Autodromo Prototipo Watches: Modern With Retro Racing Style
The tie between wristwatches and automobiles has been well established on these pages. Often times, when a brand releases a "car" watch, it can be a somewhat tenuous tie, or it's just for a single model. With the folks over at Autodromo, however, cars are simply a way of life, and it informs each and every watch they create.Their latest models, the Prototipo and Prototipo Vic Elford, pay homage to auto racing of the 60's and 70's. This was a time when watches were truly a tool used in the cockpit of the car, allowing the driver to time laps with ease. This is done in much different ways these days of course, but that heritage lives on in this new line.For this lineup, Autodromo focused in on the Prototype Era of endurance racing (prototipo is Italian for prototype). To start with, this informed the case shape. The 42mm stainless steel case has smoothed out curves (and integrated lugs), which is intended to call to mind the curved bodies of the cars that were on the racetrack in the 196

Is this 18038 DD's dial legit?
Hey guys, I found a good deal on a 18038 that I'm considering buying even though I already have a 118238. The seller sent me a couple of pictures and the bracelet is in good condition for being an old watch. My only is concern is the dial. I don't think factory diamond dials came with the Roman numeral track, but with lume plots instead. From what I've seen the Roman numeral track belongs to stick dials. I've looked at so many watches that I tend to notice when something is off but I know some of you can tell right away. What do you think? Worth it or pass?https://ibb.co/jvBgEb
