Historical Perspectives: Just Because: An Original Zenith A386 El Primero Chronograph And The Awesome Striking Tenth, Next To Each Other
The watch on the left is the awesome Zenith El Primero Striking Tenth chronograph, a watch we reviewed in detail here and absolutely loved (sidenote, if you've never seen one of these in action, you have to watch the video here).? The watch at right looks a lot like the 2010 Striking Tenth, doesn't it? It should, because it's the reference from which it was birthed.?You see, the Striking Tenth borrowed its tri-color dial from the original El Primero chronograph from 1969 - reference A386.? This early automatic chronograph (some would say it's the first self-winding chronograph, some would say the first high-beat self-winding chronograph, and others, the first self-winding integrated chronograph) is something of a cult classic, as Zenith themselves say no more than 2000 examples were ever produced.? The tri-color dial of the A386 has since become Zenith's trademark dial configuration, but did you know there is more than just aesthetics behind its design? The story goes that rey was chos

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grey Themes 25721TI

And, providing I'm not breaking any forum rules in asking this, is the price (which they have indicated that they will discount) fair and reasonable?

Forged Carbon Diver back from Clearwater
Hello All!I had the great fortune of acquiring my Forged Carbon Diver from one of our trusted dealers on TRF in late March, and if you saw it in person I think you'd agree with me that it is a fantastic look piece, quite different from most Offshores in a number of ways. Already in the short amount of time I've had it, we've already had some adventures together, but unfortunately it had to take a solo trip to APSC in Clearwater as well. At first I thought I was going crazy...perhaps I wave my hands/fist pump too frantically at concerts I wore it to or whatnot, but I noticed that my Diver kept gaining time. Sometimes a minute or two overnight. (I always sync my watches to the clock inside my iPhone to see how accurately they keep time)Although it was a new watch, I was a little cautious and sent it over to Betsy at APSC. Although they told me that it would take a little over a month to service, lo and behold, like my last Diver I had serviced (my Steel had to get a crown replacement) th

How tight do you guys wear your watches?
I'm curious as to how everyone here prefers to wear their watches. Do you guys wear it skin tight so that it does not move at all, or do you guys leave a half link worth of room for some breathing space?
