Hideous Melding Of Mobile Phone, Mechanical Watches, And Painful Design: The Mobiado Professional 105GMT Gold Discovery Phone
What do you get when you try too hard to make a luxury mobile phone that stands out? In fact, what do you get when you try too hard to make just a luxury mobile phone? Most of the time it is some hideous creation that excels at delivering a sub par technological device in an expensive skin. So if you want to spend big bucks on a luxury phone, you can have a device that is probably antiquated before it reaches market, and is covered in gems, gold, and other gaudy looking essentials. The message no one seems to be getting is that mobile phones are mostly a commodity because technological changes and advancements require an upgrade every 12-24 months. Stick luxury watches, those can last for generations - literally.Still, there are a slew of "successful" luxury phones out there. Vertu is one of them, as well as the Tag Heuer Meridist. There are also Nokia's line of "fashionable" phones that come with hefty style premiums. These phones do well in limited markets, especially among those are

Went to the Omega Boutique.... wow!
I gotta say... the boutiques are quite nice, but the new watches are even better.First time I placed on the new PO in 42 and 45.5.... WOW. Impressive timepiece! I'd like to get one and add to my collection, but the price jumped quite a bit since the older PO. $6200.... kind of a lot. I don't even know what the purpose of this post is, but I guess I just had to let someone know that I am beginning to dig the new POs quite a bit.

Omega Speedmaster Professional 50th Anniversary LE
Yesterday evening I received a call from my AD informing me of the arrival of the Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary LE. I paid him a visit, took a look at the watch, out came my wallet, and now I am a proud owner of this admirable timepiece from Omega with a distinguished history.This is the all steel version with the traditional 1861 movement. I chose this because the 1861 movement is descended from the original Speedy movement which actually went into outer space. The other pricier versions had the new 3201 co-axial manual wind movement which is totally unrelated to the original Speedy Pro. Also I did not like the sapphire sandwich case of the other versions.I'll be posting more pics later at the watch gallery section.

Help: Daytona vs skydweller
Hey all,So my AD asked me the other day what stainless piece I¡¯d be looking for next, and, as a reflex, I stated ¡°A white face Daytona.¡±But my wife asked ¡°what about a skydweller?¡± And, after discussion, I¡¯m reaching out. I have a black face Rolex, and a blue on the way, so I¡¯m really thinking white. What do you guys think? Skydweller or Daytona?

Help me learn about finding my birth year Sub
Hey TRF,After much hemming and hawing I have decided to save and plan for a birth year SS Sub, preferably no date (I¡¯ll settle for date if I have to). So I¡¯m late December 1984. I guess an ¡®85 would be fine too right? What I want to know is: where should I look for one, and what sort of price point should I be expecting? Anything else I should know? Is this technically vintage? Is it still 5513 or did those stop in the early 80s?Thanks!
