Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Retrograde Annual Calendar
Parmigiani Fleurier’s manufacturing team has created both hand-wound and automatic movements, including the perpetual calendar, tourbillons, an ultra-slim model, chronograph, the Bugatti and the Hemispheres, but an annual calendar was missing, until now. It appears in the Tonda collection in a case measuring 40mm in diameter.The new complication is based on the brand’s PF 331 automatic movement, with the incorporation of a new additional Parmigiani module, creating the PF 339 Annual Calendar. The Annual Calendar automatically accounts for the variation in the number of days in each month. Only one manual correction needs be made each year, (for the month of February in non-leap years). In a leap year, the date will display February 29 and will automatically advance to March 1 the following day.The Tonda Retrograde Annual Calendar features a hand which indicates the date from 1-31 on the retrograde sector on the outer dial. The day of the week is positioned at 9 o’cloc

Patek aligator strap
I got a new strap from my local Patek hq today.Very stiff still and priced to sell!Problem i discovered later was the print 'geneve' underside is very faint, almost missing, on a brand new strap no doubt.I sent them a pic via email indicating this immediately upon discovering this flaw. Yes i should have checked before i paid but i let that slipped.The hq sales personnel replied and said 'i know the print is faint but the strap is brand new'The strap is not cheap. Who else can i escalate this to?

Panerai 392 - What's your opinion?
Anyone here have a PAM 392? Looking for a 42mm/44mm, brushed case, sandwich dial, automatic, with date and think this will fit the bill. I have a small 6.25 wrist (flat however), and my current daily is a Rolex 116710 (fits perfectly). I don't like huge watches and think this might be a good compromise since I've been looking at a Panerai for some time. Anyone have one? If so, any regrets? Would you buy again? Attached a pic for reference!
