Bonjour Bill, ca depende
Hi Bill,
Its a cultural thing and sometimes the word can have more than one meaning.
In French the word "bomb" (bombe) actually does men the same thing as in English (US), but in the UK, the word can and does mean a great success.
Just a little cultural note. Churchill once said that the British and Americans are separated by a common language 
Regards,

Two Quai de l'Ile photos
I was rooting around in the hard drive and rediscovered a couple of Quai de l'Ile photographs that I'm not sure I shared here before. So, first up for your viewing pleasure the Date model in Palladium: Second is the Day-Date-Power Reserve in Rose Gold: I ...
Ahhhh... my next watch!
The QdI Time/Date in Palladium is definitely the next watch I'm buying - but that not no news to you ;-) Thanks for sharing such a nice picture. Cheers, Francois
Great choice.....
and a very nice complement to your 47212. Then all you'l need is a Patrimony Traditionnelle or American 1921 to round out the VC collection. VC's are like potato chips in that it is hard to stop with just one! Bill

Be careful with your language Alex!
I take your meaning of bomb as you intend (awesome), but if something is said to "bomb" in the marketplace it means that it failed miserably! Something which I do not expect for the QDI. Bill

I should travel more....
sowing confusion the world over with my tortured English. Thank you for that instructive note. Bill
I'm with you Alex, "diz QdI, itz da bomb - fo real"!
I was very tempted to post the picture of you with the VC Kallania ;-)
Two Marvels ! Thanks
What a watch ! Very few modern watch are so elegant, maybe none. All the versions are interesting, the stealth titanium, the classic and beautiful palladium, or the more flashy but fabulous rose gold. I am glad that I do not have to make a choice yet. I h...
