Autodromo Watches Hands-On
For some of you, particularly the gearheads in the crowd, Autodromo is a young brand that stirs up a lot of excitement.??A self-described "driving-oriented design brand," Autodromo recently burst on to the watch scene with a line of 60's Italian sports car inspired timepieces,?carried out with an acute eye to detail and clear appreciation for superior craftsmanship.??Each of the Autodromo timepieces are designed from the ground up, with no stock parts from the strap to the case to the dial. ?We recently had the good fortune to meet up with Bradley Price, Autodromo's founder, and talk to him about his passion for watches and of course, cars.??Oh, and he was kind enough to lend worn&wound his complete line of watches, the results of which can be seen below via an extensive photo gallery and epic video overview.Based in New York City, Bradley Price is a man with a vision, and the wherewithal to bring that vision to life.??One day, inspired while driving in his Alfa Romeo, the concept

Introducing the Mondaine Stop2Go
If you've ever traveled around by train in Switzerland, you've relied on the Swiss Railway clocks at every station, with their distinct red seconds hand and easy to read layout. Originally designed in 1944 by Hans Hilfiker, the bold, geometric design that speaks to the Bauhaus philosophy has become iconic and a symbol of accuracy. In the over 60 years since, the design has remained, as its vocabulary of modern forms is as relevant today as it originally was.Of course, you don't actually have to travel to Switzerland to see these timepieces in action, but rather take a trip to your local museum shop. Starting in 1986, Mondaine began producing the Official Swiss Railway (SBB) watches, which replicated the original Hilfiker design. Certainly more familiar to those of us in the states, the Mondaine watches are simple, legible and classic. In the nearly 30 years since their creation, there have been many versions and variations on the design, from mechanical varieties to phantom palettes, b

T Serial 16570 Back From RSC
Started this process back in February. So took about 2 months door to door. Generally use a good friend who is a CW21 for any watch servicing, but decided to send the Exp II in for a full RSC treatment. Mainly because I wanted to order a new bracelet for it. Ended up doing a full service + new crystal, bezel, crown and bracelet. Even though she has lug holes, I went with the SEL 78790A bracelet which fits perfectly. In the end the RSC bill was about what I paid for the watch initially. She is a T serial from 1996 ish and had never had the caseback off. This is actually the first Rolex I have ever had that stopped running. I guess 20+ years of performance without a service is actually quite remarkable and speaks to Rolex toughness. Basically looks like a brand new watch IMO. Glad to have her back in the rotation and have nothing but positive things to say about RSC Dallas. Some crappy phone pics, but hopefully shows the nice work RSC performed.

Datejust with ice blue or glacial dial? Aftermarket or original?
Was wondering if some of the Rolex experts could help me out on this. I know these dials typically come on platinum and day date models. I have seen some online on datejusts, typically with diamonds, but I think they are aftermarket non factory dials. So my question is:Did Rolex ever release a datejust with a factory pale blue or glacial or ice blue dial (without the flashy diamonds)? If so is there a reference number or year I can use to help me source one? Preferably with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet in 36mm? Thank you in advance.

Submariner or Yachtmaster?
Hey everyone! After getting my Datejust II 116300 and GMT Master Coke 16170, I am planning my next piece.I am really digging the look/features of the Yachtmaster (not the Yachtmaster II, as it's out of my price range), but I also crave the Submariner. I love the look of the YM1 (Silver on silver version, but the blue looks amazing too), polished center links, dressy or casual����. but also, how can anyone not love a good clean sub (date). The sub is obviously a must in anyones collection I feel, but just unsure which one to plan for. I plan on trying them both on, if I can find an AD that has them both. I bought my DJ2 brand new and obviously my GMT Coke used, but in amazing condition����..so I am more than likely going pre owned at this point.For those that have both��.which one do you prefer? Anyone else, please weight in!Thanks!
