Opening its simple box the Metric here in its colorful Retro Dial iteration is very close to what I expected from the original brand images. To recap for those that link missed the original post the Metric measures 36mm wide and 41.5mm link lug to lug and is just 10.75mm thick with a sapphire crystal steel caseback and 50 meters of water resistance. Oh and it sells for 395 and can also be had link in a steel-and-blue colorway.

That said the bezel remains excellent link the all-brushed finishing is lovey and the link 18K like any Fifty-Eight feels perfect on my seven-inch wrist. Swapped onto a tan leather strap the blasphemy! its casual link and offers something of a wink toward Tudors own legacy in dive watches. These are all good things and I'd love to see the same watch in different coloring blue with gold accents for me please.

Yes we dont know the exact year of production for each watch movement and probably none of them come from the exact same batch. We chose link to make 20 watches simply because I had 25 R100 movements collected over the link course link of a decade.

Let's get this out of the way for all the pedants MBampF refers to the link dial plate platine for those who appreciate their watch lingo in its most beautiful language as a dial at least when they refer to the beautiful salmon-colored spiral sunburst finish above which sits about half the movement and all its important displays and actual lacquer dials and subdials. So what if the Legacy Machine has multiple link things that link can be called dials It's a salmon watch in every way that matters.

When I asked Rich to advise on my collection he said I should spend "15000 to 25000 on a nice dress watch." Perhaps Rich underestimated my love for dress watches or perhaps I'm just one of link those clients who should better heed the advice of his expert advisor but I link decided to spend substantially link more on a Cartier Tank Asymetrique in yellow gold specifically the limited edition of 300 Cartier made in 1996 as part of its CPCP collection.

Given Rosselli's life-long love for soccer fostered by both his grandfather and his father it is no link surprise that one link of his most treasured objects is a photograph taken of him and the Brazilian soccer star Pelé. The photograph was taken in 1982 and is of young Rosselli dressed as a Mexican Charro held by Pelé in link the 1982 Hispanic Day Parade on Fifth Avenue.

For the last several decades we have focused mainly on watches and diamonds. After long being known as the link citys premier loose diamond and engagement ring provider our watershed moment in the watch industry came about through our partnership with link Rolex in 1997. Rolex complemented our brand and link heritage perfectly as it was and continues to be synonymous with the best quality and craftsmanship.

While the existing Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date versions those being in white or rose gold retail for 40100 each of the link fifty platinum pieces being added to the Collection Excellence Platine will sell via VC boutiques for 67000. With platinum forming everything from the case to the dial and even the link thread used for the link strap you kinda knew it was going to cost a pretty penny. That said you get a very limited and lovely watch in return.

Alongside the stainless steel chronograph Breitling has introduced the "Night Mission" link version with the link same specs just a black ceramic link bezel and case with a black or yellow dial the crown and pushers are titanium!. MSRP of the Night Mission Chronograph is 9300.

While I see the Octo Finissimo as something of an Aperol spritz to the champagne of the usual big Swiss players no watch in this lofty category is without competition. Additionally it's worth considering not only link watches at a similar price point but also watches that would be of interest to the same sort of buyer. In this case a well informed and well-heeled link fan of link both design and legit watchmaking that is seeking a watch to make a statement albeit a deft one.
