Hajime Asaoka Project T Tourbillon Indepedent Japanese Watch
High-end, independent, and self-taught Japanese watchmaker Hajime Asaoka presents his second watch, the Project T Tourbillon - and it is beautiful. We introduced Hajime Asaoka back in 2011 when he released his first Tourbillon watch. The Hajime Asaoka Project T continues where he left off the with first tourbillon, further extending his cool and masculine art deco sense of style.Interestingly enough, the Hajime Asaoka Project T Tourbillon watch is a collaboration project between Hajime Asaoka and two other companies. Is this watch for charity, or with a sports team, or is there some other type of lifestyle connection? No such BS in the world of Hajime Asaoka - for the Hajime Asaoka Project T watch he worked with two tooling and milling companies! One is the OSG Corporation that makes precision cutting tools, and the second is Yuki, a major company that produces precision machining equipment. Of course each helped with the production of the watch.When you are a small independent watchma

Moving towards a Patek-input needed
I have been a lurker/ intermittent commenter here for a many months. I am getting pretty close to becoming a Patek owner and am looking for assistance on how the models I am contemplating will fit into my new lifestyle- and my current watches.Please consider the following:I am 50. I work in a business casual environment-own a tech consulting company. I wear a suit from time to time, and wear shorts/jeans on Fridays-but wear dress slacks and dress shirt 3-4x per week. I am hoping to travel more extensively over the next few years for pleasure.My short list of Pateks is below:5270-classic, love them but on the edge of my watch budget-probably out5164-world time travel-pretty cool casual5712-could replace my SD4K as a daily for work+Below is a picture of my current stable of watches. These need to be paired down ASAP. Not for cost really, I just don't wear many of them.Any advice comments are welcome. Thanks,

Incoming 5960 (almost!)
I saw a 5960/1A review when it was announced and I knew I immediately liked it. Well, then the enabling pics happened (thanks mikeceee, jenniferjanef and raclaims), and I knew it was time to try one on. I did so on Friday and I pulled the trigger today. For me, someone who likes exclusively sportier watches, it's perfect (also have a 5167). I just wish PP made more sportier watches....or wait, maybe I don't :)I'll post the gratuitous pics when I get it in a couple of days, but I know you'd appreciate my excitement. I learn a ton from this site -- the knowledge I receive from here beats anywhere else by far -- we're all pretty lucky. Thanks to all!

Rolex makes a darn comfortable/ergonomic watch, too
Among all the other good attributes. I've been wearing my 16610 nonstop for about a month, and decided to rotate it out. I will not name the brand/model to avoid a flame war. I will say it's also a watch that's quite popular for daily wear. And yet within just hours I miss the 16610. The bracelet digs in a bit more, the evenness of the weight just doesn't seem quite there. It is noticeably more uncomfortable. I'm sure I'd get used to it after wearing it a couple of days (I always do), but I always get struck by this whenever I rotate in another metal band watch.

The wife gave me the ok on the SS GMT Pepsi...but
I spoke to my wife today and I told her the new SS GMT Pepsi would be my last watch for at least 10 years (lol), and she was ok with it, however...what's your guess on the wait time? I called my authorized dealer yesterday and they were only taking interest calls and would call me back once they had more information.
