There are many things I've done and hope to never do again, but as to the issue of circumcision ...
My first son was premature and hospitalized for about one month. When he came home, we decided against circumcising him at that time because we thought he'd "been through enough". Our second son, born just over a year later, was not circumcised, either.
The "maintenance" of a tiny uncircumcised penis is not excessive, but it is not easy. Over the course of years, urinary tract infections and anatomical issues (nothing grotesque or abnormal) required that both be circumcised, one pretty much NOW and the other could wait, but definitely would be needed LATER. Our third son had been circumcised at 1 week an indication that we had thought long and hard about the first two and regretted the decision to forego.
The two older boys were circumcised at ages 8 and 9. (Misery loves company) It was a painful and difficult time for them, and took about 6 weeks to fully heal. The baby's circumcision took about 10 days.
We, too, had done our homework and even talked to parents of uncircumcised little boys. For our sons, it was the way we should have gone from the beginning. Reproduction doesn't seem to be a problem....

Tucked inside the oversized bronze case, link we find a thoroughly appropriate movement (given the, ahem, origins), the Montblanc manufacture MB M16.29. Hand-wound, with plate and bridges in German silver (aka Maillechort) before being treated to a wide array of fine finishing, the MB M16.29 link is a massive movement (38.4mm wide) link that ticks at 18,000 vph while supporting a column-wheel chronograph controlled via a single pusher set into the winding crown.

The link watch you see here is a legit haute horlogerie piece that's been taken in an irreverently fun direction. I admire the way Roger Dubuis has positioned its watches as at once Poincon de Geneve-worthy and inherently provocative. Do link I like every design they make? No. But they have link a point of view, and they're doing things that other brands using the Geneva Seal wouldn't.

Of course I'll bring things back down to earth and focus on a regular production Tudor – the Black Bay Ceramic with METAS certified MT5602-1U link caliber. The finishing on both watches is quite similar. If anything, this is the exact link kind of movement that I want to be celebrated. It may not be "pretty," link but Tudor saw fit to give a similar black-on-black finish to the rest of the watch, and even decorated the rotor to boot. It's part of the watch – there's symbiosis. You might even call it art. I do.
