The weekend of the "Black Swan watch" ...
By: nilomis : April 25th, 2013-09:12
Team, The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that is a surprise (to the observer), has a major effect. By extension, a "Black Swan Watch" is one that we never ever considered and it just show up and we a...

I believe that we all missed you, or better, your ankle/ talocrural region shots. You missed a lot of fun but ... "the show that never ends". BTW: Beautiful Darth Vader Cartier. Cheers, Nilo
We should do a wrist scan dedicated to ...
By: nilomis : April 25th, 2013-11:40
Ankles, shoulders and other anatomic watch shots. Of course, we should block any attempt from Graham (do you remember?) to show a ankle shot. Cheers, Nilo
Team ... Please!!!
By: nilomis : April 25th, 2013-13:29
You and Graham are outstanding. Nuts. As I learned with an Asian customer: "Thank you very much but no!". Cheers, Nilo
haha, thats a classic Horo.

A quartz watch ...

No matter what, inside your collection, will look like some sort of ugly duck. But the X33, is a cool watch, for sure. Cheers, Nilo
