This auction offered a great number of items that are interesting for various reasons: antique clocks, dress watches, and some sporty models. Let's take a look at a few of the pieces available.After flipping through the list one of the first to catch my eye was lot #116, a 2005 Zenith from the Thierry Nataf era. The watch is a titanium automatic diver's chronograph from 2005. Sometimes when I wonder if Nataf's regime was real or a dream, I see a piece like this and remember.

90 Day Review
90 Day ReviewThree months ago I bought my first Rolex, a new 126333 or more descriptively the 41DJ fluted two tone with a silver sticks dial and the new 3235 movement with a 70 hour power reserve. It’s a modern classic DateJust look that together with the dressier jubilee bracelet will compliment almost any long sleeve.I took of all of the stickers off and learned how to adjust the bracelet myself with a spring-bar tool and give it a nice comfortable fit....And what I appreciate is the style and quality of this watch as both men’s jewelry and the utility of a good time piece that doesn’t need to be fussed-with much.Then finally I’m a fan of using the date window and not struggling to remember the date every day.Do you feel the same way?

Incoming.... Please don't laugh.
So after a two month absence, I decided to re-acquire the blue Milgauss. I missed it like crazy!! It's a keeper for sure! (At least until my blue SkyD comes in next month).......Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
