the radar and deserve a bit more attention.I believe that the F-80 collection debuted in about 2008. It contains a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic based chronograph model, and a similar model that has a GMT module over a 7750 (there is also a quartz ETA chronograph version as well). This is that GMT model, and you can see the standard 7750 with the addition of a

Speedmaster Price Rise

I get it. Weight, brand, etc...However, given the warm conditions (literally year around) where I live in Southern California, I think I need a compliment to my 59601a, RG Daytona, GMT II YG/ stainless, among others that have a bracelet.Please note: I will NOT OVER PAY for a 5711. Please do not suggest that reference. My purchase has nothing to do with price.I have a number of other watches so this out reach is more about making a decision on a new purchase between the two references mentioned above that I will actually wear daily among others in some sort of rotation given the temperature where I live during the day.I tend to get bored with daily wear watches so I take into consideration their resale value. The 5726 would be about 31% back and the Dayt
