Adriano Valente AV-L001 Watch To Go With Your Lamborghini
Finally, a watch with a design as ostentatious as a Lamborghini - designed to go with your Lamborghini. New Italian watch brand Adriano Valente (did the name give it away?) has released their first watch called the AVL001. With tons of customization options, it is designed to go with the look of newer Lamborghini cars such as the Murcielago and Gallardo. It has a unique case design and (reportedly) exclusive in-house made movement. Note that their website music might give you brain seizure. Plus, even if you turn the music off on the site, it will inexplicably turn itself back on at some point and make you wonder if the ghost of a failed Milan night club is lurking in your computer to haunt you.First of all, Adriano Valente has no relationship with Lamborghini - these are quite unofficial watches of the cars. Adriano started the brand because he simply didn't find any existing watches out there with what he wanted. So the entire point of the brand is about customization. The first mode

Citizen Campanolas On The Market! Grand Complication And Perpetual Calendar On eBay: Auctions end: Nov-25-07 19:00:00 PST
Two beautiful Citizen Campanola watches available on eBay now. Each a rarity and not often available in the US. I have discussed the Citizen Campanola line at great length on this site. You know of my affinity for them. I never thought I would love a quartz watch this much. The bottom line is that you can get an amazing level of complication and beauty for a price so far below what a comparable mechanical watch is that it makes Swiss watch producers stutter.The Grand Complication is my favorite of the two, and of the watches I have reviewed here as I own one! Check out my review of the Citizen Campanola Grand Complication here. It is the watch I am wearing as I write these words, and brings me continuing joy each time I gaze upon it. Forget the generous compliments I get on this large and attractive watch, it does just about everything you could ask for.The Citizen Campanola Perpetual Calendar model takes a different approach, with a full perpetual calendar and an indicator of the elap

Just a lazy Sunday.
So I snapped a pic. Really liking this watch!

Is a 3235-powered Sub at Basel possible?
I was reading another forum blog the other day, and the suggestion was made that one of the ¡°releases¡± at Basel will be a 3235 movement in the Submariner. As a side note, they also predicted that the GMT will get an updated movement from the 3186, a 32.. something. The more I thought about this it does kind of make sense, the 32 series is (suposedly) a substantially superior movement to the 3135 currently in there. And it has been a while (especially with the GMT, the 3185/6 has been used for many years) since we have had a serious movement update. Could Basel 2018 be the year that a lot of the ¡°innards¡± of models are upgraded and not so many external changes? I was also wondering if the 3235 would fit in to a 40MM case, since it is used now in the DJ41(?). Will we see a sweeping upgrade this year of inner workings?
