Franc Vila Intrepido Diver Superligero FVi62 Watch
Call me a sucker for dive watches, but I think this new "espa?ol" diver from Franc Vila is pretty cool. This is, in fact, the new-for-2015 Franc Vila Intrepido Diver Superligero FVi62 and, in addition to being the brand's first dive watch, is really intense to pronounce.

44mm SS Novelty 26400SO thoughts.
I traded my only AP (26320) 6 months back and focused on collecting Rolex however I'm on the verge of coming back and trading my DSSD for SS/ceramic Novelty. Not a fan of the rubber strap but will order a GP in a few weeks and despite it's larger size,( incidentally I intended to go down a notch despite flirting with the idea of YMII) I'm actually looking forward to it.

My biggest regret of the weekend.....
I didn't get a wrist shot with Thierry Stern!! Met him, talked to him, took a picture with him, told him I loved the new direction with some of the more larger modern 42 mm sized Patek's. He checked out my 5905 and like a dumbass I forgot to ask for a wrist shot.But I did manage to get some great pics with some of the others that were in attendance:Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
