Watch & Car Art Together By French Artist Philippe Burlet
French painter Philippe Burlet knows his way around a brush as well as cars and watches. Burlet's medium of choice is watercolors, which he uses to aptly recreate the essence of sport racing and the watch loving spirit. Although relatively obscure in the United States, Burlet is a favorite among European motor sports enthusiasts, who often commission work from the talented painter.Burlet was not always an artist, but lived a life around automobiles. Somewhere in the mix he developed an eye for watches and seemingly became fascinated by their connection to fine cars. Burlet has a penchant for painting Ferrari cars both new and old. Though he does of course recreate other automobiles in watercolor as well.His art featuring watches portrays them in a larger than life manner, appearing bigger than their accompanying cars. This interesting practice serves to emphasize the shape and function of the watches as opposed to their status as timepieces only. This type of work can only come from so

Introducing: The New Zenith El Primero 36,000 VPH Classic Cars
This year Zenith has released a whole new group of new watches, including the new El Primero 36,000 VPH Classic Cars chronograph with newly finished dial. The brand is making a point to keep their prices conservative and this piece is no different, at just under $7,000. 1 OF 2 The Zenith EL Primero 36,000 VPH was originally released at Baselworld 2013. The watch was a huge hit and continues to be one of their most popular models. The original 42 mm stainless-steel chrono featured the traditional tri-color dial with El Primero automatic caliber 400 B movement. This year's release features the same case with the same movement but totally new dial. 2 OF 2 The new dial is an anthracite tri-color dial that features brushed engine "Geneva stripes." The subsidiary dials remain the traditional light gray, dark gray, and blue. This watch is incredibly cool in person and maintains the cool factor that we so loved by the original 36,000 VPH.This watch retails for $6,9

Should i give up on blue??
Hello TRF and AP fans.Ive decided to add an AP RO 15400st blue dial. Made a deposit more than 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately my dealer has exhausted all his sources from HK and SG in search for the blue dial. Since its the more popular and a boutique exclusive among the 3 i knew from the start it would be a challenge to get my hands on this color. For the past few days since we still have no leads where to get one ive started to consider the silver dial. Since i dont have a silver/white dialed watch yet this can be a possible fallback /substitute. Although im 3rd on a list for the DaytonaC so another white incoming soon. My current watches are Black TagH Grand Carrera, Black SS Daytona and Submariner LVC.I still have till march 12 before giving up on the search and get back my deposit. Question is: Should i settle for the silver dial or keep waiting for the blue? Has anyone experienced a similar situation and had regrets or satisfaction with the switch.Thank you!Sent from my SM-N9208 using

Daydreaming about PCCs again...
As between 5970G and 5970J, which do you prefer and why?A few personal thoughts:1. 5970J appears to have been the least produced having been in production for only 1 year and with approx. 450 produced vs. approx. 850 of the 5970G.2. Yellow gold feels more vintage and timeless. White gold is more versatile and may stand the test of time better. 3. Yellow gold might have more character as opposed to white gold.
