My Franc Vila EVOS 8 Cobra Watch Article On AskMen.com
Right before I wrote this article I was fortunate enough to actually meet with Franc Vila himself. He showed me a selection of watches from his collection, including the Cobra models that I wrote about for AskMenwatches-dealer (see link below). It was interesting that I met with the man who made a watch I was about to write about. I was literally assigned to write about the watch a few hours before I met him, so it was a total coincidence really. He is a charismatic fellow who is more a watch enthusiast turned watch company owner as opposed to being a introverted watch maker like the hardcore fellows. He has a deep connection with the designs and a close relationship with his customers. What amazed me about the watch is just how solid they felt. If you've ever picked up a watch that felt like lots of pieces put together, you'll now what I mean. The Franc Vila watches feel like one solid piece. Check out my discussion of his mainstream Cobra Chronograph line of watches.See my Franc Vila

Speedy Tuesday: Boom or Bust?
What are your thoughts on how this will do in the secondary market? Will it be a sought after limited edition similar to the snoopy or will it flop like various other limited editions have done? I confess that I very much like the look of this watch. But it seems expensive for what it is and the inscription on the caseback and association with social media is just cheesy. Thanks.

First Panerai: PAM384
Hi All,Long time lurker first time poster here and thought it was finally time I jumped into the mix. I finally pulled the trigger last week and bought a PAM384 from a fellow member here. Hasn't left my wrist since the day it came. Big thanks to RUPanerai for a smooth transaction. It's a few years old, O-Series, but so far she seems to be running perfectly.

Explorer 214270 bracelet on BLNR?
I tried doing a search but couldn't find any results: does anyone know if the Explorer 214270 bracelet fits on the GMT ii BLNR?They're both 20mm and look the same. It would be awesome to be able to store the PCL bracelet away, put on the brushed Explorer bracelet, and just put a strap on the Explorer :)Thanks!
