Bovet Dimier Recital Watch Collection
Dimier is a sub-brand of Bovet, that is just as high-end, and also known as the watch movement maker of the group. Bovet didn't start Dimier, but rather acquired it. I've never seen a Dimer watch in the US - only in Europe - butt hat doesn't mean there aren't a few of them hanging around. Bovet and Dimier watches are said to be made in the same place, with similar values. Though Dimier watches are a bit more traditional in form. Unlike Bovet watches they don't have that pocket-watch-on-your-wrist style that is quite unique.Bovet and Dimier are more or less manufacture movements for all the high-end stuff. Dimier watches are rare and what I have assorted here are their six "Recital" watches. Will there be a Dimier Recital 7? Probably. I don't know the release cycle of the Recital watches, but a new one might be slated for release each several years. UDATE: See info on what is meant to be the Recital 7 below.Many of the watches in the collection have a common set of features - these incl

Sharing Your Mind: RSS Blog Syndication For The Willing
People blog for a number of reasons, mostly to get their ideas out there. One takes the time and effort to share their thoughts and information in the hopes that they will attract an interested audience. The vast majority of blogs on the internet have a very limited audience. The reason for this is that only a few people are ever coming across their articles to begin with.

In essence, RSS makes it possible to share blog postings on internet news feeds. If your blog postings are RSS accessible then interested individuals or websites can have RSS feeds that display your content as it becomes new. The effect of which is that people who aren't visiting yo

White Gold 3919-G hold value?
I understand no one has crystal ball, but how well do you think a White Gold with Hobnail Bezel and seconds hand Calatrava 3919-G will hold its value in future?They can still be had for slightly under $10k, since they are not produced anymore, will prices continue to rise or doubtful?I want one in future since I really really like it, but if prices are pretty sure to rise I may just pick up now as they are not produced anymore.Chuck

Finally pulled the trigger!
After a fairly long search I picked up my first Panerai: a 219! I've been hoping to own a Destro for a while now so I'm pretty stoked about this one. Sorry no pics yet. I'll have the watch in exactly one week and I'll be sure to post some pics then!

Who��s thinking slimmer lugs?
This has been talked about, not sure if it’s been debated or rationalized...two different ways to think.....1. With recent Sub and GMT incomings, trickling in inventories, etc.... it seems there’s no change coming, in case or lug dimensions on the Sub or GMT. 2. On the other hand, there’s the recent developments or redesigns from bigger, to more refined, or “classic” proportions....ex: DJ 41, DD 40, SD4K, SD43, possible discontinuation of BLRO, etc....WHAT’S EVERYONE’S THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE’LL SEE, soon?I know...”only Rolex knows”, but just looking at some contradictory factors, as stated above, what is this fine collection of experts opinion? Just some Sunday thought provoking...
