Today we’re having a bit of a look at the Orient FFE06001K, which happily for all concerned is more commonly referred to as the ‘Excursionist.’ It’s one of Orient’s few GMT watches and all in all offers a lot of watch for your cash.Breaking the Excursionist down a little; it has a 45mm case, so it wears large, but not crazy huge on the wrist.

It is funny how things develop as time goes on. So many watch I write about are dedicated to something young men would have been into in the 1960s and 1970s. Racing, planes, space travel, etc... All things that play with mens' imaginations at a young age and when they are older still have the same effect, with that added sense of nostalgia they helps you spend cash. Now watch makers are starting

I will repeat to you the words that I recently told De Bethune's CEO. There are expensive watches that I really appreciate and know that I would strongly consider getting them if I had the money.

Even watch related web sites that normally don't show much interest in my favorite brand's offerings are writing nothing but positive things about the new releases. And about the direction that Panerai are taking. One of the most written-about new models - and in fact the watch that surprised me the most when I saw it in person - is the Special

Posted by nik (#2) 438 days ago (http://feedproxy.google.com)
Another very interesting new Panerai model that was introduced at the 2011 SIHH is the Panerai PAM373 Radiomir Platino 47mm. The layout of the dial is unlike that of any of the contemporary Panerai watches that were released by Officine Panerai in the Pre Vendome and Vendome era.
