I hope to provide a more detailed review (and with any luck, better, brighter photos) after I've had some time to wear it. My first impression is very positive. It has a deep red dial (carbon fiber) and yellow hands on the subdials, protected by sapphire crystal. Case and band are dark gunmetal. The watch has nice weight to it.
Yesterday my iPod Classic, bought in 2011, went on the brink. It wouldn't sync. I couldn't even restore it. Apple Tech Support couldn't help it over the phone. They told me I could mail it to them and for $130 they'd send me a refurbished model.
I chose another route: I took it to Advanced Micro Systems Apple Repair in Torrance. For $30, they'll change the hard drive, a common problem on iPod Classic. The sales rep told me that while the iPod Touch won't give me anywhere close to 160gigs like on my Classic, it has fewer moving parts and therefore fewer moving problems. Most of the repairs, the rep said, are for the Classic.
A month ago, we gave our cribs away to Francisco's cousins and replaced them with Teddy Bear beds. All was well until about a week ago when we started finding Julia sleeping on the floor. Is she falling off the bed or choosing to sleep on the floor? If she wants to sleep on the floor so badly, then I would have just bought one bed for Natalie.
Angelo joked that my Orient M-Force is my Elaine watch. Elaine is the woman in Seinfeld whom Jerry hangs out with because he finds fault with all the women he dates. I'm always complaining about my other watches having this or that fault and then I happily put on my M-Force.
It happened again today. I was in my front patio with my girls as they jumped on their trampoline while I waited for Raphael to pick me up for Middle-Eastern food. I had on my Invicta Luminary but the more I looked at it the more I got an uncomfortable Las Vegas vibe. At the last second I took it off and wore my M-Force to the restaurant. Man, I love that M-Force.
Maybe my instinct to sell off my "Las Vegas "watches several months ago was right after all. I feel a purge coming on. I'll keep my two Venoms and my Russian Diver and off with the rest.
I have one watch, my Invicta Luminary, with tritium, which is a radioactive light that doesn't need to charge up. The downside: It dies after 10-20 years, we are told.
What do you do when the tritium dies? Trash the watch? Use it in daylight only? Would you rather have tritium or Superluminova? The latter needs to charge up with sunlight but doesn't fade.
I agree with Rynomatic Watch Blog about how the Imperious Man of War is an homage to Panerai. Looking up that connection, I stumbled about the blog. A lot of watches similar to the ones I covet.
I had a conversation with a CCrane customer service person prior to placing an order for the 2E yesterday. The person told me the "enhancements" are an upgraded DSP chip (no details given ) and wider range bass and treble controls. All "enhancements" are internal. There is nothing in the way of external changes; no new switches, controls, buttons, etc.
I received the new CC Radio 2 Enhanced today and love it! This is my first CC Radio and so I don't have anything to compare it too, but the sound quality is excellent. FM is extremely selective and sensitive. AM id great, of course. No new buttons based on the pictures, but some upgrades in the production run is what Customer Service told me. FM does have a stereo light come on when the reception is very good and so maybe that's new. I read the reviews about the voice being better than the music, but I think that both are excellent. Another minor change is that weather alert can be turned on while in Ham mode which I think is something new. Box and manual are identical to prior CC Radio 2. Great radio and would highly recommend! Not really enough upgrades to warrant trading in an older CC Radio 2 version, but if you were on the fence because of music sound quality and FM performance, no need to be on the fence anymore.
