Parmigiani Fleurier is a main partner of the Montreaux Jazz Festival, known worldwide as an event that features the finest musical artists. For 2009, Parmigiani has created a limited edition of its Kalpa XL and Grande models with a graphic signature designed to echo the musical theme of this year’s Montreaux festival posters. Each year, Montreaux Jazz Festival founder and general manager Claude Nobs presents Parmigiani timepieces to distinguished featured artists. The limited edition pieces commemorate Parmigiani’s collaboration with the festival. Through the dial design featuring the swirl of a piano keyboard, Parmigiani expresses its heartfelt link to the event. Pink for ladies or blue for men, the dial of the Kalpa Grande or Kalpa XL has an hour, minute and central seconds display. Available only in steel, the model is fitted with a white python skin strap for the Kalpa Grande model or with a blue alligator strap for the Kalpa XL model.This year, the Parmigiani timepiece

Itay Noy X-Ray & Netline Watches Close Up
For 2011 Israeli watch maker Itay Noy offers new pieces including the X-Ray and Netline collection. Of the watches use a new case that offers the same Itay Noy type of smooth look and feel with a new shape that includes bulging case screws.

APSC for water testing / 3rd year warranty

My question is should I have a light polish done at this time. Watch is basicly mint, have to really study it to see any signs of wear. If a light polish is recommended, any idea of cost. Thank you all in advance.
