A Look at the Autodromo Prototipo Nero and Silver
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing the Autodromo Prototipos. These 70's inspired racing chronographs really struck a chord for me, with their excellent styling, superb detailing and reasonable prices. On top of that, they used Seiko Mecha-Quartz movements, which combine the affordability and accuracy of a quartz, with the functionality of a mechanical chronograph. These are movements that I'm a big fan of, and are grossly underused in the industry, so I was really excited to see them in such a cool watch.Recently, Autodromo added two more models to the Prototipo collection, bringing the total number of styles to 4 (well, technically 5 including the Vic Elford limited edition, but that is long sold out). The new models round out the series, adding a silver dialed version with orange accents for a retro palette, and a PVD model with yellow highlights for something more aggressive. Needless to say, I had to spend some time with the new versions after being smitten with the

Incoming Seamaster off the Bay
I started out looking for a somewhat upscale watch thinking of purchasing a Rolex Seadweller and asking questions over in the Rolex forum. After looking around I ended up making a choice of a Seamaster instead. If is used and purchased off ebay at what seems like a fair price. The watch comes with a 14 day return policy and the seller has close to 1200 sales with a 100% rating. This is my first purchase of an upscale watch so needless to say I'm excited and a bit apprehensive. Any inputs would be appreciated. Here are some of the ebay photos:

I know, I am probably biased
But isn't this watch the best ever made

A Treasured Patek ¨C Stolen Long Ago ¨C Can Archive Records be Retrieved?
My father-in-law Mike bought a simple manual wind Patek while traveling in Switzerland with his wife in the 1950s. My wife, then of school age, remembers the pride with which her dad displayed his new Patek after his return home. Mike wore that Patek for years and he was still wearing it daily in the early 2000s. I doubt that his Patek was ever serviced. Sadly, Mike¡¯s treasured Patek was stolen in about 2004, a year before Mike¡¯s death. My wife and I were clueless about fine timepieces and we had no idea at the time that the watch may have been registered in the Patek archives.I have only a vague recollection of Mike¡¯s watch but would guess it was a member of the Calatrava 96-series. I wonder if it would be possible to find a record of Mike¡¯s watch in the Patek archives. And, although we would be unable to claim the watch today, it would be interesting to learn if Patek has serviced Mike¡¯s watch in recent years.Can the Patek archives be searched with only the original watch own
