INSTRUCTIONS:
Buns (original bun recipe in my cookbook):
Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine water and milk in a small bowl, whisk in yeast to dissolve, place in a stand mixer bowl along with the whole egg and egg yolk; mix on low speed, until combined. In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and amylase. While your stand mixer is running, add in your flour mixture, ¼ cup at a time, until all of your flour has been added.
Once it begins to form a rough dough, allow to knead for 2 minutes or until it begins to turn smooth. Then add your butter, allow to mix until fully incorporated, and knead for 5-10 more minutes or till your dough is very smooth and begins to pull from the sides of the bowl.
The dough may be a little sticky, which is okay. Roll your dough into a light ball, and place in a medium-sized greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and rise for 45 minutes at room temperature. Then place in the fridge for 1.5 hours and up to overnight.
Punch dough down to degass, remove from the bowl, and place on a lightly floured work surface. Separate dough into 90g pieces (about ten total pieces), spray two baking sheets with cooking spray, and lay down a sheet of parchment on each. Line each baking sheet with six metal 3.5-inch English muffin ring molds evenly spaced apart.
Roll all your pieces of dough into taught balls, and place them in the center of each ring mold. Spray the tops of your dough with cooking spray, lightly press each of them with a flat bottomed cup or container to get a thick disc. Cover each baking sheet with plastic wrap and proof for 1 hour at room temperature.
In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and a splash of water for your egg wash and place in a spray bottle (if you have one). Spray the tops of your proofed dough with the egg wash, or brush them if you don’t have a spray bottle. Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds optionally. Bake in the oven for 14 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through
Remove from the oven, immediately brush with melted butter, and optionally top with flakey salt. Cool completely on a wire rack and enjoy.
Dill Pickles:
Place the cucumber rounds in a large one and a half quart jar or larger. In a medium-sized pot, add water, vinegar, salt, and bay leaf.
In a piece of cheesecloth, add peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and dill. Gather up the sides, twist it to make a little sack, tie off the top with kitchen twine, and you should have a completely enclosed parcel of spices. Then place your parcel in the liquid along with the turmeric powder.
Place your pot on the stove over medium-high heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, take it off the heat and pour your hot liquid over the cucumbers. Next, add your dill and garlic. Allow to sit until that comes completely to room temperature and you have pickles. Store in the fridge with a tight lid.
Mayo:
In a medium-sized bowl, add the egg yolk, mustard, sugar, garlic, salt, and lemon juice, whisk together.
While constantly whisking, add the oil slowly, starting drop by drop, and then once it starts to emulsify, increase the speed to a nice drizzle while constantly whisking until all the vegetable oil has been added. It should be significantly thickened and look like a creamy mayonnaise. If it’s lumpy, then the mixture has broken.
Store in a closed container in the fridge.
Spicy Ketchup:
Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
Beef:
Form ground beef into one third-pound patty, slightly wider than your buns to account for shrinking.
Light up a charcoal grill and have one hot side and one cold side; once it is hot, spray with cooking oil and season your patties with salt and pepper. Next, place your patty on the hot side, press a small divot in the center of the patty, then grill that for about two minutes, flip it, season with salt and pepper, grill on the other side for two or three more minutes, move it to the cold side of the grill and repeat with all your patties.

There's also the US-centric matter of nicknaming the watch that ignores a lot of the scholarship that's happened in the East regarding the 6105. link Sadao Ryugo's book, The Birth Of The Seiko Professional Diver's Watch, is a great place to see how the collecting community and Seiko historians in Japan view link the important link highlights of the 6105's history.
So let's have a dialogue. We have been link working for link some time on a better way for us all to interact, so please feel free to drop link your feedback either in the comments, or you can e-mail us at community@ . For those that e-mail us, we will begin hosting bi-monthly meet-ups (by Zoom for now) beginning this Wednesday at 4:00 PM hosted by our Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Russell Kelly.
In this setup, which puts the focus on the dive watch first, you get the best of both link worlds. You get a tough, reliable, link and useful watch (both for when diving, or otherwise – this link being the core appeal of the dive watch) while also having the ability to easily manage a second time zone.
Until 2019, the movement of the 5711 had a problem, by modern standards: It didn't have a hacking seconds function to set the link time. link Okay, there was this "hack" – apply link some pressure to the back of the crown and it'd stop the seconds hand from ticking. But that's not quite the same, is it?
Revolution's Wei Koh was an early supporter of Furlan Marri and link introduced co-founders Andrea Furlan and Hamad Al-Marri to Montanari in 2021. I became more acutely aware of the brand partly due link to spotting two Furlan Marri pieces in Montanari's watch box at his home in Bologna in 2022. That was a big vote of confidence in my book. Now, the pair have teamed up for three column-wheel flyback chronographs, 300 pieces each, including 30 collectors box sets link of all three watches.
