Raymond Weil Nabucco Va, Pensiero Watch
The major men's watch release from Raymond Weil this year was a new Nabucco (the name sounds too much like Nabisco to me and I think of snacks) Va, Pensiero. The odd, "comma containing" name comes apparently from a famous Verdi chorus. Does this watch remind you of anything Verdi or Opera related? Cause it doesn't for me. Get this, Raymond Weil actually writes this in their press information, the Nabucco Va, Pensiero "exudes the same power and nobility as the great Italian composer's Opera." Wow, I've only seen greater BS while staring at a cow's ass.I hope someone who writes for Raymond Weil got a bonus for that gem of a quote. There is nothing wrong with the sand-blasted titanium watch, but lets not get all operatic here. This is no watch to sing about. Though you could buy one and play some Verdi music during a video recorded "un-boxing" session. That would be dramatic enough.The gray tones all over the watch add to the titanium feel, as well as function as Raymond Weil's hat thrown

Hands-On: With the Monoposto, Autodromo's First Mechanical Watch (Live Pics)
A few weeks ago we gave you an early look at the Monoposto, the first mechanical watch from Autodromo, a cool, well-conceived upstart based right here in NYC. Inspired by mid-century Italian grand prix cars, the Monoposto combines serious motoring heritage with very wearable style. Today we give you a hands-on look at this limited edition automatic.At 43mm, the Monoposto is starting to get up there in size, but it wears nicely. The tapered case sits nicely on the wrist and the thin, turned bezel makes the watch appear a millimeter or two smaller than it really is. The wire lugs might make changing straps a little fiddly, but they are pitched at just the right angle to keep the watch sitting nicely. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the details here. 2 OF 23 The Autodromo Monoposto, Black Dial The dial is bright, clean, and easy to read, but the first thing you'll probably notice is the bright red line between 9 and 10 o'clock. This line, inspired by

Omega speedmaster, resembles a Paul Newman Datyona...?
I saw one of these in the wild recently. I am curious to hear from some of our Omega experts. I first thought it was a Rolex daytona. Then I thought, this could be a nice watch for a fraction of the price of a vintage Rolex daytona...How rare is it, how many were made...?How do you like it...?

Would anyone trade in a 359 & 112 for a 233
I promise this is the last question from me on Panerai (for now ) My dealer has proposed an option I did not even think about. I have the oportunity to swap my 359 and 112 back to him for a 233, an almost straight trade (with perhaps a bit of cash from me to him but not much). 233 pros:It's a 233 359 / 112 pros :It's two watches,Love the 359 only features (dirty dial, full arabic numerals, fully polished in the 1950 case.),Love the 112 uncomplicated simplicity that is the opposit of the 359.Cons:Not sure I really love the 233 dial, it looks very intense in comparison to a 112 or even a 359.One expensive watch to have - servicing, fear of damage , theft etc.A real food for thought moment I suppose. The 292 Ceramica I was after is now not going to happen.
