Autodromo Prototipo Watches: Modern With Retro Racing Style
The tie between wristwatches and automobiles has been well established on these pages. Often times, when a brand releases a "car" watch, it can be a somewhat tenuous tie, or it's just for a single model. With the folks over at Autodromo, however, cars are simply a way of life, and it informs each and every watch they create.Their latest models, the Prototipo and Prototipo Vic Elford, pay homage to auto racing of the 60's and 70's. This was a time when watches were truly a tool used in the cockpit of the car, allowing the driver to time laps with ease. This is done in much different ways these days of course, but that heritage lives on in this new line.For this lineup, Autodromo focused in on the Prototype Era of endurance racing (prototipo is Italian for prototype). To start with, this informed the case shape. The 42mm stainless steel case has smoothed out curves (and integrated lugs), which is intended to call to mind the curved bodies of the cars that were on the racetrack in the 196

A little vintage
I'm wearing this now (ref. 2484, ca. 1958, case diameter 33 mm), having just got it back from my father, who had been keeping it "warm" for the past couple of years. I inherited it from my grandfather in the early '80s, but my dad and I had been sharing it the while (esp. while I was in school). I'm glad to have it back. Such a gorgeous watch!

Edmonton..coming for a visit, AD recommendation.
Hi..can anyone recommend places to check out Rolex's in Edmonton. I will be in Edmonton next weekend and since provincial sales tax are basically half of my provincial sales tax, I may just pull the trigger, as that equates to an instant 8% discount. I am looking for a Sub, Tudor BB, or potentially a Explorer! Thanks in advance for your replies.
