funny looking watches....
.....but I kind of like them.
The design is going somewhere different and contrary to others I think it holds together- much different to BR01, this is something new. It will all be determined by how it wears on the wrist though.
P.S.
I agree- panerai have a lot to work at to make me believe they are worth much more than a JLC / IWC (regardless of actual street price).
NUBEO...with the Max Busser AF 3, it was the only other watch I bought (on the spot)
Pick up at Basel with Hummer...appropraite for a case that is bigger, thicker, more bullet proof, armoured, incredibly well CNC cut.... Anyway..in 2004/5 I visited Basel and found an obscure article for a watch called NUDEO Jellyfish..I called Mike Tay an...
Great post, Bernard.
I agree that based on the pictures, it appears that the execution of the case is excellent. I also agree with you about Panerai. This Brand has come to a stage that I almost call it a bull shit Brand. They control the number of pieces that come to Asia ma...
I always thought they looked a bit odd
And only gave them cursory attention. But I respect your opinion and will definitely check them out in detail. I still remember how right you were about the BR01, and how wrong I was, way back when it was launched in '03 or '04. Thanks Bernard. - SJX
The art to make expensive work look cheaply ....
... is brought to new levels of mastery; at least this is what I think looking at the pictures in your article, dear Bernard. Of course I know that every watch has to be judged in real metal only, but maybe it is your sect-like invocation of the brand's n...
Well, Bernard, I'm glad to see that you'll have something nice to say . . .
. . . about Glashütte Original soon ;-) . . . see, I do read your posts word for word! Cordially, Art
Design is over the top for me
From your pictures, the watches look like "organisms" to me :P Cheers, Anthony
You knwo on record here that I collected the Ikepods..and...
It took me years to hunt down the Seaslug alarm as thAT WAS THWE ONE WATCH I missed in the Newson Seaslug and Manatee designs. The NUBEO really brings all those emotions back...the organism feeling..yes you are 100% right..I feel as if I am wearing a litt...
I beg to differ..being an expert on porn...take Jessica Drake & Jana Cova in the early yrs
They wore cheap metal bracelet watches and were nude..with tan. Then lately they wear Pateks, Rolexes and even AP Offshores and RM 005...I saw at AVN awards as well as in "some movies"...now that is soooo much better.
