Parmigiani Unveils New Bugatti Watches at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Parmigiani, the Swiss watch brand founded by watchmaker Michel Parmigiani, introduced two new collectors’ timepieces to its Bugatti collection, made in collaboration with the prestigious automobile maker, at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The timepieces �� a rose-gold version of the Bugatti Super Sport and a new titanium Bugatti Vitesse �� made their debut alongside a restored classic automobile, the 1935 Bugatti T57S Electron Torpedo. The event in Pebble Beach, regarded as the most prestigious of the festivals of classic automobiles held in the U.S., provided the ideal setting for Parmigiani to launch its newest Bugatti watches. The watch company, which was established in 1996 and is today part of Switzerland’s Sandoz Family Foundation, began its partnership with Bugatti in 2004, releasing such collectible timepieces as the Bugatti Type 370 and the Bugatti Super Sport, which debuted in a white-gold case in 2010. This year, Parmigiani releases a new Super Sp

Dumb AP Diver question from ROO Owner
Hi all - Haven't had the opportunity to hold in person the AP Diver SS (or any of the AP divers for that matter) - Can I get a brief explanation of the timing bezel. 1. It appears to me that it rotates internally, would that be correct?2. If that is the case is the crown at the 50 (10:00) Position controlling that function and is it a screw down crown - can it be manipulated while under water?3. Anyone have any real dive experience with this watch or is the consensus that you just don't go there with this piece. I DO dive with my Rolex Sub.Thanks!Brian

5726 vs YG SubC LN
I'm seriously considering trading my YG SubC to pick up a 5726. I'll probably need to give up my PAM 233 as well. I'm trying to find the happy place of 3 - 4 watches but for now I cannot. I can, however, justify trading some that simply don't get wrist time. Opinions are greatly appreciated. /R

New look - Thumbs up....or down?
Hello everyone here at TRF! I am a self confessed strap change addict. I think it's safe to say that many of you reading this share my affliction. Just this morning I decided to tinker around with my Aquanaut and see how it would look on a brown leather strap. I personally think it works great, but I wanted to put a photo out here to get the general consensus of all the watch aficionados here on TRF. So, what do you think?On the plus side, it adds a really sophisticated look to the 5167. Although I love the rubber strap, it does tend to keep the overall look of the piece in the casual wear category. I wear a suit and tie almost every day and sometimes have felt a little out of place with the tropical strap. Plus, I think the dark brown (with subtle black accents not seen in the photo) really allow the watch to maintain the sport heritage of the design while feeling right at home in more dressy settings. Those of you who have seen the 5167 dial up close know that it can change
