Virtual Ideas "Toxic" Linear Time Watch Concept
With linear time indicators that resemble syringes, the "Toxic" watch concept creation by Swiss Virtual Ideas is another neat idea by the watch design firm. Showing time on linear scales means that an indicator moves across a scale and then jumps back once it reaches the end. Look closely and you can see a telescopic arm that moves across the dial with a red strip for the indicator. It moves like a vial filling up or emptying at the arm extends and pushes in the indicator. It would have been cool for it too look like one side of the indicator was filling with a colored liquid. The telescopic arm would be difficult to manufacture but by no means impossible. I like how Virtual Ideas has pushed the envelope of watch engineering limits, but still within the range of possibility. Nevertheless, a watch like this would cost a lot. Recently, I discussed the Urwerk King Cobra watch with a similar liner time concept.The Toxic watch concept features a horizontally long rectangular case with soft

G. Gerlach ORP Orzel 85A Review
When we first mentioned G. Gerlach a couple of years ago it was because it seemed like a neat novelty for a brand to manufacturing watches in Poland. The first watch of theirs we reviewed, the Otago, was cool, but it had a lot of room for improvement. Well, since then we've reviewed the awesome automotive Lux-Sport and the stylish vintage-inspired Navigator. Both showed great improvement from the brand and that they weren't just a novelty. Rather, they quickly established themselves as a serious brand to keep in mind for quality affordable watches. The fact that they make them in Poland, totally bucking industry trends, is just a feather in their cap.Today we're going to look at the ORP Orzel 85A, a spiritual follow up to their first watches, the ORP Dzik and the ORP Sokol. The common thread is that they all celebrate WWII-era Polish military submarines. The Orzel also was at the center of what seems like a movie-worthy escape from an Estonian port where they were held under German ord

In Coming 26574ST "QP"
I've been eying this since announced and FINALLY one is coming home. As you know, very hard to find and wait lists. Again, got lucky and stumbled across this beauty at an AD and I'm THE 1st owner. She's in transit doing the Interstate State shuffle and will be back in my hands on Thursday :)I'm very partial to the blue face as I've had my ROC for about two years and LOVE it. Not sure If the ROC will stay in the family though.The photo doesn't do it justice but, it is a blue face.

WOW!!!!!! (Warning - Heavy Pics)
Continuation from: .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=250689I'm so excited I can't keep my pants on!! Much love to Oscar (BodyBump) who is the personal grey dealer for the normal guy. I've learned so much about horology from Oscar and he always knows what I really want. Not only a man of great style and taste but a gentlemen all the way around. If there is anyone who can provide the best service and would stretch for the extra mile for you it's Oscar. Great job Oscar and thank you so much for searching the skys and seas for my grail.I also want to thank Ken (SteelerFan65) and Thomas (TSW) for helping me understand why the Ti AP RBII watch is so special. And boy is it special!! I didn't know which pics to choose so why not show them all.

Two years for the 126710BLRO
I bought a new BLNR from a very small AD (they may sell a few watches a month) in September 2016 and called about the new 126710BLRO. They told me I was the first to inquire so I'm #1 on the list. However, I was told they probably wouldn't see one in their store for 2-3 years. At least they didn't ask for a deposit
