I guess the budget kept them from being butt-ugly in this case. I know you can't debate taste but to me there is nothing more distracting from the beauty of a watch than diamonds, with gold being a close second. I think the real beauty of most objects come from their design and not from the expensiveness of the materials used.28800bph wrote:I cried when the FLEC was told we had to remove the full-pave diamonds encrusting the case and dialLoddonite wrote:It was the only way to keep them in budget.Halt wrote:These designs better be butt-ugly...
I feel less strongly about gold/diamond jewels so in that respect if you see a watch as a jewel it makes more sense (to me) to use gold and diamonds.

This is why you need a back up battery. Mine's charging now. Should be ready to check in on Tuesday.jackthedog wrote:That's dedication.

I guess Kip was flying into Boston (one of the airports on the eastern seaboard closed because of Hurricane Sandy).
The news here in Canada is talking about airports closed until maybe Wednesday.
