Autodromo Group B Review
When people discuss the great eras of watch making, the 80's don't often come up. It was a time when quartz had leveled the industry, inexpensive pieces flooded in and digital was emerging. Nor do the 80's come up when people speak of great style and fashion, plagued by fluorescent colors, padded shoulders and oddly baggy shirts. But when people discuss Rally car racing, it's a different story altogether.With Autodromo's new line of watches they drew upon the distinctly 80's era of rally car racing known as Group B. As Sean pointed out when we first announced the watches, Group B was a notoriously brutal and dangerous. Cars were light and had monstrous amounts of power. It was an era that fostered a lot of technological innovation in the sport, but resulted in too many accidents as well as a few deaths, ending after 4 years. Many consider it the "golden age" of rally car racing.As with previous lines of Autodromo watches, the design found its inspiration in those beastly machines, draw

New to watch collecting and need some buying advise
So I say I'm new to watch collecting because I never thought of it as collecting. Recently my teenager started getting into watches and he realized while I don't actually wear a watch all that often I happen to have a few from back in my going to an office daily days. So I took out the old watches and with some googling how some were still in style while others never became classics like my tricolor gold Rolex (yes it was tacky when I got it but weren't we all). I sold most of them and only kept the ones with sentimental value. Here is where I get to needing advise. I want to start wearing a watch again on a daily basis. So I want to get a new or slightly pre-owned one. I'm thinking of an PP aquanaut or AP Royal Oak. I have excluded wearing a PP Nautilus on a daily basis, too fragile and scratchable. I know I'm in the AP forum here, but I figure the PP one will always say buy a PP. One more thing, my son says I should just buy a new Blue Milgauss with green tint since I'm always

Well, The first cut"scratch" is the deepest...
I made it a whopping two weeks without any bumps or nicks, but tonight my new 5167 met the kitchen counter lol Luckily, I really have to hold it at the right angle to see it, but sad to see the new charm is wearing off. On, the other hand i know with my Daytona it builds Character. When ever i see the nicks and scratches it bring my back memories. How do you guys/girls keep your sanity when it comes to scratching? Or keep your watches so pristine?
