I bought Bluesy new on May 29. I have not set it once, and its now only 5 seconds behind atomic time. Sadly I have to set the date now, and I'll have to unscrew the crown again for DST next month.
One second per month……….its incredible.

So why does nearly every seconds hand have them ?
The Luminox I had briefly was the worst offender. Not only was it long, but it was really fat too.
Does anyone have a seconds hand to show off witho…
Continue readingIn my quest to find the easiest to read chrono, I landed on central minutes counters as the best way to achieve this goal.
I discovered Panerai's P.9100 caliber that is built around this feature. its also a flyback chrono, which I've discove…
Continue readingThe post about the GO 70's model, with its very clever power indicator, made me wonder………..
A power reserve indicator would be super useful on all mechanical watches. Seem like it would have started out as a standard feature, just like seco…
Continue readingAs a huge fan of central minute chronos, I was super shocked that my Google feed announced this watch before I saw it on WUS.
Then I thought, well, it was probably announced a long time ago and Google just figured it out.
Several (many, many) searche…
Continue readingThis is the best test of accuracy as well. Since you aren’t forced to unscrew that $*%& crown for the date, let’s see how close it’ll be on October 1.
Anyone going to try it ?
My new Bluesy is still closer to perfect time than I can tell with my own eye. In the second it takes to focus between my phone’s atomic time and the dial, its…
I have small wrists, but all 3 are sized to fit the same way.
18K gold is nearly twice as heavy as SS, and…
WUS showed me another way !!
I learned of central minute chronos, and remembered the old Lemania 5100 from my search 20+ years ago.
Today Sinn and Damasco have carried the torch, along with a few others.
I ordered the Damasco a couple of months ago, and today it made it to my house. I absolutely love it.

I doubt I’ve risen to the point where anyone remembers what I’ve posted, but I’m the guy who posted the anti-Rolex diatribe a little while back. I’ll admit it was trolly, but it was late and ethanol was involved…………
But the conundrum has always bothered me. Rolex is a status symbol recognized by the non-WIS. So why would I want one ?
Because it is authentic. In this case ^2. it’s THE original dive watch, and its real…
My watches wear very gently. I never beat them up or get damaging scratches or dents anywhere.
But I’ve observed that playing golf makes that pretty difficult. Reaching for clubs and putting them back forces one to be very careful not to put your watch through a literal obstacle course.
What do you guys do ?
