Lew & Huey Riccardo Review
Not too long ago, we introduced you to the Lew & Huey Riccardo. At that point, the brand was trying to raise money via kickstarter to get the watch off the ground, which clearly was successful. Chris Vail, the brand's founder, did an excellent job of building community support via WUS and various blog posts, creating a following before the watches were ever even made. Now, the Riccardo is practically sold out and people are awaiting his next watches, the Acionna and Spectre.There were a few very exciting things about the Riccardo, so we were quite happy to have the chance to give it a review. To start, it's an automatic chronograph that costs $550 thanks to the Seagull ST1940 movement inside. We love it when brands takes risks, and in the Swiss and Japanese movement dominated watch-o-sphere, using a Chinese made chronograph is a bit of bold move, especially for a first watch. But, it's a very cool movement and one of, if not the most, affordable way to make a new mechanical chronog

How old were you when you got your first Patek?
So ... How old were you when you got your first Patek?I have been saving for a Patek, I am 35, want a 5726/1A-001 - but looks like that watch is about 9 years away for me - with real life in the way, I cannot dedicate too much towards my watch fund right now - with a new house last year and new baby on the way, got to prioritize those over the Patek Fund Just wondering when people get their Patek's - how old were you and what watch was it??Need some motivation that it will be worth it!!

This watch is on my grail list but it is impossible to find. I know one of us here has one but how hard is it to get and what is the process?

Thinking of Platinum YM or Polar Exp2
It's funny how some watches can just get stuck in your mind for no reason. I spent all last night searching Instagram for the Platinum 1/16622. The Rhodium grey caught my eye when it first came out but handling the 37mm version in a boutique let me down a bit. The dial is hard to read under bright boutique spotlights. I guess the whole Platinum part got me. To a non-watch guy it would just look like steel and being the non-hot model makes it appeal more. Come to think of it I don't think I've ran into a Pt in the wild. It's monotone, plain but there's an easter egg.In terms of not-so-hot model comes the 16570 polar. The polar has a GMT but not exactly; with the scarcity of Alum bezel GMT's the 16570 has started to fill the demand hence prices creeping up.With both 16622 and 16570 the main drawback is the bracelet. 116622 comes with the newer bracelet but will come with added premium. From discussions here I also read that the 5 and 6 digit dials differ ever so slightly?Another possible
