Triple Watch Mobile Phone Concept By Manon Maneenawa: A Realistic Phone Watch
Typically concept phone/watch combinations are intriguing, but so far away from practicality or the limits of current technology that they are only worth a brief glance. Then there are those things that actually look as though they could work with what we have today. This is why I am excited about the Triple Phone Watch concept.In a nutshell, the device is a folding phone that fits on a wrist strap. When the phone is folded, a smaller anterior screen displays the time. To use the phone, the wear slips out the phone and unfolds it. A concern immediately appears, but I think is easily dismissed. You can surmise that because the phone separates from the wrist strap, they can easily become lost from one another. However, mobile phones aren't typically latched to anything anyways, so these phones could be just as easy to lose as any other. Second, if you lost the wrist strap, it doesn't look like something that would be too expensive to replace anyway. Thus, I don't think there is too much

When is it good to buy something bad?
Vintage collectors hate frankenwatches. That's a fact no matter what brand(s) you're into. That's why a couple members of the VΩBT questioned this purchase last year:Nice looking watch, eh? It is all authentic Omega parts from the 50's.just from different watches, and I knew that going in. The dial and movement are from a rare hooded lug Seamaster reference 14.324 like this:pic from Omega's A Journey Through TimeThe hands are the correct length for the De Luxe pie pans of the era, and just happen to be needed for my Seamaster De Luxe which has replacement hands a bit too long:The movement is one of the more sought after bumpers from the 35x series - a chronometer 352:The case is a reference 2846, used with several 360˚ rotor calibers from the 49x and 50x series:Well, the Force was strong with me the day I bought it because it turns out I'm in a position to make a few watches correct again. Alright, I'll be honestI thought I had found the proper case for the dial & mo

trade offshore and seadweller for aquanaut?
Probably a dumb question, but always interested in forum opinions. Have an offshore black themes model that i've always liked but it's a bit oversized for my wrist. A mistake I made was that I had a breitling recently serviced, and started looking at pateks that were in the shop. Now I am having a hard time shaking the thought of trading the offshore plus a seadweller f-serial I have towards an Aquanaut. I know many state just saving and adding to the collection, but I prefer to keep the stable to only a few watches.

SMP vs. Non Ceramic Sub
Went out for dinner with some friends last night and one of them was wearing a SS sub circa 1995, I was wearing my coaxial SMP Bond. We switched watches for a few minutes and he admitted that my SMP felt much more substantial then his sub. He was very impressed with the dial, bracelet and caseback of my SMP.I know it is not fair to compare a new SMP with an older sub but with a new sub costing twice as much as a SMP, the Bond is a bargain!
