Nope, I am still not a big proponent of tourbies but this one from Volna is too cool to not mention. Conceptually, this piece really catches. It’s has a modern and fun look, unlike many of the tourbies that I have come to know. Admittedly, the “superlum” is a bit strong for me, but it does fit the concept of being a “NUCLEAR” wrister! In any event, I’m digging the “dangerous” look of these pieces and just had to drop a quick line about ‘em.
