These watches were expensive when new, and did not sell particularly well. Few were made. Additionally, '80s watches were not considered "vintage" yet when Doxa models from the '60s fausses Richard Mille rm 029 and '70s became popular during the early 2000s, so the handful of '80s models that were produced existed in relative obscurity. For a long time, they were undesirable.Whether or not to put the logo on the dial was also the product of a great deal of discussion internally. Ultimately, the decision was made to meet halfway, resulting in a very interesting solution. There is a transparent material on top of the dial, and the H. Moser & Cie wordmark is done in a transparent lacquer. In certain lights, you'll see the logo, and in others, you won't – like magic.This new Air-King entirely repositions the collection – moving into the hallowed halls of Rolex's Professional watch line. With that distinction comes a completely new case. Out is the Milgauss-style body, and in is the case-shape we've come to recognize on the GMT-Master II with its sharp squareness and slab sides. This case design comes exclusively with crown guards, which is why we see them here.The strap also helps to shed some light on the reality of this first Aquanaut reference not really being a full-on Aquanaut, but rather a "Nautilus-Aquanaut," as the clasp that originally came fitted to the strap for the 5060A was signed "Nautilus" (shown above). As reported by Collectability and our own HODINKEE Shop, it wasn't until the launch of the 5066 that we find "Aquanaut" shown on the clasp all by its lonesome.In the hourglass that is my life, I'm keenly aware the bottom is now much fuller than the top. I'm thankful that the past few years have provided plenty of opportunities to focus on the things I love and that bring me joy. Life is precious, and it's far too short to leave the Stetson hat and cowboy boots gathering dust.The movement is the caliber BVL 262, a Réplicas Richard Mille rm 016 33-jewel automatic decorated with Côtes de Genève, with plenty of chamfering and beveling on its plates and bridges. It’s escapement beats at a conventional 28,800 vph, with power reserve of 42 hours. There is a smokey sapphire window on the back of the case giving you a view of the movement, though it's largely obstructed by the massive Maserati logo.In the end, your winner was our winner: "Pepsi," most commonly used in reference to the Rolex GMT-Master and GMT-Master II (both vintage and modern) because of its red and blue color scheme. The name has since become synonymous with any watch featuring a red/blue bi-color bezel. Even the Tudor Black Bay GMT is sometimes called the "Diet Pepsi."When we arrived, he was a bit nervous handling the watch so he asked that I help him put it on. It comes fitted to a dark brown leather strap with a bronze buckle that matches the case. We got it While in Poland – like I did with the Moser Mega Cool – I shared the Legend Diver with the family, giving them a chance to see a watch they might not normally get to and showing them how it worked. My wife's grandfather took a particular interest in it.The Tuna comes packing a brilliant L-shaped rubber gasket that keeps helium out. The in-house 8L35 movement is made by Grand Seiko in its legendary SII facility in Morioka. The 26-jewel, 50-hour power reserve, 28,800 bpm 8L35 is essentially an un-bedazzled 9S55. Remember, it's a monocoque case with no display, so you'll never see the movement anyhow.The next thing that really stood out to me was the level of finishing on the case. Creating a brushed ceramic surface is not an easy feat, but this watch makes it look that way. For one thing, ceramic is always going to give off a bit of a sheen, and especially when dealing with a watch with this loud a monochromatic color scheme, the brushed surfaces help to mute the noise.This 2023 model takes a little bit from the Le Mans and the Newman to create this celebratory look. The first is the use of red accents, even if they are not in places you would normally find them (in this case, on the bezel). But you see things here like the use of a black ceramic bezel, which is a riff on the black acrylic bezels of the older models.In comparison to the last one I came across, which was the best I’d ever seen, this one certainly stands out as the more impressive example. That’s because its dial is quite literally immaculate and free of any flaws. On a watch with a sunburst dial, this really counts, in that the slightest mark will really stand out like a sore thumb. My only gripe would be that the case looks to have been polished, though its defining lines are still visible, so it’s ultimately not a deal breaker.Spring is really starting to look more like Hot Dive Watch Summer, and hot off the heels Réplicas Richard Mille rm 17 of a few really fun announcements, Sinn has dropped their own offering by way of a new mid-size U-Series diver. Available in several versions, this is the new U50 diver, and what you need to know is that it's 41mm wide, 11.2mm thick, and available with a Tegiment hardened steel case.The new limited editions introduce some further variations on the basic theme of the First, including the use, for the first time, of a Spring Drive movement in a First-based case and the use of a new version of the hand-wound caliber 9S64, with some very visible alterations and upgrades to the movement finish. The SBGZ005 will be produced in a boutique-only series of 50, at $103,000, and SBGW260 in a series of 350 watches, at $29,000 – also only available in Grand Seiko boutiques.Price increases are hitting the watch industry in a bigger way than ever before. In a recent interview given to Bloomberg, Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe said that the brand would be raising prices on all of its watches as suppliers have implemented price increases ranging from 10 to 15 percent.Also, speaking of dads, Curry is one of four Warriors players whose father also played in the NBA – the other three being Gary Payton II, son of Hall of Famer Gary Payton, Sr.; Andrew Wiggins, son of former shooting guard Mitchell Wiggins; and Klay Thompson, son of two-time NBA Champion Mychal Thompson (and a Tissot ambassador).AP has also adjusted the dial layout for the perpetual calendar. The moonphase is still at 6 o'clock, but the full moon is now centered on the 12 o'clock axis (a fact that I never realized wasn't the case until this release). The day and date have been rearranged to what the brand calls a "European" date display – day of the week at 9 o'clock, date at 12 o'clock, and month at 3 o'clock.https://www.google.com.pr/url?q=https://www.fakerolexshop.uk.com/product-category/day-date/ https://maps.google.com.pa/url?q=https://www.richardmillerelogios.to/coleccoes-rm/rm-037/ https://zzb.bz/6ZzDXa https://v.gd/2Deld0 https://tinyurl.com/uu92v65t https://www.bark.com/en/sg/company/vanessaqabila/81bDGO/
