M��hle-Glash��tte Terrasport I Beobachter Watch
For a long time, I didn't know how I felt about pilot's watches. For years, I found myself underwhelmed whenever another in a seemingly endless queue of "me too" models hit the market. Every brand was at it, and I couldn't figure out why. Then, quite by accident, I ended up with one on my wrist, and I finally got it. What followed was an irrational interest in the unusually large,?plain cases, enormous emergency pushers, proud onion crowns, and the bold dials that can be read from a block away (at night). The M��hle-Glash��tte Terrasport I Beobachter is not the easiest pilot's watch to read, but its integer-heavy display gives it an identifiability other more generic layouts sometimes lack. This watch is a simple three-hander with a centrally-mounted seconds hand. The slenderness of the red-tipped seconds hand is perfectly designed to precisely indicate the passing time, and makes best use of the ubiquitous line markers on the dial.There is a tendency amongst pilot's watches to go for a

Rolex sports models that wear thinner?
So my only Rolex pieces in my collection currently are a 1675 and a 1625. For a while now I have been thinking the 16570 would make a perfect versatile sports watch for me, smaller than the too big for my wrist (~6) 216570 but new enough to wear as an actual sports watch (most of my collection are vintage and on leather so require care and an avoidance of water).At a xmas party this past weekend I ran into a fella with a 16570 on the wrist, he also probably had a sub 6.5 wrist and I noticed the watch wore huge on his wrist, the bezel and crystal seemed to dome up dramatically similar to the look I found when trying on the Milgauss. I didn't ask to try it on and still haven't had one on my wrist but it made me think that perhaps I should be seeking a slimmer model.I find my 1675 and 1625 do not have an obtrusive thickness, with some reading around it sounds like their thickness is ~11-11.5. Which I wouldn't think would be a noticeable difference from the supposed 12.2mm thickness of the
