Armin Strom Tourbillon Gravity Fire Watch With Micro-Rotor
Whatever you may think of the practicality of a tourbillon in a watch, there's no escaping that they are quite a visual treat to watch while they work away. Normally when a watch has one, though, that's all you really see of the movement from the dial side. The folks over at Armin Strom give us more of a show, however, as they follow the design direction it's namesake founder (a Master Skeletonizer) set for the brand 40 years ago. Their latest gives us another treat that I don't know I've ever seen visible from the front of a watch.The trick that the Armin Strom Tourbillon Gravity Fire (ref RG14-TF.M.90) has up its sleeve is a micro-rotor. As you might suspect, a micro-rotor is simply a smaller version of the rotors we're used to seeing in an automatic watch; these usually lead to a thinner watch than you might normally have as well.In this watch, Armin Strom makes the micro-rotor plainly visible over at the 4 o'clock position. Now, obviously, a rotor of any sort makes use of gravity (

Compare your 5167A to Daytona, if you have both
My watch dealer has offered me an excellent deal on a LNIB 5167A, and I'm on his wait list for a stainless Daytona. I've never owned a Patek, but the Aquanaut is the one that most appeals to me. I'm only going to get one nice piece this year and can't do both, so if you own both I would love to hear your thoughts. I've got around me ten Rolex and Tudor sport watches already, new and vintage, but the Daytona is sort of a Grail watch. I have average size wrists but I do like bigger pieces with some presence, and my favorites are my 42mm Polar ExpII and blue Milgauss.I realize these are apples/oranges, and Chrono function isn't really a factor, more the iconic nature of the Daytona that I like.
