Dominique Renaud Joins HYT Watches
Earlier today at the new HYT headquarters in Neuchatel, the "hydro-mechanical horologists" announced that concept watchmaker Dominique Renaud? (the "R" in APRP) would join the team as head of the?Fine Watchmaking department - presumably an arm of the company involved in items such as the HYT H2 watch and what is meant to come next.In case you're wondering who on earth Dominique Renaud is, his last name should ring a bell. A graduate of the National Watchmaking School of Besan?on back in the 1970's, Dominique went on to work as a watchmaker at Audemars Piguet. While working at their skeleton workshop, he met another talented watchmaker by the name of Giulio Papi. Both having a thirst for working with complications, they decided to leave Audemars Piguet and set up their own manufacture, Renaud et Papi. With a mission to come up with totally new complications and build on existing ones (this was back in 1989), it didn't take long for their former employer to take interest in their work.In

Trading my PO for a Rolex?
Hey guys,Just put a thread in the For Sale section here on TRF as I am seriously thinking of getting back in to Rolexes again and wanted to see what kind of offers I would get for my PO... what do you guys think?

Do you think it's possible that Rolex is going to start doing more complications, maybe start to expand their Cellini line?

YM + Everest Band
I just received my everest black strap with tang buckle and it is amazing. The quality is top, the comfort is amazing and I love how under the radar my watch is right now. It's amazing to have 2 watches in one now. Everest has confirmed my thoughts on what would be my perfect watch, a steel sports rolex on a rubber strap (oysterflex), I'm still waiting for it but for now this is my solution. I wanted to share since I have not since this combo anywhere. I really recommend this strap.Obviously I'm keeping my Oyster but I'll use it for special occasions, everything else is for the everest.

New Sky Dweller in steel looks like a DJ41
For me the new SS Sky Dweller looks a lot like a DJ41 because of the Stick hour markers, why on earth would Rolex do this? Why not leave the Roman or Numerals on the dial! It's such a beautiful watch in PM! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
