King of bling?

Ric McLaughlin Wednesday, Sep 3, 2008 4.00pm

A week or so a go I got on the blower trying to hustle up some tasty 'autumnal' coloured kit for next months Stuff section.

I gave it a few days then look what turned up stuffed in a trainer from the good people at Coffin On Cake PR...

The Vestal Zeppelin may as well be made out of lead as it weighs in at a wrist breaking 225g but come on, look at it!

It's got a chronograph movement and is water resistant to 100m but lets face it, go swimming with this bad boy on and your sinking!

Vestal are a sort of surf/skate/music conglomerative specialising in watches and soft goods. Their site is full of some top notch kit along with super-neat watches and we reckon you could be seeing a lot more of them...
