I just looked at that red Moser today and I thought..."finally a Moser that's cool looking" (hahahaha!). Seriously now... I loved it. ;-)

It is very cool indeed!

It reminds me of wine so much. I think it'd be perfect as a Sommelier's watch. I don't know if you drink wine (I don't drink very much of it), but I've been studying it (we spit it all out after tasting the wine) and this watch just makes me think about wine.
