Interesting, thanks.
Yeah, another roundup. Thanks.
The Magistralis is going to cost a pretty penny, but then I guess if one has to ask the price....... :mrgreen:
Most 'one-ofs' are sold before they are even finished and there's a clause in the contract that the maker can get to keep it for a couple of months after completion, for the PR work.Originally Posted by WatchScout

Yes. That would make sense.
The magistralis looks made for me, it's even got a retard setting :D
:mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Thank you very much John!!
The Magistralis is stunning, and much more likeable than all this DNA stuff :x
The Valdés is not bad either :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
And it sings. It sings! This is one that I would dearly like to have.
But, it would be a difficult choice between it and the Stanley with the tape measure. Good to see that Stanley, at least, is a watchmaker recognizing the intimate relation between space and time.
Best wishes,
Bob

I have two excellent additions to the roundup. The first one shows how an automatic chrono still has a clear view (at the back) of the works.

love those lod Pam's old I will be rich!
I wonder whether or not the rare Jouvenot has changed your dislike regarding a watch showing some or all innards from the front?

No. I think it's an awful looking watch, anyway.

I just don't get this Jouvenot thing. That just doesn't make sense?!?

Recently I’ve been enjoying these watch podcasts. It started with the Scott Carpenter interview, above … and I’ve decided they are a new way to enjoy watches. The podcasts are nice and meaty, each over 2½ hours long and very absorbing. A tad Rolex radio, but so what? If your life involves long drives or train journeys, you will love them but don’t impose them on people who are not interested.

These blogs are a great way to learn about the history of Rolex
The Mare Nostrum History is really interesting,what great watch boxes too.Some of those old watches must be worth a fortune.
I am very surprised the Chinese haven't homaged them yet.
The Chinese?
The Chinese?
Where are the Chinese? :shock: :wink:

That's quite cool. It would have been even better if the whole arms were coloured. (And it didn't look like coloured play-dough at the ends.)
Best wishes,
Bob
Some interesting stuff, John.
I can now dazzle my Rolex buddies witht the fact that the GMT reference 6542 is called "The Pussy" and will call the Submariner for Manometer from now on :mrgreen:
