Archimede Outdoor watch
The newest watch from German Archimede is the Outdoor. It is an evolution on some past designs and fits a very specific purpose. To understand the Outdoor you need to look back to a watch that I believe was the thematic influence for the Outdoor, the Timex Camper. These are meant to be outdoors friendly timepieces that are easy to read and durable. They are not meant to be much more, and sit in a sort of functional minimalist category.Size is 38.5mm wide in nice looking lugless steel case. It is rather thin at just 10.6mm thick. The case and watch is meant to be light for a steel watch. According to Archimede, the watch is 120 grams on the metal bracelet, and 70 grams on the leather strap. This is for active people don't want a heavy watch and don't want to wear a plastic watch. In a nutshell, this is a German daily beater that won't complain when you beat it up.The case has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters. The black dial has white text for very high contrast. T

Re: Jarno Trulli LE
Hi Guys,I am planning to trade in my AP ROO NOv FC which I have had for the past 6 months now for the Jarno Trulli LE. I really love the FC and have enjoyed wearing this day in and day out.However, the urge to pick up something new has now arisen and I came across a mint Jarno Trulli at a local dealer... Would you consider this trade or should I save up and go in for a possible Red Gold or Schumacher later.Appreciate your views.Thanks,Abner

Opinions on RO Day-Date-Moonphase?
One of our trusted members has one for sale. I like the watch and the price seems fair. What I'm uncertain about is whether or not I really want this instead of a dressy Patek? Ultimately my decision, I know. Some thoughts:I love the Royal Oak design, and the price seems good for a complicated one.Case design similar to my Patek Nautilus (yay Genta!), and AP may lose the competition for wrist time.Nautilus is my only nice watch, and I miss having a yellow gold dress watch.Any advice? Is that AP model a good one? Would two Genta SS sport models make any sense in the absence of any gold dress watches?Thanks for reading my ramblings and responding.

Might be slightly out of date. List was printed 03.2014... was a bit in a hurry and scanner broke; had to take pics and didnt manage to rotate the last two... but I think you guys will manage

Back in the family
And feeling great so far.I mentioned to a couple of friends here in the Pam subforum that March would bring news... and here it is (with 3 OEM extra straps to boot)! I have only tried out the Asso so far (wearing it on that one right now), but the Ponte Vecchio and Black Bison are lined up for test drives soon.
