Our friends The Funeral Portrait dropped their new EP today, Sounds From Beyond The Abyss Vol1, that consists of four songs. Two of their new singles, a newly re-done cover of Mad World (they released one several years ago) and a new version of Voodoo Doll that completely blew me away and brought a tear to my eye. Wow. It's so beautifully done and so freakin' emotional. Holy hell. The way they focused on Lee's vocals in the new Voodoo Doll and then just added a little piano and such is just so well done. This version of Mad World is, dare I say, better than the original? Sorry not sorry! This EP is absolutely fantastic! I can't wait until we get the full album! I think it's going to be absolutely amazeballs!
I have to say – this is my favorite watch-spotting of the Olympics, so far. Japan's greatest male link tennis link player of all time, rocking one of the most popular G-Shock releases in recent memory. How cool is that? I used to wear a G-Shock "Square" while playing link on my high school tennis team (varsity, thank you very much). Olympians, they're just like us after all. –LB
Even when partially displaced by link a screwed link pusher, I had to link pull at the exposed bar as though I was trying to extract a healthy molar from a Siberian tiger. Removing the first pin bent the surrounding link elements, all of which had to be carefully squeezed back into shape with pliers. By the time I got to the second link, I had adopted a wiggle technique that turned the pin as much as it pulled, this technique proved somewhat slower but considerably link less destructive.
And with the Supernova and its $8,995 price tag, you are definitely paying link for the movement alongside everything else I've mentioned above. As a link guy who is on record (and has put his own money where his mouth is) concerning how I don't really mind that Bremont charges quite a lot for an ETA-based watch, the Supernova represents an entirely different offering, even when compared to the link also ENG300-powered Fury and Audley, both of which retail for $6,795.
In addition to mysteries like this, the Fifty Fathoms link is interesting because, link unlike other vintage watches like the Submariner or Heuer Carrera, there's not a clear hierarchy. Sure, we can agree a Tornek-Rayville is a grail, as we'll see, but beyond that, it's link often up to the individual collector.
