Girard Perregaux For Ferrari. Model No 8020

Watch & Car Art Together By French Artist Philippe Burlet
French painter Philippe Burlet knows his way around a brush as well as cars and watches. Burlet's medium of choice is watercolors, which he uses to aptly recreate the essence of sport racing and the watch loving spirit. Although relatively obscure in the United States, Burlet is a favorite among European motor sports enthusiasts, who often commission work from the talented painter.Burlet was not always an artist, but lived a life around automobiles. Somewhere in the mix he developed an eye for watches and seemingly became fascinated by their connection to fine cars. Burlet has a penchant for painting Ferrari cars both new and old. Though he does of course recreate other automobiles in watercolor as well.His art featuring watches portrays them in a larger than life manner, appearing bigger than their accompanying cars. This interesting practice serves to emphasize the shape and function of the watches as opposed to their status as timepieces only. This type of work can only come from so

I'm going to jump up a tier......
What are some recomendations? I like watches generally larger than 40mm and mostly bracelets or rubber straps. I'm not really a dress wach kinda guy but I do need one for special occassions. I would say most of my watches are tools. ( I hope that's a good thing here) There's so much to choose from it's overwhelming. I curently have tier 5 covered pretty well and I want to move up a bit. Does anyone know anything about "U-Boat" or "TW Steel" or the likes?Reccomendations and opinions are welcome.

The importance of good customer and warranty service
Well, it looks like Invicta has listed over and is about to capsize. The captain, Eyal Lalo, has apparently run his company against the rocks of credibility and truth and has holed the hull enough to sink it. What a shame. Apparently, nobody is willing to come to his rescue.However, Lalo has been very unkind to his customer base. If only he had realized that good CS/WS creates good will. Perhaps folks might have looked past his penchant for stretching the truth about his product. Nobody wants to throw him a line now, and the rats from his biggest vender are leaving the ship as fast as they can paddle their lil rat fannies away.I think it could have been far different, but unkindness does this. All that's left now is to wait for the bubbles to stop surfacing. Blub, blub.

Speedmaster:: Apollo 11 - 35th Anniversary.
Yes I'm sorry for making a new thread for it, but I believed my half-bummed effort on my last thread regarding this watch, doesn't do it justice.I have re-matched it's strap with a matte dark brown croco, and it gives me a very unique, distinct, and unmistakable look.There's nothing much to say about it anymore, it's simply a beauty.I think, of all the special Speedmasters edition, this is my favorite.
