Uniform Wares M40 Brushed Review
Over the last several years, Uniform Wares has made waves, becoming a trendsetter in the industry. Since their first series came out, countless brands have come on the scene trying to copy their aesthetic. Lugless cases, sterile dials and generally clean and minimal designs all around, are hallmarks of the British brand. And as they've continued to grown and refine their style, they have also have refined their manufacturing, now entirely done in Switzerland.I had the chance of meeting with them a few months ago to see their new watches, and the build quality was immediately apparent in everything. Remarkably sharp edges, tight tolerances and clean finishing all around. But one model stood out the most, the M40 Brushed Steel. Part of their modern case line (hence "M"), this watch struck me with its all metal dial. Using laser cutting and precise finishing, it's striking and beautiful.

30 y/o Datejust, new lume or not?

Otherwise in good/used condition for its age except for a scratch in the crystal (another story).Can this be done by an authorized Rolex service center?

This Week's Theme: Elgin's 711 Series
When your collection grows into dozens of watches, you sometimes find yourself standing indecisively in front of them, trying to decide which watch to wear. Often I'll wind and set as many as five before settling on one. So, I've decided to try something different:THEMES!Each week, I'll pick a theme, and every watch I wear that week (work week) must follow that theme. I started out with small 30s/40s Tonneaus a couple weeks back. That was so much fun the next week I did US-Built Elgin Automatics, finishing the week with my Bumper. Last week, since it was short, I made it Hamilton week, and wore my three US-built Hamiltons (I also have a Swiss one from post-1969). This has been fun (and saves me the minutes of indecision each morning), and I thought I'd share the results with fellow American watch lovers.This week's theme is Elgins 13/0 sized 711 Series! These were introduced in (I think) 1955, replacing both the 8/0 round and 15/0 tonneau shaped movements. They featured a flat h
