Bulgari by Gerald Genta Octo Quadri-Retro Chronograph: A Quadruple Retrograde In Ceramic & Steel
While we mention Gerald Genta often on HODINKEE, it is rarely for the products produced by his former brand for Bulgari.? That's not to say these "Bulgari by Gerald Genta" pieces aren't interesting, they are - they simply have no affiliation with Genta himself.?Irrespective of that, this new piece is pretty bad-ass.? Constructed in steel and ceramics, the Octo Quadri-Retro Chronograph features a quadrupe retrograde (minutes, date and chronograph hour and minute counter) and a continual jump-hour at 12 o'clock.? With the hour at 12 and the chronograph seconds at 6, the hour is never blocked ensuring great readibility.The dial itself is one of the piece's strong points: Using cloisonn�� technique, it calls for a number of successive stages �C including milling the recesses into which the lacquer is applied, varnishing, smoothing the surfaces, refiring the lacquer and polishing �C resulting in the creation of a totally unique dial.Add all that to a little bit of Genta octagonal goodness

Contemplating my first Patek
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. As the title indicates, I am looking to buy my first Patek Philippe and have settled on a 5711. The particular one I am looking at right now comes with everything that you would get with a new purchase. However, as evident from the pictures, it has a few scratches on the bezel. Since I have always been into collecting vintage Rolex, I would appreciate your opinions about the said scratches. .chrono24.in/patekphilippe...-id5757884.htmAny other insights would also be infinitely appreciated.

Corrigia roger blue strap
I must say I had this strap in mind before buying my 1499. Seems to go well with the white dial and blue seconds hand. Custom made in Germany, ordered on 1/5, arrived today.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone intending to buy the new Blue faced bedazzled Submariner
I see there is a new sub in the offing that isn't that well publicised yet. Blue bezel similar to the white gold sub and encrusted in blue precious stones.Has it tickled anyone's fancy here ??It's not my cup of tea tbh
