Hands-On: With The Bulgari Octo Maserati, A Limited Edition Column-Wheel Chronograph With Lacquer And Champlev�� Enamel Dial
Usually when big brands present co-branded watches, whether with fictional crime-fighting superheroes or prominent aviation firms, there tends to be a what is perhaps a fair amount?of eye-rolling on the part of watch enthusiasts. In essence, these co-branding exercises tend to be much more about quick marketing, buoyed by lots and lots of legal paperwork. I don't think that the Bulgari Octo Maserati is necessarily an exception to this rule, but there is undoubtedly something to say about the understated way that this old Italian brand continues its partnership?with, well, another old Italian brand �C Maserati �C to present a?limited edition timepiece in?celebration of their shared anniversaries in 2014. Plus, the use of a manufacture movement?and two old-world finishing techniques on the dial add a lot more substance to the package. 2 OF 8 A benchmark of Bulgari's watchmaking division, the Octo collection is known for its Art?Deco-influenced angular case design, seen here

ROO spotted at Dodgers/Braves games
I am watching the Dodgers vs. the Braves tonight. The manager of the Dodgers , Dave Roberts, is wearing what I believe to be a Royal Oak Offshore with a rubber strap. Rare to see this on a TV.

Omega SMP NASA Velcro Strap
.ebay/itm/221650011227Hey Guys:Thought that I would try out something different for my Speedmaster 861. I found this NASA inspired velcro strap on eBay; this is a short version, so it won't fit around the sleeve of your spacesuit....Anyway, it is from a Taiwan seller but the materials and workmanship are first class. Wears well on the wrist and definitely has the cool factor!

Omega Seamaster 300GMT or a used Panerai?
Hey Fellas,I've been eye-ing the 300GMT for quite some time now and have been putting some money away on the side for one. I was planning on making the purchase through watchuseek's forum AD which saves me considerably. Now, I just began looking at the Panerais and have been very intrigued. They are rather large at 44mm and is borderline on my wrist, but they still look very cool and are quite a bit different from the watches I have now. I have a Rolex Sub Date and a Tag Monaco ala Mcqueen in blue with croc band. Lately, I've been smitten with the band...So, a brand new 300GMT or spend quite a bit more on a pre-owned Panerai?
