SIHH Preview: Ralph Lauren Sporting Watch
Ralph Lauren has long looked to automobiles as a source of inspiration for his designs. For 2011, Ralph Lauren presents the first timepiece inspired by his personal car collection, with the introduction of a Ralph Lauren Sporting watch featuring a wood dial, recalling the refined interior of his model 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe. The new Ralph Lauren Sporting timepiece features a stainless steel case with a unique dial in rich loupe d'ormeor elm burl, in honor of this car's iconic wooden dashboard and trim detail. The warmth of the wood is contrasted by the dial's matte black galvanic center and by the black calf leather strap, reminiscent of the juxtaposition of the wooden dashboard and black leather seating in Ralph Lauren's prized vintage automobile.True to the car's original dials, this watch displays Arabic numerals for enhanced readability.

Hello guys,after my introduction yesterday I thought it would be cool, when we share our Panerais everyday in this thread. I think everyone will post pictures with aftermarket straps - Due to the forum rules:PLEASE dont post any link to the website of the strapmaker. Ask the member if you want to know where he has the strap from.I start with the beautiful 372 for todays dinner :)Best Regards from Berlinmays and anna

New Sub with 3235... Display back a possibility?
The 3235 is very beautiful as are all 3200 series movements. Can anyone foresee Rolex going with a display back? I would like to see it, but I doubt that it would happen as it would be a point at which water resistance could fail and it gets away from the Rolex tradition of solid case backs. Plus, even though Rolex's quality control is world class, why take the chance of a tiny dust particle being displayed prominently on the movement? To me, from Rolex's point of view, there are too many cons against doing a display back.I think we have all seen the aftermarket display backs out there for Submariners. Even the 3135 looks nice through a display back, but I am against aftermarket parts, so I would never put a non-Rolex display back on my watch.With the clone 3135 movements out there (I put clone in quotes because there are differences), A display back with a 3235 movement would be an easy way to tell the movement is genuine Rolex. But again, I doubt Rolex would put a display back
