Sinn U2 Solebox
The diving watch U2 is a professional mission timer which uses genuine German submarine steel, a material with extreme seawater resistance and the highest level of non-magnetic properties. In the movement itself, functional reliability between -45 °C and +80 °C is ensured by the SINN special oil 66-228. And that´s not all: with the diver´s bezel tempered to 1500 Vickers, this diving watch is well-equipped to measure the duration of a dive accurately.
Fogging of the dial poses a safety risk when diving. To prevent this, we use seals made of Viton®. This material, with its extreme chemical resistance and only a quarter of the gas permeability of conventional seals, prevents moisture from diffusing into the diving watch. The slightly domed, 4.2 mm thick scratch-proof anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass with a hardness von 1800 HV withstands even the highest pressures. The case is filled with a protective gas, while three drying capsules keep the interior dry.

Album Preview: Bobby V – ‘Fly on the Wall’
After hearing three seconds of Bobby Valentino’s new single “Phone Number,” it’s apparent his forthcoming album, Fly on the Wall, set for an October 12 release, will transform any location—from a conference room to a car—into a seductive atmosphere. From the moment the singer sets eyes on a curvaceous cutie, Bobby follows through in an effort to get her digits, expose his vampire alter-ego to her, and seduce her in the bedroom.
Though only four songs were played inside EMI Music’s Manhattan offices, the consensus is the tracks—replete with delicate and enticing guitar licks driven by bass-heavy beats—best serve their role in a pimped-out bachelor pad. Bobby V is set to call on Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, and possibly even a duet with Monica to assist his listeners with the perfect tunes to go from hitting the club to hitting the bed sheets.
Rap-Up.com gives an advance rundown of four tracks set to appear on Bobby V’s fourth album.
