The Reign Of Sports Watches: What Everyone Wants To Wear
Sport and Sports watches are what people are most looking to buy these days. Watches under this category get the most internet searches, and enjoy the most interesting releases. What is a sport watch? And why does everyone want one? The answer is simple, and goes to the heart of what a watch is. First, you need to know what a sport watch is not, namely any watch whose purpose is to be time-telling jewelry. A sport watch is any watch whose purpose (at least historically) is to provide special utility during some activity or event. There are many categories of sport watches, but the main ones are; diving watches, racing watches, pilot watches, military watches, and all purpose rugged watches. Within these categories are tons of sub-styles and types based upon special features or requirements of an activity. In some instances, new watches today evoke a style from the past whose purpose is obsolete. Take polo watches. These watches were meant to flip around (Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso for in

I Am Not Cool Enough For This Watch, But I Want to Be: Zenith Defy Extreme
Zenith has come a long way from being a maker of fine movements to fine looking watches. Having died for a while some years ago, the brand returned vigilant in its desire to make bold looking watches without counterpart. The Zenith Defy Extreme line is the epitome of that pursuit. Nothing looks quite like it, and at the same time, it does not require any particular explanation to justify itself. It seems to be the logical extension of the brute looks, Hollywood military design, and exotic materials that make up the models.Just look at the propellers that make up the sub dials and you will know what this watch professes to move forward with a high velocity. Then you will notice the stars that make up some of the numeral indicators and think you are a general wearing their watch to battle. No other timepiece I know says luxury with military hints in quite the same way.I have a fondness for watches like this because they embody pure utilitarian fantasy. There is probably no person in the

Under The Radar: The Design Merits Of The Bell & Ross WW1 Regulateur Pink Gold
This isn't a new watch and this isn't an old watch. In fact, the Bell & Ross WW1 Régulateur Pink Gold was announced last year for Baselworld 2013 (eons ago, considering the staccato frequency of watch releases lately). So why take a look now? Well, why not? Regularly enough we come across watches that aren't quite vintage (or complex) enough to cover in-depth, and aren't quite brand-spanking new, but offer a commendable take on design and engineering. While the movement is nothing extraordinary, the WW1 Régulateur falls into the former aesthetically-minded category, which makes it worth bringing into the office for a few hands-on photos. 1 OF 5 With its Vintage Collection, Bell & Ross pulls design cues from the early days of horology (not from the company's own product archives – they were only founded in 1992.) The majority of these elements can be observed in the case design: a simple, almost monastic round case with well-

Thinking of selling my 88GMT and replace with??
So here it goes. I am thinking of selling my Panerai 088 as I don't wear it much and I have been secretly admiring two other watches. One is the almighty 372, and the other more recently as I tried it on at my local AD is the Rolex Explorer ll polar( white face). I had no idea that the Polar was going to sing to me the way it did. So, I am about to sell my 088 to a friendof mine and I am torn on which to buy. If I buy the Rolex I can buy it here in my hometown from the AD with a discount as a repeat customer. If I decide on the 372, well I have to buy from one of our TRF trusted sellers or from Watchuwant based in Miami which I will be visiting in a couple of weeks and stress myself out with smuggling my Panerai across the US/Canada border. What do I get? Regardless, I will have both by the end of the calendar year as I have a sickness like most of you and won't sleep until I have both!
