How ugly is this?

What a shock, huh?

The lume is beautiful but doesn't last any longer than several of my other superlumed watches.

Very nice....I've been reading up on these....interesting that it's made in Poland.

Yep. Here's some more info about the G.Gerlach foundation:

G.Gerlach - About the foundation

The idea of a foundation was born during some long conversations about the Polish industry, design and products.

We realised, that even though many products are produced in Poland, very few of those products were invented and designed in our country. Poland is one of the largest manufacturers of cars in Europe – so what if all of those cars were designed abroad.They’re just made in Poland. The same goes for airplanes, fridges, TVs and many more items.

Poland has one of the lowest factors of money spent on research and development in relation to a single citizen or the GDP. Our economy is not innovative – its just reproductive.

What’s happening with young inventors and engineers? Supposedly, we are so creative. Where are those ideas? Is it easy to develop a new, innovative idea nowadays? How can we help the Polish engineers and designers get recognition for their work?

And most importantly – the promotion of a country is most effective by associating products with the given country. The more innovative, advanced, good looking the product is, the stronger the association with the country it was made in. Ikea, Lego, Nokia, Mercedes-Benz, Sony – those keywords describe not only companies, but also the countries of their origin.

This is how the idea of creating a foundation was born. An institution,which will help to promote the Polish technical innovation and help Polish designs come to life. We want to show that both in Poland and abroad, products with the proud „Made in Poland†are of the highest quality and we can be proud of them.

We also want to support Polish engineers, technicians, specialists in design and ergonomy and help them put their ideas into production.

We chose our patron to be a Polish industrialist, who has produced measuring equipment and manometers of highest quality in his factory. You can read more about him in the „Our Patron†tab.

This is how G.Gerlach Fundacja Rozwoju Polskiej My?li Technicznej i Mechaniki Precyzyjnej was created.

Pamsday's Choice: No Seikos, Heh!!

It's Pamsday, so that means NO SEIKOS tonight (of course, Seiko Week ended last night). For today & tonight, my fav. Pam -- the 005, I believe (Pamsters, step in if I'm wrong). Just love it; PLUS, these watches are so easy for these 'ole eyes to read. dave:

Only one (1) pic tonight; having trouble w/ Photobucket.

WOW!!! THAT'S a very beautiful but different shad of blue on your Daytona, S. Is that the "official" color of the 50th Anniversary edition? Still, it's an eye-catcher. Beautiful portrait, of course.

Already asked for another one to our TD, Mr. President. Must be arriving next week or in 2 weeks at maximum as I was told.

Let´s have a look there tomorrow, but I strongly advise to have a look at S25 first, to see if we can find it at better prices. This one was expensive for an a21j.

I´m glad you liked it! Looks really good on the wrist, really unusual! Ice blue faces really do an amazing job on any watch!

It´s an eye-catcher ain´t it, Dave?! :cheers: I loved it too! I was a little bit skeptical when I saw the press release pics on basel, but after some time "digesting" it, I thought it was cool, and went after it.

The color is indeed the official, only one for the Platinum Daytona, and I must say it´s pretty close to GEN. The Ice blue really changes its hue according to light, and can acquire that stronger shade or a very light one, just like the GEN. the factory of this really nailed it. Dibs to that.
The ceramic bezel in other hand.... the color is fantastic and also super accurate to GEN, but the numbers on it are too squared. Could have been done with a little more rounded borders.

Other than that, the watch is fantastic on the wrist, and looks as it should, just doesn´t feel like a 75k watch.. :D:

I´m gonna take some more pics of it in different light conditions to show how the IceBlue dial shade changes...You will be amazed :)

Cheers,
Spirit.
