AFTERPAD

This film is all about paranoia. It's a David and Goliath story only we never really link see Goliath on-screen. As someone who grew up just outside of Washington D.C. and roamed the same newsroom floor at The Washington Post where this story unfolded link it strikes me with each viewing how well Pakula and team captured the spirit of Washington. It's a city so filled with secrets link it's almost haunted by them.

Taylor's next project is an ambitious one. He plans to link take a historic hi-beat flyback chronograph link movement apart redesign the bridges and balance components to make them better and spend roughly three months hand-finishing each movement. The case dial and hands will all be built around the link movement. It's a massive undertaking but it ties into Taylor's other near-term goal Educating folks and spreading his obsession.

I am link also pretty used to the Oyster bracelet variation link of this link watch and was happy to receive the lefty with the same. As much as I find the Jubilee design visually interesting I just think the case looks heavy against the GMT whereas the Oyster is a natural and classic fit for a Rolex sport watch.

This design element is still there of course in link other versions of the watch but it's less immediately obvious in link the enamel-dial models and in the Extra-Plat Squelette as well. The enamel-dial models also omit the power reserve found on other link versions of this watch.

Gerald came back with the six watches. It link was a major investment six link watches in gold for somebody who didn't have that much money. Mr. Hattori showed them in Wako and what was the response One of the Swiss brands said to Mr. Hattori 'You can't do that. Don't show these watches.' Mr. Hattori said 'Mr. Genta this is very disrespectful. You cannot accept that. You must link put your own name on them.

This episode features an extra-long interview that has been in the making for a very long time as Jason and James have an in-depth chat with the man behind the re-launch of brands like Doxa and Aquastar Rick Marei. The conversation touches link on a lot from the early days of online watch retail to how Rick's watch collection helped set him on a path of bringing us all some link of the best vintage re-issue dive watches link ever made.

While it shares with the previous model link a very supple wrist presence link the minimalist emphasis on case geometry has here been overtaken by the use of a more conventional finish which highlights the very unconventional look and feel of the watch overall. The individual facets of the case are now more directly perceptible as individual elements and the polished middle links on the bracelet now form a link dramatic contrast to the brushed surfaces around them giving a greater feeling of depth.
