Hands-On: With The Bulgari Octo Maserati, A Limited Edition Column-Wheel Chronograph With Lacquer And Champlev¨¦ Enamel Dial
Usually when big brands present co-branded watches, whether with fictional crime-fighting superheroes or prominent aviation firms, there tends to be a what is perhaps a fair amount?of eye-rolling on the part of watch enthusiasts. In essence, these co-branding exercises tend to be much more about quick marketing, buoyed by lots and lots of legal paperwork. I don't think that the Bulgari Octo Maserati is necessarily an exception to this rule, but there is undoubtedly something to say about the understated way that this old Italian brand continues its partnership?with, well, another old Italian brand ¨C Maserati ¨C to present a?limited edition timepiece in?celebration of their shared anniversaries in 2014. Plus, the use of a manufacture movement?and two old-world finishing techniques on the dial add a lot more substance to the package. 2 OF 8 A benchmark of Bulgari's watchmaking division, the Octo collection is known for its Art?Deco-influenced angular case design, seen here

the unboxing of a Getat/ parental guidance recommended
many of you may recall an incoming thread when i ordered this watch. i have very little to add to that but i thought an unboxing post with first impressions would be neat. i ordered it 12/27/09 and it arrived at the post office 1/21/10. it shipped from hong kong on the 16th. i think 5 days to go half way around the world is impressive. the condition of the package showed that it had a long journey.the "outer box"nothing fancy by any means but the package was well protected for the trip the "inner box".again nothing to get too excited about. very pedestrian but built like a vault for the content inside. if you are expecting a manual and warranty card forget it. if you can't figure out how to wind a watch and set the time by now this may not be the watch for you. i think getat will warranty the watch (within reason) for 90 days but i have not heard of many issues with these watches that can't be resolved by a local watchsmith for less than the cost of shipping to hong kong. it's what's i

My journey to Globemaster
Looking back, I guess it began with this Connie I owned from 1963:That pie-pan dial was forever etched on my heart.Last year I was searching for a dress watch and after trying to love two 8500 ATs, I was looking for something a bit thinner with a classic look. The introduction of the Globemaster looked like a possibility. A test drive of the SS model at the OB proved disappointing however. The blue dial was nice but from experience, I knew I would tire of it. Plus, I had never cared for the AT bracelet so the GM bracelet sealed my decision to go with the strap. (My GM was not intended for casual wear anyway and I prefer straps for dress.) Admittedly the fluted bezel was a surprise but I was disappointed in the tungsten carbide. There was no pop, just blah. So I put the Globemaster on the back burner to simmer. Earlier this year when the GM was no longer exclusive to the boutiques, I revisted the Omega website and took a look at all the models. The all gold and platinum models were off

Which SpeedMaster?
Hi Folks,I'm considering buying a Speedy (I think every collection needs one). The question is, which is regarded as the best - Speedmaster Pro (manual wind) or the new Coaxial?I'm a big fan of the coaxial escapement and can appreciate an automatic wind but something in my head says that the only authentic speedy is the manual wind???Which do you guys consider as THE Speedmaster?Edit: please post pics if you've got 'em.

Nato Disaster!
Hello, this is my first post. Thanks for your help in advance. Im a proud owner of a SubC that my wife kindly bought me for our 10th wedding anniversary. I know I'm very lucky man. I love the watch and I love the way it looks on a NATO strap.Last week the watch fell off the strap completely. luckily I found the watch but not the spring bars. The spring bars where the original ones that came with the watch.I really like how the Nato looks and its very comfortable. It also calms down the bling a bit however Im nervous about wearing it day to day just incase it fails again.I replaced the spring bars again and could replicate the failure by twisting the watch strap which really isn't very good.Please could any one suggest a tougher more permanent spring bar that is harder to remove. I have heard that you can get shoulderless Spring bars that have to be cut with wire cutters in order to remove them.Anyone know where I could get these in the UKMany thanks E
