RSW Moonflower Watch for Women 2009
Wow. Just check this out - the RSW Moonflower for Women.Powerful imagery to say the least. I love that this is a brand that is taking definite risks with a design like this - which has earned my respect, and I'm sure the respect of many more.Rama Swiss Watch, the geniuses behind the Moonflower, has grown out of need for truly unique, avant-garde pieces. Giving the manufacturing expertise of the founders, their success is sure to be guaranteed. Compare this with the fashion-forward designs and distributions, the RSW Moonflower stands alone.So, let's take the obvious. Moon. Flower. Can you see them both? Together? Not at firstbut, like those allusions, this watch offers so much more.And it's not a traditional look at all - period. For women's watches - this is a whole different game.It's definitely kind of ugly. The bumpy facade of the titanium dial is a little off-putting at first. It's a stretch for a moon - and a stretch for a flowerBut then - you gaze into the open face An

The Aviator Watch Stripped: Archimede Pilot H Is A Likeable Bare Bones Genre Exemplar
While there are a lot of "pilot" watches out there, this one particular design is something that everyone can agree on as being a "pilot" watch. It is one of the 'original' looks, and has fared very well over the years. Many (I mean many) companies have attempted to provide their own interpretation to the design, or additions to the look. Few have been able to improve on the look, and the countless iterations of the theme have remained constant. The benefits of this look is simplicity and legibility, which translates well on a petite watch, or a 55mm beast.Archimede has been making pilot watches of this ilk for a while. The various models skewing the look in various manners, but now with the Pilot H, they have taken things back to the drawing board. The result is something totally stripped down; bearing what is arguably the essence of the genre. You have a brandless dial, with blued hands, and a sober black and white color scheme. Instead of the "historical" manual wound movement, I am

Just Bought My First Omega! 45mmPO
New to the site and I must throw a thanks to Scott D. for allowing his 2200.51 to be used in "A Comparative Review" by John B. Holbrook, II (which is how I found this site as well). After studying my future purchase for 2 months I settled on that very same Omega which I just ordered through an AD today - can't wait!!!I hope it does come with the anti counterfeit laser etch which I understand is now on some POs but it doesn't matter ultimately. I considered buying from Alan Furman but a nearby AD was very aggressive with pricing and I helped him out by paying cash instead of going the Visa route. I big win as I really want the COSC.Looks like a great site here! :)

Second thoughts... help!
Well, I'm in a pickle, but only figuratively. I just ordered the Victa retrograde which I like but I also have eyes for another. It's the Orsa Monstrum in silver/green. I like them both and both are hard to come by and I'm afraid I'd never see much of either again. So, which would you all go for?Pros for Invicta- $75 lessBrown dial, never had oneBraceletPros for OrsaAutomatic, although MiyotaThick Domed Crystal (Both are Sapphire however)Unique in brand and looksCons for InvictaQuartzI already have 3 InvictasPerhaps a return/ reorderCons for OrsaDomed crystal reflectionsRubber Strap onlyPriceBoth are unique and have things I like, I'm just not sure which would have more "staying" power with me.
