M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte Terrasport I Beobachter Watch
For a long time, I didn't know how I felt about pilot's watches. For years, I found myself underwhelmed whenever another in a seemingly endless queue of "me too" models hit the market. Every brand was at it, and I couldn't figure out why. Then, quite by accident, I ended up with one on my wrist, and I finally got it. What followed was an irrational interest in the unusually large,?plain cases, enormous emergency pushers, proud onion crowns, and the bold dials that can be read from a block away (at night). The M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte Terrasport I Beobachter is not the easiest pilot's watch to read, but its integer-heavy display gives it an identifiability other more generic layouts sometimes lack. This watch is a simple three-hander with a centrally-mounted seconds hand. The slenderness of the red-tipped seconds hand is perfectly designed to precisely indicate the passing time, and makes best use of the ubiquitous line markers on the dial.There is a tendency amongst pilot's watches to go for a

leather vs. stainless steel
I am interested in purchasing a khaki field chrono auto. I was wondering how durable this watch would be, and if it would be strong enough to be worn at work on the construction site. My current watch takes alot of abuse. I'm also wondering which type of strap would be a better choice, I'm undecided they both have pros & cons. Any input would be appreciated

I hung out with James Bond last night.
At work none the less. Sean Connery (John Allen) made an appearance. Event was called Caritas a silent auction benefit dinner black tie $275 a plate with an extensive silent auction inventory all with the James Bond "Licensed to Thrill" theme. It was quite the event and I had the privilege to guard ZAO's Jaguar XKR from the movie Die Another Day (car straight from the movie) as well as the entrance to the event.Only thing that disappointed me was with the extensive silent auction inventory there weren't any watches on hand :( . How can you have a James Bond benefit silent auction event/dinner and no James Bond watches? Aw well. Mr. Allen did a very good job. Talked like Sean, demeanor like Sean, the works. I picked him up from the Empress Casino and people were taking pictures with him in the lobby and everything. He even had a personal photo of him with the real Mr. Connery and I couldn't tell the difference.

3-Watch Collection Strategy
I'm seeking your sage advise oh wise Rolex Forum. I want to build a 3-watch collection over the next 5-10 years. I have my first of the three with a Hulk Sub. For the remaining two watches, I'm shooting for a budget of 30k. I want to be deliberate. I love the whole SEAL-based strategy, but I'm not sure that really actually fills my first world needs. Speaking of, here are my desirements for a watch collection:1. The more formal situations. Mr. Hulk is fine, but I'd prefer something a bit more refined. I actually really love the new Everose Datejust 36, but I'm really naive in this genre. Any good affordable PP to consider?2. A GMT of some sort. I'm partial to Rolex and actually really like the new Root Beer. However, what else is out there that I should consider?I used to be in love with the Daytona, but I've sort of lost interest in the chrono type watches as these are complications I would probably never use.Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
