Cadillac & Rolex Over The Years: Cars Change, Watches Don't
I'll admit it. I love watches and I love cars. To me, they both represent a higher state of where design and machinery intersect. And being in the watch business for all of my life (I'm a 4th generation watchmaker, and founder of TimeZonewatches-dealer), I always seem to find a correlation between people who own fine luxury cars, and those who own fine luxury watches. Having said that, the world of watches is amusingly different than that of cars.I've always played a little game in my head as to what car corresponds to which watch - like those matching games you'd play in the newspaper. So match the car with the watchHere are a few of my matches: Panerai and BMW, Lange and Maybach, Patek and Mercedes, Jaeger and Lexus, IWC and Audi, and the quintessential American luxury car: Cadillac and Rolex. The luxury car and watch for the masses.I was brought up in the 1960's and 1970's, and I remember so vividly the anticipation of the new car design lineups each September when the car companies

Depending on the angle and the lighting, the color changes of this very unique dial never cease to amaze me.

Can I pull this off? (Pam372) - opinions please
Hi allI visited the panerai ad last weekend to try the 372...I love the look of the watch but of course was concerned about it's size. if the 390 were still available I'd probably go for that, since the 44mm luminor case is a good fit for me... so anyway:Here are a few pics I snapped off the watch on my wrist. Do you guys think I can pull it off? The lugs I think overhang slightly over the edges of my wrist. I'm 6' tall with thin lanky build...Thx for your opinions!!Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

Help finding a new SubC -116610LN
Here is a little bit of the story. So I own a Y serial purchased new in 2003 in my collection. It has a little family history behind it through the years. I wear it quite a bit in the rotation. I always said that when my boys graduate from college they would get a watch handed down. Well my first boy is going to graduate next year with his engineering degree from SDSU. I will be giving him my Sub. I would like to replace that sub with another in the most current version.Fast forward to the last few weeks and I am surprised to see the lack of availability on the standard sub. I get and follow all the fuss with hulk (own one), BLNR, Daytona etc etc. I called up my AD that I use and no luck. She does not have one. Then I started looking at lightly used or second hand BNIB and see the grays are almost at new retails. For that price difference I would go AD all the way.So is a SubC really that hard to find? or is my AD just not a high enough volume dealer to have one?Lastly, if an

A few thoughts about the new GMT, nicknames, and more...
1. I don't know if it is my place to say this, but I think it would be a disservice to 18k white gold Pepsi owners to release a stainless steel Pepsi this year. I believe it would be akin to Lamborghini stopping production of the Huracan and the following year releasing an exact copy of the Huracan but only with a 4 cylinder VW motor at 1/3rd to 1/4th the price. I don't see Rolex releasing a Pepsi in SS this year for that reason. I think it could have the potential to devalue the white gold version.2. Nicknames... Superhero and muppet and cola can nicknames have been around for a long time. I don't think they're going anywhere. Reference number is definitely a better way to refer to a watch, but the nicknames are part of the Rolex watches. I don't think the nicknames are going anywhere.3. Pepsi and Coke... In my opinion, were accurately applied to GMTs with aluminum bezels. I don't think my opinion matters much, but I think cerachrome bezel inserts warrant a different nickna
