iPod Nano Gets Blinged Out - Proves Watches Never Went Out
A friend of mine did a funny thing. He bought himself a new iPod Nano - the 6th generation one that everyone has been wearing like a watch - and started to bling it out. Kenneth Tong is the type of guy who does this sort of thing. A fan of diamonds and other shiny precious things, he would never have just worn the iPod Nano like a watch the "normal" way on a NATO strap on in one of those cheap silicone things you can buy. No, he needed it to have diamonds, which the bracelet he had custom made for it does.But it got me thinking. Not about diamond decoration - people have been decorating things they like with diamonds for eons. More about the allure of the iPod Nano as a watch. People have been remarking on how "watches are dying." Referring to the fact that some people are choosing their mobile phones over watches.

The material is approximately three times stiffer than steel and is much denser than steel or titanium. (copy+paste from Wikipedia). Almost impossible to scratch (unlike titanium, which scratches easy). Who else uses super alloys? What's special about them? Wanna play?

Considering flipping some for a pretty big purchase.
I will say my DSSD is my least favorite watch but I order that watch in 2008 as a graduation present from grad school and I could never sell it. That said I have probably one the white five times since 2010 or 11 when I purchased a new subc. The Hulk is and amazing watch and I will buy another one much cellular then later I hope. But with the fact I have a deposit on a SD43 they watch funds are looking kind of slow I am right now so I suspect it will at least be a year. Though if I really fell in love the SD43 could be sold as well. . I also have my birth year SD, a SubC. My girlfriend does not understand why I have for watches that she considers the exact same but us true WISs totally understand. But I am going to consolidate after I get my new SD and narrowing it down to 4-5 watches so I'm going for something different. A PP 42mm Aquanaut blue face. Other choices are a AP 26400.SO not sure in TI/RG/SS and the YG SubC with the blue dial has been calling my name for years. I personally
