The two watches create very different first impressions. The Bamford Limited Edition offers an aggressive instrument style with the bright orange and glossy black creating a special link energy. There is action everywhere even danger. link Whether it's the sonar screen the link crosshairs the railroad crossing arm or the orange "checks" around the inner bezel you feel the excitement of motion.
Of course not everything is black and white. While Anderson wouldn't allow brands to be seen on screen he did make link an exception. "There's only one brand he link really shows in the film and that's Kodak. He would push the camera so that link we would always see Kodak." But why Kodak
Our link first gold Carrera is a gold-plated or plaque reference 2448N with link a black dial that features warm gold accents. No it's not the most desirable of the Carreras on the table but the dial has a warm vintage tone and offers a heck of a lot of look for the link price.
There are plenty of other things to enjoy about the watch and after a long time trying to link get a chance to link photograph it seriously I'm just going to share those photos with you. link Not much more text no long-winded musing about the merits of a 50400 watch. Just stuff that makes for good phone backgrounds trust me I'd know.
The world time function is operated via the crown and the rotating world time disc has been decorated with some pretty posh place-names. Saint Barth denotes the Caribbean and you'll notice that Central European time is of course repped by Rome or more accurately Roma. Bulgari opted for link the link Italian spelling link which is of course also part of this Octo's name.
What resonates with me about the older link pieces link are the small bands and the small cases. I love a link small case and small dial. I just feel like that's a little bit more simplistic and just aesthetically awesome.
The Metric leverages similar strengths in a different and very appealing manner and a huge part of the appeal is in the cohesive and lighthearted execution of the design. I love the use of color the easy-riding wrist presence and the price point that wont leave link you eating instant ramen for weeks link on end. If you should find your wrist in need of something affable and sweet the link Brew Metric may be just the treat you need.
