Bremont Adds New Models to Its Solo Collection
Bremont launched its Solo collection, inspired by pilots’ watches from the 1940s, in 2011. This year, the line expands with the addition of a new white-dial model, which accompanies the original black-dial version, and a smaller version with a 37-mm diameter case.Like its predecessor, the new white-dial Solo is housed in a 43-mm three-piece steel case, whose design Bremont refers to as “Trip-Tick,” and powered by a modified ETA 2836 movement that the company has named BE-36AE. The movement has been chronometer-certified. The case undergoes a special hardening process at Bremont’s workshop in England that gives it a hardness of over 2,000 Vickers, and renders it seven times more scratch resistant than normal watch-grade steel.Above and below: the new Bremont SoloThe other watch, nicknamed Solo-37, is the smallest timepiece that Bremont has yet produced, and the company sees it appealing primarily to women.

Hello Everybody, wrapping up my stay in Rome enjoy these last shots!Who doesn't like a genuine panini with prosciutto bacon, ouza ham and all the fixings toasted to perfectionThis was outside St. Peters Basilica and the throngs of people waiting to go to mass was astounding, it was so busyOutside of the Castle of Saint Angelo, pretty dark dreary place btw.Nothing says Rome like some amazing ruins.I guess there was a stage of the Toure de France going on, didn't see Lance Armstrong or any other bikers for that matter A lot of roads were closed off as well.Who doesn't like a cute wittle weenie dogExterior of the Pantheon, Rome's best preserved ancient structure.A shot of the dome inside the pantheon, the oculis in the center is the only light source it has, and when it rains it rains inside and actually drains into an irrigation source.In the early 600's that's right 600's., The pantheon was converted into a Catholic church, and the church was highly instrumental in keeping the pantheo

Tough decision time
Tuesday is my birthday and I told myself that if a watch I really liked came up on one of the deal-a-day sites I should just treat myself. Well, two came up.I had been eyeing the Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre 3100 because I think the design is really sharp, I like the idea of the second time zone and I really want something with a perpetual calendar.

What's giving me pause is that I do prefer the black dial/black leather band combo, although I haven't found that version for less than $229. The blue dial/stainless steel band is a close second and is actually the one that attracted me to the model in the first place.Blue face watch in question:And in black:Next up was ChronoShark with a drop dead gorgeous automatic Bulova Marine Star 98A106. Blue dial, blue bezel, open heart, two tone band. That one's going for $139, and I read through the Bulova/Accutron forum and it seems that people are pret
