Looks pretty nice but I want a real Panerai!!! Probably not going to happen this year I guess depends on the tax season bonus.

I did switch my B&R to a rubber strap as mine came with leather and I am really enjoying it so far, think it really helps hold the larger heavy watches in place better without having to be super tight.

The replica keeps the others in line

I picked this up for a steal coming through duty free at Coutts. For $75 had to pick it up. I like the titanium mesh. The band is really cool.



I have had my eye on a Rado ceramic lately though. Will make a nice retirement gift for myself.

I dream of one day picking up a Rado Sintra … one day.

Thank Engadget for this one.


Price is on the down low, but it's limited to only nine being made.

I'm heading to Indonesia in June and I'll be in Bali for a couple days. What should look for as far as authorized dealers go?

damn...any idea on the price point? I like that one..not as much as the Steve Mcqueen Gulf limited edition, but if its a couple grand cheaper....well it turns out I dont owe nearly as much tax as I figured this year so.....who knows

I had to pull the trigger on it the other day. It was just to nice to leave behind.

Cannot find a price yet but limited to 1,000 pieces. Thinking about one myself as it should be cheaper than a Panerai.
