Maratac Mid Sized Pilot: Hands-On
Right around the time that Blake reviewed the Maratac Pilot, County Comm quietly released a second, smaller model. Dubbed the Maratac Mid Sized Pilot this 39mm version is the same in almost every way, it's just smaller. It has the same Miyota 8245 automatic movement with small seconds, the same domed sapphire crystal, the same dial design and the same cool-little onion crown tucked away at about 4 o'clock.?Ultimately, the qualities and aesthetic of the original Maratac Pilot have been successfully translated to the smaller sized body. In fact, since the Mid has a smaller diameter, but the same thickness, the overall stout build had an almost sportier and more aggressive look than the large sized.Case: Brushed stainless steelMovement: Miyota 8245 21 jewel automatic movementLuminous: Super Luminova C3Lens: Domed sapphire glassCase Back: Screw-downStrap: Maratac Brand Mil-series nylonWater Res.: 100 MDimensions: 39 mmThickness: 12.5 mmLug Width: 20 mmCrown: Screw down oversized onionWarra

AT "Teak" Dial Similar to Old Datejust?
Ran across this photo of an old datejust with a vertical striped dial. Actually I really like it and it is somewhat reminiscent of the Omega AT with the teak vertical dial. The AT will probably be my next purchase, BTW. Love this watch and miss my 2500 series AT.

Help with the new PO Chrono
Can anyone tell me whether the date function on the PO Chrono has a quickset feature or do you have to keep spinning the hands around. Thank you in advance. Best, Beaumont.

5270G Discontinued....?
Not sure if it is true or a sales pitch, but one of my dealers just informed me that Patek told them the 5270G is discontinued, though apparently they are getting one last one.

A nice walk in the park
and couldn't resist from taking this photo of my lovely 5127R. I have several nice watches in my collection but this one has not left the wrist for quite some time now. Sorry for boring you out.
