Greubel Forsey & Philippe Dufour Present Le Garde Temps Naissance d��Une Montre Project
The centuries-old traditions and?know-how in?horology, as awe-inspiring, interesting, and technically unique as they may be, are feared to be soon forgotten, as?the newer generation �C the much needed "fresh blood" �C is hardly motivated to consider taking the long road that leads to them understanding, practicing, and hence, preserving these?invaluable assets. It is with this reason in mind that Greubel Forsey and Philippe Dufour conceived the?Le Garde Temps Naissance d'Une Montre project that was officially launched in 2012?�C?the fruit of an "obsessional desire to research, record, and transmit the techniques involved in traditional handmade watchmaking."Images courtesy of Le Garde TempsWe may as well stop right here for a moment. Stephen Forsey, Robert Greubel, and Philippe Dufour: these three watchmakers surely need no introduction to most hardcore watch enthusiasts out there.

Trading in my 2tone GMTIIC for AP15450
Hi TRF, Is has been a longtime since I post. I recently bought a Rolex Hulk and I don't want to have two Rolexes. The AP I like is the Royal Oak 15450 and I want to trade in my GMTII for it. The AP is pre-owned and cash from my end also.This would be my first AP and worry about service cost and reliability.What are the pros & cons of owning AP? Thank you for your time

Tried on the gold Sub and had the "buy this and we can get you the Daytona C" chat
First off, skin tone definitely plays a part when it comes to gold vs. rose. I love the look of the rose gold DD 40 with olive and brown dials, but for the life of my skin, it just doesn't work - it all gets washed out. Forgot to snap a pic of the DD 40, but got this picture of the beautiful 116618, which I'm hoping to make my next piece. Absolutely stunning.As for the Daytona C, when I mentioned that I was on the hunt for one, they immediately said that it wouldn't be a problem, should I buy this one from them. If they could get me the trusted seller price for the 116618, I would do it just to get my hands on the Daytona C, but at retail for the gold sub, it's just a bit too much.

Certificate Card Invalid
Hi everyone, It has been about 1.5 years I bought my explorer ii V series 16570 from its first owner. So it has the name of the first owner written on it. Yesterday I wanted to find a way to get rid of that name on the card and write mine instead. Since it was written with permanent marker I thought it would be easy to delete it with acetone. But after a very little attempt it has been worn of and I saw it was typed invalid under the sticker. Then, I read on some forums that this is one way of protection Rolex does for not to transfer the warranty of the watch to second or later users..So, my question is, is the certificate invalid from now on? If yes, what can I do?Thanks everyone..
