Housed in the new Glashutte Original Senator Automatic watch is a silver dial
Housed in the new Glashutte Original Senator Automatic watch is a silver dial, encircled by a fine black "railroad track" minute track. It coordinates perfectly with black Roman numerals. Pointing to hours and minutes are pear-shaped, blued steel hands. In charge of seconds is a blued steel seconds hand, fitted with a double-G counterweight.

Field Test: Davosa Military
I've pretty much always been a dive watch guy. I own a dress watch and a vintage field watch, but almost everyday a dive watch is what I reach for in the morning. This is somewhat intentional as I've learned I'm really hard on my gear and watches fall into that category for me. Dive watches are built for unforgiving environments and so I've defaulted to them. So when I got the opportunity to test out Davosa's Military Vintage Automatic watch it was somewhat outside of my norm, but I jumped at the chance.Davosa is a Swiss Made brand with a line that ranges far and wide. From dress watches, to tritium tubed chronographs, to quartz watches they cover a lot of ground. The Military Vintage Automatic falls in their Automatic line and is somewhat difficult to define. It takes inspiration from both vintage big crowned field watches and big crowned pilot watches. It's one of my favorites amongst their broad offering. To test out the Davosa, I spent a month using it daily. I took it backpacking

Just Arrived: My first Patek....Yes, it's an another....
5167I'm at the next phase of my horological experience or WISdom. What's better than to celebrate with a Patek!Here are a few quick observation from wearing it for the last 6 hours:+40mm on 7 1/2 wrist = Perfection!+The chameleon black/grey dial is unreal. Must have looked at the dial over 100 times today but still don't know what time it is.+The swooshing sound from the rotor is music to my ears.+Is it strange that I was smelling the strap during a meeting?+I can forget the Surefire flashlight. The lume will be sufficient to light my way in the dark.+Already have small scratch on the bezel. Hallelujah, now that's over with I can enjoy this watch. Every watch should come pre-scratched!

Idea for Rolex business model
Tell me what you think of this idea. As a generalization, it seems like Rolex produces less SS sport (e.g. daytona, sub, GMT, skydweller, etc.) than are in demand and more PM sport subs and GMTs than are in demand. I'm an engineer and we talk a lot about push vs pull systems. Why doesn't Rolex take specific models and only produce what is ordered and paid for in advance? No more, no less. It seems like this would dry up the gray market because why would I pay Joe Shmoe more than retail for a ceramic daytona when I can just order one from Rolex, even if I still had to wait 6 months? They could still keep boutiques with DJ, DD, and a few others. Rolex's team has to be way smarter than me, doesn't this make sense?
