is Eco sustainability. Mr Pontrue's address was all about preserving the eco system, oceans, eco sustainable materials as results of recycling. That being said, the ESTEEL on the dial, doesn't phase me anymore than everything else they have slapped on it,...

replay, earlier on (I don't wake up at 7am), I've learned a new expression: beach to tuxedo. That is the transition that some of the brands (Tag in the specific case) are trying to achieve. Same watch from the surfboard to the grand soiree at a chateau
