C3H5N3O9 Experiment ZR012 Watch In Black Zirconium
Last year Max Busser of MB&F was telling me about the C3H5N3O9 mini watch brand before it was debuted later in June of 2012. He didn't mention it by name, but did say that it was going to be a collaborative project between his team at MB&F and their colleagues at Geneva-based watch brand Urwerk. Together they were going to experiment on a watch designed by them both, under a new brand name, that was going to be marketed purely by word of mouth. That means no advertising whatsoever, and no media outreach (aside to select places such as watches-dealer). The irony to me is that given their desire for the C3H5N3O9 to be spread via word-of-mouth, they sure gave it a difficult enough name to remember. "Yea man, there is this new limited edition watch by MB&F and Urwerk. I don't recall the name, but it is the molecular name for nitroglycerine." Imagine a dozen more conversations starting like that. C3H5N3O9 is also a disaster to try and say out loud.I'll give it to the guys that "

Diver has landed ahead of schedule!!!
Hi guys...Sharing my joy with you all again...As most of you know that last month I bought my self a diver which I ended up passing on to my friend in Colombo on our GTG...

Good source for deployant straps that are non Breitling?
Hi there,I have an Avenger Skyland and it currently has a croc strap on a deployant. The strap got wet and is a bit beat up...I need a new one but Breitling charges way too much for one.I've seen some on the bay by a guy named Bob but they are leather not croc...Anyone know a good place to order a quality think strap that fits the breathing deployant?

Is it really impossible?
Hello All,This is the first time I post here on the Patek section but I've been following it for some time.I've been trying for a while to source or at least have my name put on the waiting list for the 5711 (blue dial) but was never really successful. So I decided today to call as many ADs as possible. I went on the Patek website and got the number of their ADs in Europe, Middle East and Asia. I ended up calling more than 50 ADs and I only managed to have my name put on the list in 3 or 4 stores (including the Geneva salon)!!!!! And the waiting time is 3-5 years! Add to that I think the ADs that took my name will never contact me. I know I still have the USA ADs to call but to be honest I got tired of the same answer and I think the situation will be the same in the USA. How can this watch be that hard to get? I see it all over the internet (mainly instagram) and I wonder how is everyone managing to buy it! I know I can buy it from a grey dealer but to be honest I find it ridiculous t

Adding a little yellow to the rotation...
Well... I have been hanging out with VC way too much. I have been in search for a 5970J for about 3 months now. My search concluded today. I only found 3-4 5970J’s readily available and for sale in the world on this search. In contrast, I came across ~15 5970P's. If anyone wants a P let me know. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to add the P to my collection one day as well. I saw some good deals on pre-owned P. Many G’s and R’s were offered. I am not kidding. But for now the J is the latest addition!I want to thank SteelerFan and VC for their help. It is really nice to add the old (5970) to the new (5270). And some J to my G... I am going to have to agree with hutchman, the 5270 is a more advanced and exact watch from case to movement. The 5270 represents the present and the future. The 5970 represents the last of the past. And the J is fitting to me because it is the most “classic” of the 5970 references.About the 5970J… It debuted at Basel 2008
