I spent almost a day, in fact, I went twice to Bulgari, during Basel...explored the rooms, ate lunch, wasted everyone's time...including half of the staff and design team...and that's alot of time to waste (especially when I am not press or moderator)...BUT BUT..after having seen the T1000, the awesome MBF4 and the superb (really Dufour level) LAURENT FERRIER (yes..captital letters), and thrown out with bath water (Pateks and Parmigianis)....and committing myself to a white Ploprof from Omega....and locating a 2001 Space Odyssey Hamilton ( yes)....
I will STILL WANT to have the Bulgari X Pro ...what the hell...the watch is a SOLID MASS of a DISC of SOLID METAL ( forget steel, sounds too platonic)...this is a watch you could have sex in, there are not many watches that a man will look good in when he is naked! Come to think of it, only women look good naked with watches on. Hmmm...socks too...why do men look strange naked with socks on and women look sexy with stockings on? But that's another story worth investigating next Basel.
But I digress.
The X Pro ..and I am serious here...was that good....and well almost that affordable...that you WILL want to own one. Its like the damned Rolex Deepsea thing and the Panerai or AP Offshore mental thing. It costs the price of a solid gold Daytona.
When you see it...touch it...you will understand the dynamics of eros, aka the must have or regret later syndrome.
I promise to post it when I have collected the damned watch from the local retailer here in sunny Singapore!
Meanwhile..here's MTF's picture to make sure we are on the same page here!
