Looking for an Omega Watch like Christian Grey's?

In 50 Shades of Grey Ana takes notice of Christian's elegant Omega wristwatch. Although she does not give specifics on the model, she gives enough information for watch enthusiasts to speculate as to which model Omega watch the fictional character favors.

After scouring watch collectors message boards, the verdict seems to be the Omega Men's 3570.50.00 Speedmaster Professional Mechanical Chronograph Watch below. It has a sporty style with 3 subdials and a slim profile which works well under shirt cuffs and suit jackets.

I love the look of this watch, and my own husband who has been eying Omegas for years agreed that this might be the best looking, most versatile one for a man who has to get dressed for work but still wants a sporty but elegant watch. I'll put it on his wish list for the holidays this year, as long as he puts this one on his list for me. It's not the solid platinum watch that EL James describes in her book (and watch enthusiasts claim does not exist), but it will do! I think Omega watches may experience a lift this holiday season.

Bared to You by Sylvia Day: The Next 50 Shades?

I've got my next book queued up - Bared to You by Sylvia Day.

From what I hear, it is the next 50 Shades of Grey. The steamy story of two abuse survivors forging a romantic (and of course, sexual) relationship - this single volume story has potential to morph into a full blown series a la 50 Shade.

The fact that this book already has 988 customer reviews on Amazon.com and 4 out of 5 stars looks promising. I can't wait to get my copy. Get yours here, and let me know if you have read it and what you think.
