In-House Made At Parmigiani Watches
The sleek Parmigiani Tonda Hemispheres and a superb 1931 Bugatti Type 50SIn our first article about my visit to Parmigiani Fleurier, we covered the history of the brand, its strong connection with restoration, and we also discussed how the company strives to keep the watchmaking and restoring trades alive.?In this second segment, we will discover what it takes to make a Parmigiani watch by taking a special tour of the "Watchmaking hub" that is behind the brand. Officially called MHF (Manufactures Horlogeres de la Fondation), it is a network of five superb manufacturing sites, all primarily owned by the Sandoz Family Foundation, the founder?of Parmigiani Fleurier.Out of the five facilities, Atokalpa SA, is responsible for most moving parts, such as gears and pinions, as well as for components of the escapement, while Elwin SA makes balance shafts and other extremely fine parts. Without them, creating a true in-house calibre would not be possible. This time, however, we will concentrate

Newest addition to the club
Finally got my grail and joining the rest of you that already have them. I traded my 41 ROC rg towards the cost of it. Woohoo! Grail achieved!

Thoughts on PAM 312 or 372
I know they are totally different watches but I'm going back and forth between these two.I have tried both on and even thought the 372 is 47mm, it felt just as comfortable if not more comfortable than the 312 case due to the thickness/height.The manual wind also seems a little more solid than the p.9000?For people that have had both. What do you think? It will be my only Panerai for the time being. I like the simplicity of the 372 but do you find it to be too big for an everyday watch?Thanks for helping me make up my mind!

New Rolex Stickers
Hi looking for some advice please.I am collecting a new piece this evening to add to my collection and am very excited.I really want to try and keep it as new, but the dealer will not release the watch with the stickers on. They are saying that this is a Rolex rule.Is this true.I have never had this with PP or Tudor , but this is the first new Rolex that I have purchased in a long timeThx Scott

Finally picked up 114060 from somewhat local AD ...
Today was the day I finally made the 1.5 hour drive to pick up my No date SubC. Absolutely loving it & fits perfectly around my wrist. They had it on hold for me since right before Christmas and even received a discount to boot. I must say it feels great to actually purchase new with a warranty card dated with your name written on it vs a pre owned. I sold a pre owned 14060M which I did not particularly care for size wise & used a lot of the funds to pay off the balance of this one. Next purchase will be a new Hulk later in the year. A big thanks to TRF for all great research on this forum and looking foward to many more years to come on this great site.
