The Gagarin Tourbillon Watch
Ironically enough I was just thinking about BLU, and what ever happened to it? The cool high-end brand did some neat stuff with dials, but I haven't heard anything about them in at least a year or two. Well now I know. BLU's Bernhard Lederer is (BLU = Bernhard Lederer Universe) is on to other projects, and this is it - The Gagarin Tourbillon.To remind you, I last wrote about BLU here (about two years ago). Anyhow, on to The Gagarin Tourbillon. Yes, this watch is an homage to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. He was blasted into orbit via the Russian Vostok-1 rocket (Vostok is also the name of a watch brand but little coincidence!), and then orbited around a bit before coming back down. The Gagarin Tourbillon tries to memorialize this with a tourbillon that acts as a satellite around the dial of the watch. It travels over city names and places like the original satellite did. The tourbillon is a one minute tourbillon, and it revolves around the dial once each 108 minutes. Why 108 mi

PAM 441 and the ceramic bracelet
I have a 441 model with the OEM brown strap. I went to the Panerai boutique store in NYC to purchase the ceramic strap to replace the brown strap. I was told it is not possible and the ceramic strap will not fit the 441. So i purchased a black smooth leather strap and it looks quite good. However, as i browse TRF i have see a number of 441's offered for sale with the ceramic bracelet. I even saw the trusted DavidSW selling a 441 with the bracelet included as well as the brown strap. Can any one knowledgeable the model advise please? Thank you
