Festina Profundo Dive Watch Comes In Bag Filled With Water
There is marketing and then there is brilliant marketing. Go shopping for watches and you may find yourself discovering a new goldfish bowl. The large Spanish watch group Festina (and brand of course) has recently started putting water-filled clear plastic bags on shelves with the newest versions of their Profudno dive watches in them. This isn't the first time a watchmaker has put a water resistant watch actually in water, but as far as we know it has never before been done like this. The brilliant concept is thanks to a Berlin-based agency called Scholz & Friends."Profundo" translates from Spanish into "deep." While these watches aren't deep under water, the message here is that they can stay in water for apparently very long lengths of time and be perfectly OK to be removed from the bag and be put on your wrist. It helps that the bags are filled with distilled water. What I like is that the retail packaging totally sells the concept of the watch. Nothing is said on the front exc

just brought an old friend home
Hi everbody I am new here so let me start off by saying hi. I am thrilled to present to everyone here my new Pepsi GMT , after the NYC GTG I just could not get this watch off of my mind . I originally bought this watch in 1991 and wore it everyday for eleven years . I foolishly sold it and have regretted it eversince. I was originally saving up for a TOG just Derek's, when I went to ad and they had this I jumped at it . All signs point to it having a 3186 movement , M36xxxx serial and the font on the dial . <a href="s205.photobucket/albums/bb142/concordhotel/?action=view&current=IMG_0476.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="i205.photobucket/albums/bb142/concordhotel/IMG_0476.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Mini GTG
Windy & I drove up to New York to meet Greg (RJ007) and Adam (GLADIATOR) & Susan last night. Windy tried her hand with the camera again:She'll get betterI hope. The lighting wasn't great for pics, but I snapped a few anyway. Adam added a few very nice watches including this one to his already incredible vintage Rolex collection:This was the one I was waiting to see:I could get used to this!It certainly isn't the rarest of his collection - I'm just a tad biased towards JLC of the 50's and 60's. Greg shared a few of his watches as well including some very rare and even one-of-a-kind Illinois. I have to admit, I really dug that ss Benrus the most though. (sorry, forgot to snap a pic but it is in the American Watch Forum HERE) I brought a few Longines and Omegas (well, what did you expect? ) but it seems Adam and Greg fancied the '61 Piaget caliber 9P the most. Adam also brought some great watch manuals too, including a service manual for Bulova from the 30's. We must h

Seeking some opinions on next purchase
Hello everyone. I'm looking to trade out some watches and kinda stuck on what to do. Here are the two pieces I'm looking at to possibly trade out.AP 44FCHublot 45 Unico RG (no bashing please)Scenario 1: Trade out both pieces for an AP44 RG and AP BLK Ceramic Diver?Scenario 2: Trade only the Hublot and buy the AP44 RG? My only concern is having 2 of the same watch in different materials. Kind of like buying the same clothes in different colors...Scenario 3: Just add a SS White Dial AP Diver to the collection.Input would be greatly appreciated..
