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

Bernhardt Binnacle Retro Review
Bernhardt is one of those cult brands that people simply love. As you can read in our brand highlight on them from a little while ago, it's a small family run brand that puts an emphasis on customer service and the relationships they make with customers. In that way, they really are unique, even amongst the boutique brands, having the feeling more of a local corner store than an internet based company. The watches themselves are very modestly priced for modern day mechanicals, most coming in between $259 and $459. As such, they have a big following of devote fans who collect their affordable dive watches.Their newest watch, the Bernhardt Binnacle Retro, is also their most expensive at $679, which is still lower than where most brands start. As the name suggests, this watch is based on vintage divers, mainly of the 60's and 70's, by featuring a barrel case and dual crown design. It also features a Swiss made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement inside, where as their other autos have Miyotas,

Schumacher: Ti vs RG
Ignoring prices and differences in size of limited editions, I am curious which of these two Schumacher designs (Titanium or Rose Gold) people prefer based on aesthetic appeal.There are great pics in this thread to look at in order to make a decision:ap.watchprosite/show-foru...773/ti-821803/

Christmas Gift -- 5088P
I wait for 9 months before I receive the watch. It is a special watch for me.

Which would you take to Vegas?
Hello TRF! Let me start by saying I recognize BOTH of these watches will work perfectly for the vacation I'm about to take. That said, I've decided to take only one. So with that in mind I would like your thoughts about which to bring along on the journey....Before I tell you which 2 watches I'd like you pick of, let me tell you about the vacation. It's basically a few days in Vegas doing the usual touristy stuff, some casino time, and relaxing by the pool. No clubbing or elegant evenings out. Very low-key. Then headed to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon for some outdoor adventure. It should be a great time and I am really looking forward to getting away.Now for your choices.......#1) Rolex Submariner date#2). Omega SeaMaster Planet Ocean in titaniumOnce again, there really isn't a wrong answer here. But I am on the fence deciding between the two but only want to bring one. So whichever gets the most votes gets to join me on the trip.Thanks in advance for your thoughts an
