Gucci Marina Chain Watch Collection - Women's Cruise 2009
A sexy bracelet that tells time. By Gucci.That's what this is.Gucci is a brand known for its Italian flair - classic shapes - and brilliant use of iconic motifs. You know a Gucci when you see it.This is holding true for their timepieces as well. As a relatively new extension of the brand, the watches are just a continuation of trends and designs that have already proven successful in their fashion and handbag lines. But one problem that seems to be clouding Gucci watches is that what works for handbags, does not always work for watches.I love Gucci - just not their watches. At least, not yet.Like the Gucci Marina Chain Watch, above, introduced at this year's Gucci Women's Cruise fashion show. In the context of a fashion show, this watch works. And in this promo shot below, it definitely fits in. The iconic logo bag - the neutral color palette - the lush fabrics But, for everyday wear - I do not see this as a wearable watch.The Marina Watch Collection definitely keeps up with id

Watch trade question.....
Need your help fellow watch folks.....This got moved to the Omega forum, so please give me your best unbiased thoughts ( : (I realize mileage would vary in the Panerai forum). I posted in the Rolex forum to get unbiased thoughts, but it was moved as it is non Rolex I guess...Would you trade this......For this?Thanks for your thoughts!EricE

Brand New Omega Died!!
I guess I now have to believe all the threads about omega P.O.'s dying. Because mine just did. It is Brand new from an AD about a month ago(ish) and after winding it this morning, it ran for a half hour and died. It will start if I shake it or flick it then die again a few seconds later. Great now I get to send it off to Omega and wait to get my watch back. Not a good experience for a first time Omega owner
