Hands-On: The Zenith Heritage Pilot Caf¨¦ Racer, A Pilot¡¯s Watch Inspired By A Biking Subculture
The Heritage Pilot Café Racer is the latest entry in Zenith’s famed collection of pilot watches, and on paper it’s a great addition with its own spin on the genre. But is the connection between 1960s café racing culture and high-flying timekeeping instruments a little too far fetched? And does it matter if it is? 1 OF 4 The new Café Racer has all the redeeming qualities of a classic pilot’s watch, i.e. a lot of oversized features, from its case and Arabic numerals to its onion crown and faceted hands. But this particular pilot's watch is inspired by a wingless machine, ridden not flown, on long ribbons of concrete.The Café Racer was a hybrid motorcycle, and the symbol of a timid movement led by Britain’s thrill-seeking, blue-jean-wearing youth in the '60s. Gathering at cafés – the kind with a liquor license and a jukebox filled with good tunes – they’d race lightweight bikes such as the T

Fantastic shots...
...of one of my favorite places! My wife and I spent a week just down the road in Playa del Carmen a couple of years ago, and we can't wait to go back. Mexico is such a great place with wonderful things to see, friendly people and lots of history. Not to mention the great food! Cheers

My first Swiss movement Accutron
The initial attraction of this M7 Swiss movement caliber 214 Bulova Accutron was the extensive use of lume on the dial at each hour and minute marker.(BTW the lum still glows brightly) The watch was listed as non working but the problem turned out to be a missing battery cover contact spring. Once replaced and a new battery inserted the watch started humming immediately! It is keeping excellent time, but because there is no service history it will soon be on the way to Bob Piker for service and crystal replacement.

LadyDatejust advice please
Hi all, I have asked about this elsewhere and the verdict wasn't good.However the Ms is still smitten. So hoping for some advice as to whether it all seems right for the model and year?MsMaker would like a watch to wear on occasions and going out. She has a bimetal Datejust purchased earlier this year but has a hankering for a solid yellow gold watch. Visiting an AD this week we saw a gold DJ in a nearby jewellers. We have used this jewellers before and found them to be pretty good in the past. Unfortunately we were pressed for time (me trying on lots) so didn't look at the watch closely, only in the window. I can find similar models cheaper/dearer online but we prefer to buy from a local (ish) shop. So basically what should I look for in particular on this model if we go back to look at it, are there any known weak points or problems? Any advice from those more knowledgeable (most I suspect) than me is much appreciated. ThanksThis is the watchjohnbulljewellers.co.uk/pre-o...lady-8586
