Hands-On: The Zenith Heritage Pilot Cafe Racer, A Pilot��s Watch Inspired By A Biking Subculture
The Heritage Pilot Café Racer is the latest entry in Zenith’s famed collection of pilot watches, and on paper it’s a great addition with its own spin on the genre. But is the connection between 1960s café racing culture and high-flying timekeeping instruments a little too far fetched? And does it matter if it is? 1 OF 4 The new Café Racer has all the redeeming qualities of a classic pilot’s watch, i.e. a lot of oversized features, from its case and Arabic numerals to its onion crown and faceted hands. But this particular pilot's watch is inspired by a wingless machine, ridden not flown, on long ribbons of concrete.The Café Racer was a hybrid motorcycle, and the symbol of a timid movement led by Britain’s thrill-seeking, blue-jean-wearing youth in the '60s. Gathering at cafés – the kind with a liquor license and a jukebox filled with good tunes – they’d race lightweight bikes such as the T

Z-33 opinions
I stopped in at the Omega Boutique in Roseville California this evening and saw a really neat, futuristic looking piece in the window. Being a huge fan of sport watches and owning only divers, I thought I'd wander in to try it on....it turned out to be the Z-33, a titanium cased, battery powered chrono.I loved the style and feel, but the price surprised me a bit: $5,900! What do you guys think of an asking price that high for quartz? Is there any justification other than for the price?

Recommended Boston area (or New Hampshire) authorized dealer?
Hi all,I'm ready to purchase my first Omega and will be going with one of the following:SpeedMaster Broad Arrow GMT (3581.30.00)SeaMaster NZL-32 Chrono (2513.30.00)Any suggestions on authorized dealers in the Boston area you've dealt with? I'm also toying with the idea of purchasing in New Hampshire to save on sales tax.Thanks.

Hawaii trip and watches
Been away from the forums for a bit to get unplugged (if there is such a thing) for a family vacation to Hawaii. Truly enjoyed Hawaii and got to visit Oahu and Maui. Truly beautiful place with stunning scenery everywhere and amazing beaches, which kept me away from the internet for the most part, but of course I had to try and check out some watches while I was there Very happy that I was able to check out some models that aren't available where I live, and the places I visited was more than friendly.So I thought I'd share some of my photos and hope you enjoy. Majority of content is Patek so decided to post it in this sub-forum, but mods, please feel free to move the thread if there is somewhere more appropriate.I was jet lagged when I arrived so what better way to start off the trip than to head out to the beach at dawn?I decided to go with my trusty G-Shock for this trip and it definitely survived everything I threw at it We hiked up Diamond Head and was rewarded with a great view

Rolex daytona WG vs RG???
First off. Hello and happy new year all!Would like you guys opinions please...Ive had my heart set on getting this RG daytona now for years and recently have cone across a time where i can pull the trigger on it. Always wanted a RG daytona on strap, I thought no watch could compare but sometimes when you look at something for so long you almost start finding flaws. Dark dial, cluttered dial etc....i still love it BUT recently i have fallen in love with the WG version...its a completely different look to RG but feel its more under the radar as many that dont know anything will think its just a stainless watch...Need your opinions on the 2 and what one you would choose?
