Beyond the Business
Off the Beaten Path
Every shop has a few links that aren't about the business at all. These are the ones that live on our office computers.
Weekend Garage
Between service calls, the wrenchers in the shop plan their next build over at the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association — the events are half the fun, and the advice boards are genuinely useful.
The Watch Corner
A couple of us have been chasing Patek Philippe pieces for years. While the budget says "not yet," we keep an eye on the Patek Philippe replica scene — the finishing on the newer pieces is hard to argue with. If you're after the icon specifically, most of the conversation starts with their Nautilus replica line.
