Dottling Colosimo Spike & Mies "Stylish" Watch Winders
We have now entered the world of designer watch winders. Did you ever think that your next watch winder would be inspired by a chair? Or perhaps high heels? Well these two are. German safe and watch winder maker Dottling has built a follow-up model to their famed Colosimo watch winder safe. I originally wrote about the Colosimo here.The new winder is still called the Colosimo, but is smaller than the original and now has room to wind three versus one watch. To begin, Dottling will offer two limited edition versions of the second generation Colosimo. These are Colosimo "The Spike" and Colosimo "The Mies." Aren't they stylish?The main idea of the Colosimo is to look like a small safe. It has a safe-style door that opens up to reveal the winding drum. The drum has been redone here to offer space for three watches. The second gen Colosimo dimensions are 21cm x 21cm x 20cm. It is almost a perfect square and about 7 centimeters smaller than the original. It also weighs a lot less. Dottling w

Can someone post pics of a "sapphire sandwich"
I've heard of this watch, but my AD doesn't have it and I always like to stay up on interesting things. Anyone in Omegaland able to help a brotha out?

So, How Rugged is an Omega Seaaster, Say, Compared to a Submariner?
I have owned an 18K/SS Rolex Submariner since 1997, and over the 12 years I've had it, I have beat the living snot out of it. I've smashed it against cars, steel doorjambs, and support poles. I've worn it playing golf hundreds of times, diving, sailing, basketball, tennis you name it. It has been bumped, rubbed, slammed,, scraped and smashed against every kind of surface you can name. The watch had been in for routine service twice, and has always kept very good time, currently gaining less than 1 second/day. I am amazed that as badly as I have treated it, there has never been the hint of a hiccup in it's function. Even more remarkable is that cosmetically, it's in outstanding shape. The crystal is perfect, the bracelet is near perfect, the bezel, trim ring, stem and case are very good and almost require a loop to find flaws. Both times it has been in for service, it has been "restored" cosmetically so now only the soft gold end links show signs of significant use. My experience, thoug

Incoming! As today I took home the loved/hated ref. 5522A! A pilot's watch: easy to read, large, simple, utilitarian. My first impressions are that it's a great looking, casual, sports watch in a large case. The simplicity of it and the lightness of its steel case are it's trademarks. I attended the patek NY exhibition with some forum members and good friends and it's a great keepsake to remember a special summer and wonderful event by a brand that many of us are very passionate about. A steel time only Patek is not something we will see very often and less so in a modern (yet vintage vibe) interpretation. Be well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
