Project X Custom Rolex Daytona 'Paul Newman' Tribute & Other Colorful Variants
The Project X DS7 Custom Paul Newman Rolex Daytona and the other, colorful variations (Project X DS4, DS5, DS6) are as though?some of the pieces from our "Watch What-If" series became?real. I mean, sure, there are some varieties and colors to be had, but with certain brands, you are just not likely to see something that is, shall we say, a bit wilder than the rest of the lineup. Rolex?is a perfect example of this:?despite the seemingly massive interest in newer designs, unless you head to some of the aftermarket customizers, you will not be able to get your hands on a lime green Submariner (and perhaps that is for good reason) or a "tribute," vintage-inspired Rolex straight from the company. The chaps over at Project X, an independent company providing customizations to original brand manufacturers' watches, have tackled a particular Rolex that we do not often see customized: the Rolex Daytona.Apparently, this is not their first rodeo with the Rolex Daytona either. Back in 2010, they h

Watch Spotting: Roger Dubuis Wearing A Roger Dubuis Sympathie Bi-Retrograde Perpetual Calendar Moonp
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the Roger Dubuis manufacture outside of Geneva and had the double pleasure of meeting Mr. Dubuis himself. After touring the manufacture and learning of the rigorous processes behind the Poinçon de Genève standard, we were led into a large conference room with a sweeping view of Mont Blanc and the not-yet-completed Richemont Campus Genevois de Haute Horology. When Dubuis entered the room – situated quite literally at the crux of the old guard and future of the industry – one of the key things on my mind was what was on his wrist that day. 2 OF 4 The 37mm case sits elegantly on the wrist. The Roger Dubuis Sympathie Bi-Retrograde Perpetual Calendar Moonphase was introduced around 1995-1996. The 37mm stylized cushion-shaped gold case appears baroque, but not in an offensive way. On the off-white dial, the real features of the watch stand out: a minimal moon-phase complication at 6 o’clock with a s

Patek's platinum case finishing
Hello Everyone,i was wondering did anyone also noticed that the polishing finishing on the platinum cases are different then the gold versions ? Especially on some of the cases with sharper lines/angels like the 5070 and 5975 cases.Here you see a big difference on the WG and PT versions of the 5070. The PT even looks like a polished used case compared to the WG. You can notice this on every picture of the 5070P comparing with the gold versions.And here a comparison of the 5975P with the 5975G also less sharp polished.But if you compare it with Rolex Platinum versions, for example the Platinum Daytona compared with the WG version. The PT Daytona even looks to be beter finished then the gold versions.Maybe this has something to do with the hand finishing of the cases at Patek ? Because platinum is very hard to work with. But for a brand like Patek and the money you spent on the PT versions, you would think of a better finishing if the cases ?Still love the brand and most of the time the
