Up for sale here is the limited edition #FR2 and Franck Muller project, the Fxxking Rabbits edition! Ref. V41SCDT FR2 GFGRNR NR

Not too sure what to write about this watch- it basically sells itself! Good contrast with the white nylon canvas strap against the black carbon composite case; a better look than most white/black watches ever can pull off.

Best size in the tonneau shape at 41mm, and with the lightweight material feels great on the wrist!

Comes as a full set with all the…

Up for sale is the coolest new Omega Moonwatch, with the white dial! Ref. 310.30.42.50.04.001

Since basically every watch out there comes with different dial colors, you'd think the choice of white or black on a Moonwatch wouldn't be a big deal. But for some reason- this white dial looks SO GOOD!

It's a bright, vivid white, giving a huge amount of contrast against the black accents and bezel.

Has only a few tiny marks on the clasp, caseback, and top right lug as seen on the Pic. No…

While Zenith is well known for their high beat movements across the El Primero line of chronographs, what’s very cool about this timepiece is that the running seconds hand counts up to 10 seconds instead of 1 minute!

The integrated bracelet can easily be disconnected from the case via the quick change system…

But what really sets this timepiece apart is that the bezel is made from steel raised from the R.M.S Titanic itself. That’s right- actual steel from the famous ship was used in the manufacture of this timepiece.
