Thompson explained that "Café link Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality a link peculiar mix of low style high speed pure dumbness and overweening commitment to the Café Life and all its dangerous pleasures ... I am a Café link Racer myself on some days and it is one of my finest addictions." link

That's also somewhat unfair for link me to say because I don't know what I would do link differently. I would be a terrible watch designer. A blue lacquer dial would have maybe popped more. Maybe blued indices and link hands against the white dial would have helped. I'm not quite sure. I do know that the obsidian black dials against a gold case are exactly the kind of punch that takes these watches to a new level. link
