Horological Meandering: It's not quite as simple as you assume...

Presell? WPS would have to commit to a set number by the manufacture before we have a concept shown. And we can't pre-sell without a concept - unless you think you'd give WPS 30K of your money carte blanche! Thus, no risk is minimized. Sadly, things aren't as simple as you initially assumed. Not sur

Patek Philippe: I like the J more than the G owned in my family!

P, J, R, G is the order for me for the 5110 family. For the 5130, I like P, R, J, and G. This 5110J is a beautiful example - I would proudly wear this! I wonder if there's a casual strap style that would lend itself well to this watch. And maybe a casual watch strap style for the 5110G might make me

Thank you for telling me more about this watch!

Horological Meandering: No bad ideas here...

But... There is a lot of risk here, the business side is complex. The delivery side is complex as well, are they all delivered from one boutique at one location at a centralized event? Who services the customer? The local boutique or authorized dealer? Etc. I'd also say the pricing is a little on th

Patek Philippe: I was never a fan. But that's just me!

Most important is YOU! What do you think about it? I also was surprised this was a manual wind movement. As most people still prefer an automatic on a travel watch. I would highly recommend steering you to a 5110G, 5110P, or a 5130R or 5130P. I find the 5110P, 5130R, and 5130P to be some of the most

Automotive: I'm still hesitant to recommend EVs.

The Porsche Taycan drives amazingly. Truly a Porsche from a driving perspective - lack of sound otherwise. But, can I recommend one? So much of car ownership is outside of just how it drives, but the reliability, the insurability, the competence in a specific region by the dealership, and the long-t

Automotive: OOoooo! Now you're talking!

I drove the R8 V10 with the R Tronic gearbox - didn't like the car - the steering ratio was too slow, on a moderately windy road I had to go hand over hand steering, and the suspension set up wasn't the way I liked. But I do like the idea of a manual! Very cool! Too bad Lamborghini didn't make a man

Rolex: It's my favorite interior color on the Porsches right now.

I do appreciate full leather interiors, but the summer here is so warm that I'm afraid of the leather shrinkage around the dashboard as the car ages. I put up the sunshade on my cars, but sometimes that's not enough. I REALLY LIKE the Alcantara ceiling liner over the nylon fishnet cloth though. That
