Patek Philippe: Two bangers!

I like that east-west dial finish on the 3923. Patek usually goes north-south. In this case I think I have a marginal preference for the 3923. Luckily you don’t have to choose!

Horological Meandering:

There are still a few shops in Tokyo that never reverted back to regular business practices after COVID. And Tokyo is so big that it would be a shame if you took a train or subway 30-45 minutes just to be denied entrance and have to waste the same amount of time going back. For a few more recommenda

Horological Meandering: A few suggestions.

Time Tunnel near Tabata Station is probably the best for your specific interest. It is appointment only so check the website beforehand. The staff speaks OK English by email to request any watches you want to view. Glint in Aoyama also has a nice selection, also appointment only. It is not far from

Rolex: One of the joys of this hobby realizing how unique each piece can be.

In that case, JLC should license the technology to the entire industry. This patent also sounds more like a piece of

Patek Philippe: 5065J for me. Its quirky elements elevate it to the sublime. The bracelet included.

It is a masterpiece. Much better than the Nautilus for me of all versions I’ve seen. But 5167 and the other newer Aquanauts lack the charm. Your collection is off the charts amazing. It’s such a privilege to enjoy your posting along with all the other amazing members here.
