Driving the specially prepared Luminox Watch Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car, Jeff Zwart won the 2WD Time Attack class and set a new class record in the 88th running of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb on June 27. Zwart, now a seven-time Pikes Peak class winner, not only broke Rhys Millen?’s 2009 class record by 38 seconds (after smashing his qualifying record by 18 seconds), but went faster than all but five cars in the entire field, including 3 Unlimited Class and 2 Open Wheels cars, all with 600-plus horsepower. His 911 GT3 Cup car also beat all the production-based race car entries, both 2WD and 4WD. Nobulhiro Tajima, from Japan, won the hillclimb overall in an Unlimited Class eight-cylinder, turbocharged Suzuki 4WD one-off race car.Zwart expressed amazement that his normally-aspirated car didn?’t lose horsepower from the 9,000-foot-elevation start and the 14,000-foot finish line.

New Face Of The Breitling Aerospace Watch For 2009
Originally released almost two decades ago now, the Breitling Aerospace is a wildly popular model that underwent a series of minor visual updates over the years. The watch has recently sort of been off the radar as Breitling focused on other watches -? especially those mechanical ones with higher profit margins. The turn in the economy has allowed (forced) them to re-shift their focus on some of their more reasonably priced luxury instrument watches. At Baselworld this year they released a brand new Aerospace model (actually two watches that share the Superquartz (thermoline quartz) movement, but only one called the "Aerospace"), what recaptures some of what people loved in the original - but maybe not enough.

First Watch - Tudor BBN In-House
Hi All! Due to changing out from another hobby and some very enthusiastic friends, I've been lurking for the last 2 months to get into watches. Tried to start conservative with a max budget of $500, then $800, then $1000, then $1500 -- the more I read, the worse it got!After trying on several Seikos at a local department store to get a feel for size and style, and I realized I would be unhappy going through starter watches and having to upgrade.Thanks all for the great forum and load of information. Already considering my 2nd watch need and looking forward to when I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Rolex!In case a newcomer like me can help anyone, that's a Corsair MM300 extended mouse pad (36 wide x 12 tall) in the pic. I've been using that product for quite a while and can already tell it will serve perfectly to help desk diving scratches.
