Introducing the Autodromo Group B
Although I'm a firm believer in the similarities between car enthusiasts and watch enthusiasts and the common mechanical bent that binds us, I'll be the first to admit that the vast majority of "automotive-inspired" watches are dismal. Most take their inspiration far too literally, painting in broad strokes and placing automotive elements (tachometer markings, racing number roundels, or god forbid an actual steering wheel or disc brake) front and center, rather than allowing them to flavor what should be first and foremost sound and attractive watch design.The best of these attempts take a singular design concept and stick to just that, without beating the viewer over the head with car imagery. One of the best at this in the current watch market is Autodromo. In recent years, the brand has delivered a string of great automotive pieces from the Prototipo to the sublime Stradale, and they've topped all their previous efforts with their latest- the Group B.The FIA World Rally Championship

the annual "should i flip my AP poll"
every now and then i will feel the urge for something new... whether to flip or add, i'm not sure, but i narrowed it down to these 6 choices and just for fun, i'd like to see what the forum thinks:1. Black themes (previous generation without the red highlights)pros: i have it mounted on a rubber strap so it's both sporty and elegant at the same time. matches anything. if i stick to it, i don't have to spend a dime.cons: sometimes i find it dull and devoid of personality. very 'safe'2. Steel rubbercladpros: cool and sporty lookingcons: i would only want the H series with the updated glossy dial and white gold AP logo and chrono rings and it seems hard to find. also not as formal looking3. Rosegold rubbercladpros: ultra cool and sporty looking. can also be considered elegant because of the goldcons: more expensive. too blingy looking? i'm a pretty down to earth guy so may not suit me...4. Navy (2014 version)pros: sporty looking and blue is my favourite colourcons: not as formal looking.

Omega to Breitling
Gents,Recently purchased an Omega Speedmaster racing with the yellow. Spent around $4,700 on the piece and could not stand the watch once it left the store as it pulled the hair in my arm and was very uncomfortable to wear. The Jewler said I could switch it for another omega or a Breitling. I'd really like to stay around the same price...maybe around $5,000. Good options? I currently own a new ceramic sub and a Tag heuer blue regatta.The watch has to be new as this is an authorized dealer.Thanks Gents.
