Introducing: The MB&F Arachnophobia, A Clock That Will Give 3.5 To 6.1 Percent Of You The Major
MB&F is nothing if not iconoclastic in its approach to everything fromwell, to everything, and this time they've come up with a clock that is guaranteed to not be bought by a sizeable fraction of the general population (that's right, adjusted for where you live, 3.1 to 6.5 percent of the general population suffers from flat out arachnophobia – irrational fear of spiders – and while a lot of the rest of us don't, we still prefer as a rule to keep our distance). It's the Arachnophobia, which is – well, there's no way to sugarcoat it, this is a clock in the shape of a giant spider. A giant spider with long, spiky legs. A clock, we repeat, in the shape of a monstrous arachnid that bears more than a little resemblance to the final form of the Other Mother in Coraline. (Seriously, though, don't click on the link if you don't like monstrous demonic soul-eaters in the shape of spiders. Did you click on the link? Now see, that's why we told

My little collection
This is my little collection. My intent is not to boast, but simply to share some pictures of these wonderful watches that I highly cherish.It all started with the 5127G. I wanted a versatile watch that could be used both for the office and more formal occasions, but at the same time a watch that did not attract too much attention. The Calatrava in white gold was perfect; very discrete, but beautiful.

The Big Reveal...
Well here it is...my Panda Speedy.Just got it back from Rikki today. Love this combo!

DSOTM or Pam 233?
OK, long story short. I've tried Rolex a few different times and after a few months, for whatever reason the brand just doesn't stick. So I'm considering selling my subc date. Two of the watches I've lusted over are the 233 and DSOTM. I've tried the 233 on before, and it sits nicely on the wrist. I love Panerai, I have a 000 and lots of straps. I also love Omega. I've tried on a Speedy 9300 before and also, I thought it fit my wrist nicely. Right now I own a Speedy Pro. I would like the date and the auto movement as opposed to my current speedy.I love winding a pam, not so much the speedy, where I find the tiny crown a bit of a chore. I've wanted the 233 for a few years, while the Omega, just since it's release (a year or less? So does anyone have either or both that can chime in? Pics are always fun, but your thoughts might help me mull things over. Cheers and thanks for reading

Panerai's luster
I just got back from Vegas (excess capital of America) and noticed that there where a lot fewer Panerais on the wrists of people than in the past. Cesar's has a boutique now, but the big T has moved the Panerai display to the back of the store. Is panerai starting to lose its luster? I know its a brand a lot of people love to bash, but though as Panerai has become more mainstream, I thought would see more. Don't get me wrong, I switched from Rolex to get away from the hey I have the same watch crowd. And like the exclusivity, but kind of got the feeling that Panerai was no longer desirable.
