BRM Timepiece Is Love Letter To Motor Oil

In love with Gulf Racing, the?BRM CNT-44-GULF watch is brimming with oil. Everyone knows that most mechanical watch movements contain oil in them as a necessary part of machine lubrication. So yea, most all watches already have oil inside of them. But not quite like this. For oil magnates and elephants (you oil people know what I am talking about), this is a timepiece that celebrates good ol' black gold with a small container of motor oil right in the dial.

Aside from that, they have a multitude of nice offerings at reasonable prices. Part of this has to d

Bell & Ross Vintage 126 XL Edicion Limitada Watch Has South American Charm

I won't hold it against Bell & Ross that most of their retailers? didn't quite correctly get the Spanish version of "limited edition" here. They got the "limitada" part right, but "edition" in Spanish is "edicion" (which an accent mark over the "c" that I can't seem to figure out how to type). That is ok, because the tenor of this watch is still there. At least it is written correctly on the watch itself. The gold and tobacco tones are just what you need when wearing a fine Swiss watch while smoking a cigar.Why a cigar? Well Bell & Ross thinks that is probably the best activit
