NUBEO Jellyfish in real life tough, dirty, and everything..3 months daily wear
Jul 04 2008,11:08 AM
These pictures were taken about 10 mins ago, and up loaded by wireless internet.
Breakfast. Oily hawker center, food crumbs, table top with dirt.. natural light, no tripod, no cleaning, no photoshop. The watch...I have worn this EVERYDAY for about 5 to 10 hours a day. Few days off...less than 10 days off the wrist. I switch watches with the Nubeo after lunch each day. Two watches worn at all times. Today, a Panerai Subenersible C series Titanium. The Nubeo is more than a match for the Panerai. It takes the scratches and bumps and possible dents mUCH better due to the rubber and resin type inserts and bezel. They use resins, not rubber, the wear resistance is very high. Cleaning dust off is easy..use soap and water. The Panerai I had..it dents and scratches much more easily. But it also costs half the price of a Nubeo.
I would highly recomend the black version of this watch without the camo colors. I have too many watches, so I chose one with camo. The case is an incredible constrct of parts..why??? It is to maximise wearer comfort. with the complex curves in 3 planes..there was no choice, if quality of case edges and lines were to be preserved..ie in my view, I cannot accept poor edges and finish on a case. For a watch of this price..ie Patek Aquanaut price..it MUST have superb finish. The Nubeo delivers 100%!!!
It works..100%. It takes alot of courage to buy this over a Patek or say a Hublot. these watches are very rare, and also damned well made!!! They are the ultimate conversation pieces at this price. Go one step higher..and it reaches the GEFICA..see Tony P's post on Genta. Here are the real life pics of what I was doin while these pics of the Nubeo were taken..just to add in the "reality" factor.
Here is what the case is made of. Note that the 7750 movement inside still has the chrono parts!!! Cool!!
