Reflections, thoughts, and rationale for my Black Daytona
Many years ago I read "Dress for Success" and this treatise became the standard for corporate business wear. Not being in the corporate world the ideals apply to other professions as well. Malloy writes "The business man does not wear dive watches, race car watches, or astronaut watches, but something on a leather strap and simple." That is at least how the thoughts were prior to the evolution to the casual Friday business attire.No doubt, the white dial Daytona has a cult following and who could argue with the way it looks with anything from a golf shirt to a herringbone sport coat. Just look at how great it looks on John Holbrook's wrist at the three day Rolex event in Kentucky. (See JBH's great travel article on the Rolexreference page) However, I have always gravitated to the black dial watches, whether it be pilots, divers, or chronographs for their technical or tool look. When I got the call from the AD, it was a black and not a white. Without hesitation the black was a "go" bec

What is the best size Seamaster? Or perhaps biggest?
Well I know the 2254.50 is a mid-size watch, I believe? And I actually went to Tourneau and tried the mid-size on and its just to small on my wrist, I need something more flashy and a little bigger. Ok well not necessarily flashy but more substantial. What is the next step up? Or what is the largest size? Also, does anyone have any wrist shots they can post? Thanks guys!I love this forum BTW.

One more really rare 14K GRUEN CUSHION CASE
This one is really nice........14K Green Gold. Very early model pre 1920 I believe. All original!!! 15J cal. 91 movement. Looks great and runs great as well. Case is a very early model. Stem and crown are part of the case much like early Walthams. In near mint condition!!! I have another cushion in 18KWG with a Cal 610 17J movement. I will post photos of it shortly.

So here are my impressions: I love the blue dial¡­the blue is very deep and changes color depending

Anybody have a Citizen Eco Drive Minute Repeater?
I'm interested in the Citizen minute repeater because I think it's an interesting complication, but even if I hit Megabucks I doubt I'd spend the $$ on a mechanical one. So, that leaves the Citizen or Bulova as far as I'm aware. I think I prefer the Citizen because it is an Eco Drive and a Perpetual Calendar (if I remember right...)Thanks for any info!
