Hands-On: With the Monoposto, Autodromo's First Mechanical Watch (Live Pics)
A few weeks ago we gave you an early look at the Monoposto, the first mechanical watch from Autodromo, a cool, well-conceived upstart based right here in NYC. Inspired by mid-century Italian grand prix cars, the Monoposto combines serious motoring heritage with very wearable style. Today we give you a hands-on look at this limited edition automatic.At 43mm, the Monoposto is starting to get up there in size, but it wears nicely. The tapered case sits nicely on the wrist and the thin, turned bezel makes the watch appear a millimeter or two smaller than it really is. The wire lugs might make changing straps a little fiddly, but they are pitched at just the right angle to keep the watch sitting nicely. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the details here. 2 OF 23 The Autodromo Monoposto, Black Dial The dial is bright, clean, and easy to read, but the first thing you'll probably notice is the bright red line between 9 and 10 o'clock. This line, inspired by

The first watch brand to start my collection?
Hello everyone,I'm new to watch collecting. I've actually just bought watches based on looks and what I can afford. But my father has a nice collection and I'm wanting to start up my own. I can't afford much ($100 to $300). Which watch brand should I start out with and why? And where should I move up to after that? Thank you.

Quartz or auto for first Omega?
I have long wanted a high quality Swiss watch. I have never had an automatic before. But I have been thinking if I do step up to an Omega. Should I go ahead and get what would be my first auto, or stick with a quartz. What do you all suggest?

Shades of blue -5711
Some pictures for your enjoyment. Lots of comments and posts about the blue tones of the 5711. The images were taken straight from the camera, no editing. The only difference was the angle and the lighting. Pretty clear how the dial can transform from grey to blue almost magically.
