Marcello C. Hydrox Watch
I really like Marcello C. watches even though most of their watches are more or less "revisions" of the designs of other brands. I am usually less friendly when a brand doesn't offer up too much originality, but Marcello C. has a soft place on my heart for a few reasons. First, I like their quality. I have a few of their pieces and can say that despite what you think of the origin of their designs, they do sell nicely made watches which are a good value.Second, a Marcello C. watch was my very first mechanical acquisition. This was about 8 - 9 years ago. That was a Nettuno 3 watch, and I eventually reviewed it here a while back. Marcello C. is a German based brand but had/has a US operation out of Minnesota. Their US website has been up and down, so I am not totally sure what is going on with them. You can always visit their German site and try to order watches by asking (by e-mailing them).Anyhow, here is a new watch from Marcello C. called the Hydrox. Yes, it does have (a lot) of IWC

Patek marketing: Do you like it?
There is no question that Patek Philippe has been tremendously successful with their branding. The Patek branding machine is second to only Rolex for watch manufacturers IMHO.I am curious to find out how us WIS view the Patek marketing campaign. I am specifically interested in your opinion of the magazine ads depicting a rather aristocratic appearing father and son in a B&W photo with the famous tag line You never actually own a Patek....What is your gut level reaction to these ads? Do you like them?

Pro's/Cons of WG vs YG vs EG Daytonas.....
..........I'm asking this b/c I'm now thinking more and more about getting the Daytona over the Gold YM, but still haven't seen the former in person. Among the Daytona models, I thought for sure the WG version was the way to go b/c the silver dial is so striking against the black ceramic bezel and strap, and the white gold is obviously more subtle and less attention grabbing than either YG or EG.Having said that, my one concern with the silver dial on the WG version is dial legibility. Since the YG and EG have a few options with either YG dial/black dial or EG/black dial combos, for those who have various dial combos in YG or EG, can you share your pics and experiences with dial legibility? And for the record, my eyes aren't failing me....lol. I'm just coming from having a LV sub and a PAM 1312, both of which are super easy to read at a glance, and which I love about the watches, and which got me to love the YM (along with its matte black bezel). And for those with the WG Daytona
