C3H5N3O9 Experiment ZR012 Watch In Black Zirconium
Last year Max Busser of MB&F was telling me about the C3H5N3O9 mini watch brand before it was debuted later in June of 2012. He didn't mention it by name, but did say that it was going to be a collaborative project between his team at MB&F and their colleagues at Geneva-based watch brand Urwerk. Together they were going to experiment on a watch designed by them both, under a new brand name, that was going to be marketed purely by word of mouth. That means no advertising whatsoever, and no media outreach (aside to select places such as watches-dealer). The irony to me is that given their desire for the C3H5N3O9 to be spread via word-of-mouth, they sure gave it a difficult enough name to remember. "Yea man, there is this new limited edition watch by MB&F and Urwerk. I don't recall the name, but it is the molecular name for nitroglycerine." Imagine a dozen more conversations starting like that.

New Breitling Rubber Strap
Just purchased a new Breitling rubber strap for my Galactic II and couldn't be happier. It is a very soft rubber and fits the watch perfectly. It feels like a whole different watch, much lighter and so comfortable. I ordered the blue to compliment the navy blue dial. I'm taking Mystro's advice and replacing the 22mm spring bars for 23mm. Plan to wear it on an upcoming dive trip to Bonaire. What do you guys think?

Help Identify this Patek Philippe mark
Hi Everyone,New to the forum so hello to every one.I have been trying to find out where this hallmark PP comes from, if it is direct from Patek Philippe, after market, or some rare mark.. The whole watch is white gold. The strap cant be detached from the watch.I have tried looking everywhere, have only seen it on the crown of a couple of PP watches. But nothing explaining it more. Please see attached pics.
