Watches - another OCD problem
-
I'd like to see how the Bulgari wears. It's quite a bit watch, but I'm used to wearing a 44 mm piece on a daily basis, so it might not be a problem.
aBlogToWatch has a piece up about Bremont. @GingerMagician might be interested in reading it.

looks good with anything I put on. Come back guys, where you all going.
Okay, okay @Tempvs what you got for me ::)

@madmonday my father is always telling me how expensive mechanical watches won't keep time as well as a cheap Timex. So @Tempvs is doing you a favour by not sharing any of his collection.

Thanks for the heads-up, @Graeme - will take a look.
I'm not a hugely invested in the Bremont brand per se (though they do make very good watches that are decent value if picked up second hand), it's just that the two I own were the incumbents when I got tired of the constant flipping!

If anyone's interested in avant garde haute horologie, Bulgari still have a few examples of the Gefica in stock.
It comes in two models, the Bi-Retro (on the left), which has a retrograde calendar, and the moonphase / GMT (on the right), which I discussed in the previous post.
Both have a 47mm bronze case, 100 metres water resistance, and a crocodile strap.
The local Bulgari boutique is offering a 15% discount on these without even asking. Given they're a discontinued model for around 2010 or 2011, and obviously didn't sell well (the Bi-Retro was a limited edition of 199), I think that there's scope for them to be a
bitlot more generous.The original Gérald Genta editions of the watch were more adventurous with colour, and there's an Art Deco charm to the numbers. I like the white version, and there's one for sale on Chrono24 at the moment.
