M��hle-Glash��tte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer '150 Jahre DGzRS' Watch
The M��hle-Glash��tte Special Edition S.A.R. Rescue-Timer 150 Jahre DGzRS is an easy watch to like. That's not to say its minimalist styling will charm everyone, but the fact that all the proceeds go to charity tugs at my heartstrings. Since 1865, the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) have been keeping the seafarers and water sportsmen and women of the North and Baltic seas safe from harm. To celebrate the 150-year anniversary of the charity's foundation, M��hle-Glash��tte have released this special edition variant of the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, which has been used by the on-board crew for the last 13 years.In my experience, M��hle-Glash��tte is a polarising brand. There is something unabashedly utilitarian about many of their wares that does not appeal to everyone. When I first saw photographs of the M��hle-Glash��tte range, I was unimpressed by the finish and what I took to be generic styling.

Quintessential Calatrava-style AP from a different era...
Having recently received this recent acquisition back from independent servicing, I couldn't be more pleased. As the title of the post suggests, this model, to my mind and eye, embodies all of the classic design elements of the Calatrava line of watches made famous by Patek Philippe (and first introduced in 1932). Housed in a simple, yet elegant 35mm case, is arguably the finest hand-wind movement ever produced by AP: the Valjoux-based VZSSc (the sub-second version was VZSS). Cheers, Tony C.

No, it's not a little sports car - but it is my first true custom.

Incomming from an AD!
While it hasn't been long since I joined TRF, I have been purchasing Rolexes from the trusted sellers here for years. From Sub C Date, LVC, 116520 Daytona, BNLR, GMT II-C, 116500 Daytona, IWC 3714 Portuguese, Omega Moon Watch to 116515 Daytona, I've bought and traded in a lot of watches for the past 5-6 years. After going through all the watches, I've came to a personal realization that classics, such as GMT II-C, 116520 Daytona and Sub C, are the watches I'll end up keeping. I wish I never flipped the 116520 Daytona, and I plan on purchasing a new old stock 116520 in the distant future.In the meantime, here is my newest incomming from an AD, Sub-C No Date. The sales person at the AD thought this was my first Rolex as I look young and wasn't wearing any watches I purchased a No Date as I already have a GMT II-C with the date function. Here comes the pics!
