On all-new 27 inch iMac
Only $1655!!!

I recently wrote a super-detailed review of Apple's all-new 27inch iMac which is by far and away the best computer you can buy today. I have some great news if you want to save a lot of money on the all-new 27inch iMac.

You can get one delivered to your front door for only $1655 which includes free shipping and they don't charge sales tax. All you have to do to get this brilliant new machine for $1655n is click on the photo of the iMac below with the Ferrari on the screen.

How much of a real savings is this? If you go to an Apple store and buy this exact same machine by the time you get out the door, you will have spent around $1850 out the door, thus you save around $200 for the EXACT same thing.





Also as a holiday gift, you can watch the MacHeads Documentary below about the history of Apple. This movie is free to watch and pretty funny and fascinating.

Rolex Wrist Shot of the Day Winter Has Arrived


Rolex Wrist Shot of the Day
Winter Has Arrived
LV Rolex Submariner

Christiaan took this great winter wrist-shot of his 50th Anniversary LV Submariner. For some reason, Rolex watches always have seemed to impervious to the elements–like a small vault.

On a side note, I was recently having a conversation with Dion from Magrette Watches which is based in New Zealand and he pointed out the fact that it is currently summer in New Zealand. I mentioned how I recently was tripping on the fact that in the Southern Hemisphere is is currently summer and how it seemed bizarre that Christmas occurs in the middle of summer!?!

This of course is because I have only ever lived in the Northern Hemisphere, which just perhaps goes to show there is a flip-side to every coin ;-)))

Introducing The Lexus LFA Supercar...


Introducing
The Lexus LFA Supercar
A Super-Car Is Born

Lexus, which is owned by Toyota, completely changed the rules of the game in the luxury car business when the first introduced their LS 400 in 1989. The original LS 400 completely rocked the auto-world and caused German brands like Mercedes and BMW to completely re-evaluate everything.


Five years ago, Lexus decided to develop a new super-sport-car and they named is the LFA. Several weeks ago, Lexus finally started selling LFA models and they are only making 500 per year, of which 150 are destined for the U.S. and only 10 for Canada.


The Lexus LFA Supercar is priced at 320,000 Euros which is around a $500,000. The LFA is a mind-boggling piece of engineering that pushes the technology envelope as it has never been pushed before.


The Lexus LFA uses state of the art components including a great deal of carbon-fiber to increase structural integrity while shedding substantial weight. The most interesting characteristic of the LFA in my mind is that it has this crazy performance, but is highly dependable and comfortable like a standard Lexus.


These next two photos of the matte-black Lexus LFA appear courtesy of The-Perfect-Exposure.blogspot.com. The lines of this car remind me of the original Toyota Celica Supra that came out in the early eighties.


The Lexus LFA has a front-engine design and is made to compete with the Mercedes SLC Gullwing and the Ferrari 599 GTB and Enzo Ferrari, as well as the Mclaren F1. The Lexus LFA sports a 4.8 Liter V10 Engine that puts out 552 Horse Power and it is also equipped with ceramic brakes!!!


Turn Your Volume Way Up!!!!!

I highly recommend watching all these videos which will blow your mind!!!!! This first video from Jay Leno's Garage features Justin Bell who is a race-car driver and the son of Derek Bell.

Introducing The Magrette Taniwha


Introducing
The Magrette Taniwha
Hand-Engraved Limited-Edition Gold-Inlay Masterpiece

What else can I say!?! Dion from Magrette has surprised, if not shocked us again with another hand-engraved, magnificent masterpiece–this time, named the Magrette Taniwha!!!

Back in September I completed a detailed review named The Magrette Story, which I highly recommend checking out if you missed it.

In the watch world today, I do not see much new design that impresses me, but Magrette blows my mind!!! Dion's Magrette designs are so unusual in the best way possible. His watches are extremely well designed and instant classics.

Magrette recently introduced another extremely limited Limited Edition of hand-engreaved watch named The Taniwha. Taniwha is not only hand-engraved, but also has Gold inlayed into the Steel.


This all-new limited-edition beauty is only $5985 which is extremely reasonable if you think about it. If you purchase one of these stunning hand-engraved masterpieces you will be one of only 5 people on planet-earth who wears this watch.


Magrette says of the process of inlaying Gold into Steel:

"Inlaying precious metal like gold into a harder host metal is a process that has not changed for centuries. The techniques that the old masters used are exactly the same today and even the style of tools hasn’t changed. What has changed is the host metals have got a lot harder so the tools are also made of stronger materials.

Not to be confused with gold plating which is a micro-thin layer of gold plated onto the surface of the metal, gold inlay is actually set and bonded into the host metal and is quite thick. For the Taniwha watch 0.5mm 24 Karat gold wire was used."
