Wow, that is awful, Raymond. I wish you immensely better luck this Monday, and for the rest of the week. Do I take it you were hinting that your General-Manager might accuse you of some "insider job" shenanigans? Well, that's just silly.

Anyway, positive vibes down your wave in HK! At least you are wearing a beautiful watch...

Hi V! So warm to see u here after a rough day.

No, My boss won't think that about me. However; he will be crazy about losing USD$100K <_<

Best Regards,

Raymond

Just delivered from China yesterday, the Bvlgari Assioma. It has a nice heavy, quality feel to it, and having also worn the gen, this rep is nearly identical. As a dress watch, this one makes a nice addition to the collection.

Nice Bvlgari.........is this the 44mm wide version or the smaller case size?

This grand complication masterpiece just arrived in the mail about an hour ago. It is a rep of the Jules Audemars Special Edition Tourbillon, a watch that retails for over a quarter million US dollars! :good: Did I mention it is also celebrity-owned? Perhaps you will recognize it from somebody here on the forums... anyone care to take a guess?

I will be reviewing the piece in more detail later on... but suffice to say it inspired me to snap my first-ever wristshot:

Soo, despite my PlanetOceanitis flaring up last night, this morning, there was a new arrival. Yes, the Panerai 111h I've been waiting on. I'd hoped it would arrive friday (as that was 7 days after I bought it), but, a miscommunication over shipping caused Monday to be the actual shipping day, so it arrived in precicely 7 days :) Thoughts and opinions... I rather like the dark brown strap it came on, and, best of all, it has one of the 'thumbnail' buckles rather than the 'whale-tail' buckles, which personally, I find a tad fetishistic and almost 'over compensatory'. The lume could do with work, but, reacts very well to UV and holds a charge nicely. There is also the common recessed cannon pinion problem, but I can't be bothered to get it worked on. Strange though, that the 111h I had to return for a faulty power reserve did not have the flaw :lol:

I wore the watch all day, and never had the 'getitoffgetitoffgetitoff' feeling that I wasn't wearing my Planet Ocean, and should be wearing it rather than anything else. Also, my fiance said she prefered how it looked on me to the Planet Ocean, so I can't really argue with that. Even though I am a self-confessed PAMophile, this is only going to be my 'casual watch' for jeans and T-shirts. Suits will still get the Omega treatment :lol: I'll try and get some actual photos of the watch tomorrow :)
