Story-1:: The Time Is Now
Overview: Watches & Wonders 2023 is the annual watch event. The biggest news is that the platinum Daytona now has...an exhibition caseback! This is likely (that we know of) the first Rolex sports watch to ever have an exposed movement. This is a big deal not only because it is Rolex, but this is a changing in time and I hope to see where else Rolex deploys exhibition caseback. I hope this is the driver to get me to buy my next Rolex.

Overview: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a visually stunning and action-packed adventure that blends elements of science fiction, fantasy, and action cinema. While it received mixed reviews from critics, it has developed a dedicated fan base and has been praised for its imaginative world-building and creative use of special effects.
