Kon Tiki The Open Mouth!

Chad — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:02:18 +0000

When you say you are producing a watch, do it! Where is this “Kon” Tiki watch? I see it, I don’t see it? Some site in England has it $3000.00 over the what the retail was quoted to me! What!? I have been promised this watch, still, it like the raft seems to float farther away. Good bye! I will not look for you on the horizon. CTWG

Watch Voyeur

Chad — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 03:46:08 +0000

Do you find yourself looking at the sapphire exhibition back of your watch everytime before you put it on? Is it necessary to take your watch off during the day to take a peek at the movement? You may be a Watch Voyeur, an addiction we really can not find a cure (yet), still a good dive watch with a sealed back may help you fight your urges, good luck. CTWG

Zinex A Chronograph For Everyone!

Chad — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:03:22 +0000

This is another Big Beauty from the folks at Zinex. I call it a “Chronograph For Everyone” because Zinex Watches are big enough for the whole room to enjoy at a distance. Weighing in at 47mm, it packs a punch, as always limited to 100 or so pieces! Making your friends wondering where and how you got something different is half the fun of buying watches. This one will turn heads, a nice offering from a young watch company on the move. CTWG

Basel Beckons Lost Boy Returns!

Chad — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:09:21 +0000

As you might know I was without a room in Basel last year for all of the first day (I ended up in the Fatherland). I will not pull the Jason Bourne this year and hit the park benches, but plan to hit the watch scene hard. April approaches fast, so make those arrangements. Hope to see you there, mit housing. CTWG
