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

OT: AP 44mm Rubber Strap Trade ?
Mods please advise or move to another forum if you think I am in violation of any rules.I own a 44mm RG offshore and have the regular size rubber strap for about a month. I would like to trade this regular size rubber strap for a small rubber strap in case someone is interested.Thanks

Still undecided
Sun was out yesterday here in UK so popped into AD to try on the Bee

116500LN in action! Pic heavy!
Spent some family time in Porto Rico for spring break with the family. Did some light cave exploring, beach time, dinners and down time. It was nice to travel with the Daytona and take a few pics along the way. Hope you enjoy the show!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
