Jaeger-LeCoultre: Real live picts of the Reverso Ultra thin for London

I'm in London this week and I had the amazing fortune of visiting the JLC London boutique and being able to see the prototype of the Reverso ultra-thin for London. It's SS and based on the other editions with the major differences being the colour of the dial and the engraving on the back. The green

Automotive: New Boxsters are bigger - but heavier, not so much...

So I used to have the first gen 986 boxster and I've got to say that although my new 981 Boxster S is longer and wider, the weight is actually about the same at around 2950ish lbs. The longer wheelbase leads to a more refined and balanced ride - the best way to describe the different generations is

Zenith: 24/22mm

24mm at the lug tapering to 22mm at the buckle. FYI - these are the same measurements as Panerai uses on it's 44mm models. Cheers -Sam

Zenith: I have not seen the 40mm in person

Dean, I have no seen the 40mm in person, only picts that have been posted. I think that as a pilot watch, 40mm would be too small for me too. Pilot watches IMO need to be a little oversize to speak to their heritage and tradition :-) I actually liked the GMT model out of all of the new type 20 model

Zenith: GMT function...

Dean, Happy to let you know how the GMT function works... The GMT function actually works differently from other GMT watches I have (Rolex GMT/Explorer II, PAM233) In some ways the Zenith works in reverse and isn't as intuitive to use as my other GMTs IMO. Let me explain - on something like the Role

Zenith: A quick review of my new Montre D'Aéronef Type 20 GMT

I've been lusting after this piece ever since I saw the original previews that were posted online back in Jan as part of a private SIHH showing. The new Type 20 line is really well done, but the piece that really sung to me was the GMT model. I was a little concerned about the size when reading the

Zenith: So totally confused by the metals on the GMT now..

So Shing might be the only one who knows for sure since he has handled them in the preview. I think the pre-production pieces for the GMT are all steel, right? Steel or Steel with DLC However, I've now read in different places, mentions of titanium. The release posted says steel and Titanium with DL

Horological Meandering: Date can be challenging to read at time..

So yes - the double date can be challenging to read at times, especially in the blue version vs the yellow. However, both versions suffer from the fact that the hands are not skeletonized and fairly fat so certain times, you can't even read the date even if there was more contrast in the numbers. Re

Horological Meandering: I liked this piece so much - I bought one!

I've actually had the piece for about a month now and I'm very impressed with it. I went to my LW AD intending to look at this new Okto II unsure of what to expect since I had been let down once before when I was all excited by the Spidolite Chrono and the new Spidolite 2, only to be very disappoint

Audemars Piguet: The croc strap was a real pain to get a hold of..

Policies might have changed for the better in the past years, but when I originally contacted AP parts in NYC, they would only sell me the rubber strap as a replacement. Had to go through more inventive methods to get the croc strap. Would love to hear from other folks if they had similar issues get
