Watches and F1: The Heuer Jacky Ickx Easy-Rider
editor's note: I'm excited today to bring you the first article by a new contributor to worn&wound, Sean Lorentzen. Sean's a young writer with a love of watches and all things car related, whose work has been featured on the prominent car enthusiasts blog, Petrolicious. This article is actually the first in a series that combines his passions, looking at lesser known F1 inspired watches and the people that inspired them. Enjoy!I am a man of two great passions. In the past several years, I've been captivated by the watch world, especially the vintage side. Within a few short years of my life, I've gone from a complete watch illiterate whose only experience with horology was a Timex Ironman I had when I was nine, to the type of guy who spends hours each day trolling forums and drooling over everything from mid-60s Breitling Navitimers to Wittnauer super compressors to funky old Squale designs (It can change on a day-to-day basis, something I'm sure many of you are familiar with).I go

Is the 1200m Ploprof wearable...
on 6.5 inch wrists ? I tried it on once (was wearing my behemoth OS 300m diver on the day) at my AD and though it was heavy it definitely was not too large lug to lug or so...it's thick though .I have had my share of large watches, however have preferred 40-42mm lately. This might be changing slightly again...as in these last few weeks I've been considering the SBDB001 600m Seiko (large motha***). Normally I am a bit impulsive and am actually quite amazed at myself that I didn't order a new SBDB001 from Japan yet !However I would like to consider all alternatives and also wait for Basel (I'll do my best ....) as I'd like to see the new releases from Seiko, Omega and Rolex.So what can you tell me about the ploprof? Is it wearable on my 6.5inch wrists...also what would the weight on isofrane (head only) be please? Please give me your opinions regarding the watch and post many pics if you have them !

Omega GMT Co-Axial Seamaster... opinions and pics?
I have always been drawn to the GMT Co-Axial. The build, size, bracelet and the see through back. How many owners out there and what are your impressions? Did you have any issues with the co-axial being accurate or running well? How heavy does it feel on the wrist?Pics too please!

Patek rotor noise question....
Hello all here at TRF! I have a question for all the Patek owners out there. I recently purchased a Calatrava 5127 and absolutely love the piece. It keep amazing time (+1 second per day!) and looks great on the wrist. However, I've noticed that I hear the rotor quite a bit when my wrist moves. Obviously that's the winding mechanism in action....I'm just surprised how much I can hear it compared to my AP, Rolex, Lange and other automatic pieces.So my question to all of you is.....is this normal? I could take it in and have it looked at, but I'm guessing one of you experts here on TRF will be able to tell me if that is just a characteristic of PP, or something I need to be concerned about.Thanks in advance!
