Hoptroff Atomic Watches: Now In Wearable Sizes
After presenting the wrist-worn No. 16 atomic clock watch about a year ago, Richard Hoptroff is back with the Hoptroff No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 atomic wrist watches that he claims are now "wearable." What I am actually spending the most time thinking about is how the Number 16 watch came before numbers 1, 2, and 3. But perhaps, that is for a different time. Right now, the focus is on these three new timepieces that contain what Hoptroff claims are the latest in small-sized atomic clock technology.So what does wearable mean? The Hoptroff No. 16 was almost 84mm wide and looked like two watches welded to one another side-by-side. The Hoptroff No. 1, 2, and 3 atomic watches have a more traditional rectangular case that is clearly shaped as such to contain the electronics inside. The case is available in rhodium-plated brass or 18k yellow gold for each of the watches and is 52mm wide by 42mm tall and rather chunky at 19.5mm thick. Even though these are still quite large measurements, in his

Base 22 GA Setting question
Hi Guys,I¡¯m a new member here, but I¡¯m a TZ regular. I¡¯m glad there is a dedicated Glycine forum here! I just acquired a base 22 GA which is my second airman, the first being the airman 8. I like the watch but I¡¯m having some difficulty training myself to read the time correctly. I followed the Glycine setting directions which are not written well and I want to see if I¡¯ve done it right. I¡¯ve set the blue hour hand (12 hours )to my local time and the 24 hour hand to my local time as well. The bezel is set to GMT. As a look at the time my eye naturally wants to follow the arrow hand (24 hour) to tell the time in the 12 hour format. I¡¯m having difficulty focusing on the blue hand (12 hour) to see the time in the 12 hour format. I¡¯ve read several articles and posts about how GA is different from the GMT model in terms of functionality, compared to the GMT but I¡¯m not seeing it, it seems to be the same. Can some of you GA owners help me out and explain how the GA can bet set and how i

State of Rolex
Had some time to kill today in NYC. Visited three prominent Rolex ADs and a Rolex boutique. I found one Smurf. Other than that, no subs....not even a ND. No GMTs....not a one. Only 2 of them had YMs. I find this ridiculous.I also talked to two separate managers regarding the SS Pepsi, who told me the same thing my AD has:They currently don't know how many they are getting or when. BUT...they anticipate getting 2 or 3 A YEAR. If true (I've heard this from 3 separate sources), let that sink in. And if you think your local AD will be getting more than ADs in the middle of NYC, then I have a bridge I want to sell you.

Could the SS Daytona Price Increase 20%?
The Patek sub-forum is all abuzz about Patek's announcement yesterday to increase the price of the white-hot Nautilus stainless steel line (5711-1A and 5712-1A) by about 20% worldwide effective March 1. Price increases, if any, for the rest of the lines have not yet been announced and may be announced at Basil.Gray market prices of these SS Pateks have been well above theoretical MSRP for some time and are now even higher than they've been. Sound familiar?Sooooo....does anyone think this might happen with Rolex and SS Daytona prices?
