Rolex Runs in the Family

 Someday it will be passed down to my sister, andshe will likely get many years of use out of it, as well.So as you can see, I come by my Rolex fetish honestly. And I love the fact that the time zone adjustsautomatically. Iknow Internet Time makes time zones obsolete, but until the rest of the worldis ready to do away with them, it's nice to have a watch that makes themeasier to deal with.Customizable watch faces. I actually find myself usingdifferent faces in different circumstances. When I'm traveling, the facethat displays two analogue faces side-by-side with the time from two differenttime zones (the Paparazzi typically sets the default time zone automatically,but allows you to configure a secondary time zone) is perfect. If I'mdoing something more active and need to be able to see the time at a quickglance, I'll opt for face with large digital numbers.MSN Direct.  Inother words, I would like to have the option of using any watch face evercreated for any MSN Direct watch. And the ultimate feature would be the abilityto create my own.No vibrating alarm. I know, I'm supposed to purchasethe Tissot High T if I want a vibrating alarm, but even my old Timex Messengerhad a very effective silent mode. Vibrating alarms make more sense onwatches than cell phones (at least in the sense that the vibration is easierto detect), but it's a very rare feature on watches. I would love to beable to put my Paparazzi into silent mode during meetings and movies.The band.
