Gucci’s Glamorous 100G
by Idaho on Jul.27, 2010, under Reviews
It’s easy to fall for Gucci designs; the hard part is choosing the right Gucci watch for you. With over 24 different collections to pick from, finding your perfect timepiece is just a matter of taste. Gucci men’s watches are luxurious and emit an air of refinement. Gucci didn’t become the largest selling Italian watch maker for no reason. They possess distinct style, which is hard to resist. The 100G series for men is a bold and sophisticated line of timepieces. The Gucci 100G comes in various versions, each with the large signature “G” shaped dial. One model I find particularly impressive is the men’s 100G model YA100306. It is presented in a commanding size, and has that trademark Gucci styling. This men’s watch is a Swiss Quartz model, made with all Swiss components. It features a silver dial and stainless-steel case. The 100G is fitted with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 99 feet. The dial is accented by silver Roman numeral markings. Gucci has made a name for themselves by creating iconic designs, which will stand the test of time; the 100G is one of those eternal looks. Always classic and chic…that’s Gucci.

by Idaho on Jul.27, 2010, under Reviews
Many of the Breitling creations of the past were large, technical instruments, with manly appeal, but Breitling has a softer side, as well. Breitling has a well deserved reputation for building professional watches, equipped for nautical and aviation use. They pay close attention to detail and produce some of the finest Swiss made timepieces around. Today, I’d like to highlight a Breitling women’s watch. The Breitling Colt Oceane women’s watch is among their Aeromarine series, and was originally part of Breitling’s professional diving watch collection. This women’s version has cleaner lines and is less complex, yet has all of Breitling’s quality ingenuity built in. It is a smaller model, and has feminine detailing. This is a Quartz model, and offers versatility and reliability. It comes with a black dial and scratch resistant sapphire crystal, which has been glare proofed on two sides. The stainless-steel case has a screw down backing, and the steel bezel offers a screw down crown. The watch face and bracelet are brushed finished, and the strap is fitted with a fold over clasp. This is an entry level Breitling, and retails for right around $2,000. Breitling has a proven track record of making quality watches.

by Idaho on Jul.27, 2010, under Reviews
Casio G-Shocks play many roles: fashion icons, hardcore tool watches, respectable divers, etc. Today, we look at something of a new phase for the G-Shock line in the form of a “multi role fighter.” The Casio G-Shock GW-2000 sports aviation styling while retaining the GMT features of many of its older siblings. The GW-2000 combines the radio controlled technology which Casio is now famous for with a refreshed style more reminiscent of the MR-G series.
