Hands-On: With The Bulgari Diagono Magnesium
Bulgari and great timepieces have gone hand in hand ever since it introduced the Octo Finnisimo Tourbillon. Now Bulgari looks to upgrade the external components of a watch with the stuff that space-stations are made of, and the internal components with, actually, more stuff that space stations are made of. While this automatic timepiece employs Bulgari's style and mechanics, it also flirts with a 21st century dilemma about which many brands have been curious.The Diagono Magnesium is named after the material that makes up the center of the case. Magnesium is both durable and extremely light - making this watch somewhat of a slim tough-guy. Magnesium might not even be the most impressive material used here. This Diagono also employs PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone), a polymer often used in space-tech due to its temperature and structural resistivity. 1 OF 3 The new Diagono employs a ceramic bezel and PVD coated stainless back to match.

A shout out to Bulang and Sons
Back in April, I bought a Diablo strap for my 145.012 from Bulang and Sons. Love the look, and have worn it regularly. Well, the decorative stitch on the tip of the strap came unraveled recently. A pretty minor thing, really, but I wanted it fixed, so I shot them an email and asked for a length of matching waxed linen thread to make the easy repair. Bernhard B&S quickly got back to me with a note of apology, and the promise to send me, not the thread, but whole new strap! It arrived yesterday. :D That's a stand-up response and one that I thought deserved a quick public shout out...so this is it...

A 2008 model year Omega has which 2500 movement? A,B,C,D?
I was looking to purchase a brand new in box Omega 42mm on bracelet at an awesome price. I was wondering if it contains the 2500C, 2500B, or 2500D movement?Are there any particular years that Omega modified the movement?The reason I ask is because I heard the later letter codes after the movement (ex. 2500D) are more reliable and have better technology involved.Thanks!
