Introducing: The New Limited Edition Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor In Platinum With Enamel Dial
The Galet Micro-Rotor is, without any debate, one of the finest time-only watches in the world. The finishing, which we compared in a show-down of giants against the Seiko Eichi II and Philippe Dufour Simplicity, is really just a small piece of what makes this self-winding watch so special. The case work, the natural escapement, and the stunning bridge that holds the rotor all add up to one of the most visually appealing high-end watches in the world, even more so when you take the time to study each attribute with a loupe. This movement is absolutely architectural, and now, Laurent Ferrier has taken things to the next level – think platinum case, and grand feu enamel dial. 1 OF 3 Enamel is not new for Laurent Ferrier, but it is on the Galet Micro-Rotor, having existed only on the Galet Traveller and Tourbillon previously. Below you can see one of the enamel tourbillons on my wrist, with a case of 41 mm and stunning milky white dial. 2 OF 3 Laurent Ferri

Explorer II 16570 vs. DateJust Turn-O-Graph 116264
Shopping for my first Rolex and initially these two models weren't even on my radar, I'd been really focused on a vintage 1601/1603 for that classic look. However, the more I've researched and thought about it I'm finding that either of these could be a really great starter piece that I'd probably get more use out of. Considering I'm a youngish guy (mid-30's) I've had multiple people say that a sportier look would be better on me and easier to dress up or down.The 16570 seems to be much more common and appreciated and I like its more toned down look. Meanwhile the 116264 had a more limited production and doesn't get discussed much, but there's something about the sport bezel on the TOG dial with red date wheel and sec hand that gives it a best of both worlds quality that's really appealing. I've also heard the 16570 will likely hold its value better while the 116264 may not since people seem to have a love/hate reaction to it.I could easily flip a coin and be happy with either, but
