Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec II Marks 10 Years of the TravelTec Family
Time flies �� especially when you’re watching three time zones at once, apparently. It’s been 10 years since Carl F. Bucherer introduced its first TravelTec watch, equipped with both a chronograph and triple-time-zone display. At Baselworld 2015, the brand commemorated the occasion with the launch of the bigger, bolder Patravi TravelTec II.Two main aspects distinguish the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec II from its predecessors, the original TravelTec and the skeleton-dialed TravelTec FourX. One is the case size: CFB has made the case larger (47.7 mm in diameter compared to the original’s 46.6 mm) and slightly thicker (15.9 mm, up from 15.5 mm) �� a somewhat bold and contrarian design choice for this era in which so many watch brands are opting to go thinner and more understated in their next-generation line extensions. The other major change is on the bezel, which now serves as the hour indicator for a third time zone; previous TravelTec models kept the bezel clean

Artya Son Of A Gun Watches Use Real Bullets
Yvan Arpa's newest concept for his Artya brand is combining bullets and watches. The result will be a new series of strictly piece unique watches that somehow combine guns and timepieces. This one (called the Sun of a Gun) literally takes bullets and sticks them in the dial and the rotor. I am sort of surprised nothing like this has been done before. Maybe people are gun shy?According to Artya the first piece in the Time Shot (eventually called Son of a Gun) collection was commissioned by a collector. In a sense, the concept is a metaphor for what time is - a killer. There are a whole range of such "morbid" watches. A good example are those from Mr. Jones Watches that have hands which literally remind you that you will die. Nothing more uplifting that remembering that time is running out for you each time you check to see if your meeting is about to start. I suppose that type of messaging is good for the perpetually unmotivated who need some extra help to get stuff done.Using the stand

Omega X-33 Question
My Omega dealer has a brand new 3290.50, AKA X-33. Any thoughts on this watch? I kind of like the looks and the idea altogether, but what is the resale value of this? Any chance of it being a collectible?EDIT: Oops, misleading title! Can't ammend it, mods please?

Trade my 5146J for 5726/1A (white)?
Hi GuysI'm considering whether should I do the trade up? What are your opinions?Deeply appreciate your views and opinions.

5167 and....
Hey TRF:The only two watches in my current collection are the PP 5167 and the Rolex BLNR. I feel like those two provide me with a nice balance of Rolex/Patek, color, steel/rubber, extra complication, etc. Even though I like the BLNR, the 5167 gets the majority of the wrist time. I absolutely love the aquanaut!Every time I look at a picture of the 5711, I'm in awe of it's beauty. If I traded my BLNR, do you think that it's redundant to have the 5167 and 5711 as my only two watches? They have the same movement and other similarities, but I think they could also be an excellent compliment to each other.To help you give me feedback, I'd like to let you know that 1) I really don't have a practical use for a watch with a lot of complications, and I really have no use for a dress watch, so sport watches appeal to me most 2) I'm in my late 20s 3) I would trade the BLNR for 5711 and would have to add ~$15k which is obviously a lot of money.Soooo should I keep the BLNR, keep cash, and enjoy m
