To celebrate, Porsche Design is releasing four new watches: a limited-edition model of its very first product, the Chronograph I, and three new additions to its Flat Six collection.The limited-edition Chronograph I features a matte silver-gray case and bracelet, replacing the matte-black color scheme of the original from 1972. Most of the other details remain the same, including the black dial; the type, hands and bar indices filled with white luminous substance; and the red central chronograph hand. It is identified as an anniversary edition by the “40Y” immediately beneath the day/date windows at 3 o’clock.

For months I've considered upgrading my meager two-watch collection, currently comprised of a stainless steel Breguet Marine and a rose gold JLC MUT Moon. I've initiated several forum threads during my search and have received many kind replies from TRF members.I initially focused upon a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date because I had the opportunity to buy a new one from an AD at a reasonable price. But I wasn't sure how the Day-Date would fit into my collection and which occasions might be appropriate for wearing a Day-Date. Is the Day-Date a flashy casual watch, a flashy special occasion watch or just over-the-top flashy? Don't get me wrong, I really like the Day-Date and often wish I owned one but, on the other hand, I'm not absolutely sure it fits my self-image. But if I did buy a Day-Date I would keep my other two watches.I eventually realized that I could buy a Patek Philippe for the money I was about to spend on a Rolex. With the guidance of forum members I discovered the b

Remembering my first and celebrating my last Rolex
I was never really into watches or in fact any form of jewellery. My first watch was a birthday gift Timex which I wore as a child for a few months before losing it. The second watch I ever bought was a Longines lady quartz watch for my wife in which to celebrate a new job, she loved it and wore it every day and when I got and even bigger break in 2008 I vowed to get her something more expensive. This was my first introduction to Rolexmmedia/Mobile%20Uploads/22E6DFBC-7CE1-40F6-928B-423D34C224D5_zpswzx6m95s.jpg.html" target="_blank">18months later she persuaded me to get a 116234 and whilst initially reluctant to wear anything on my wrist I, after 4 years of daily wear therein started my journey with TRF and luxury watches. I've had the good fortune to own and wear many fantastic brands and still own some today. In a collection of 8 (2 of which are owned by my wife) I/we own 3 Rolex and 5 other brands. 3 rolex keepers from a total of 12 Rolex and 22 other brands that have passed thr

Got a DJ41....guess I was wrong.
My first Rolex....love it...DJ41 with Jubilee and fluted bezel....Rhodium (stunning)...I convinced myself I could wear it anywhere, at anytime before I bought it.Now I know it is really shiny but that may change over the years, but as of now, I see I was wrong in thinking I could wear it at all times and it not look or feel too dressy. So I am now thinking I need a Sub for when I am unshaven and in VERY casual clothes....I know they are $7,500 to $9,500 for a new or slightly used one. I sometimes see a $5,500 used one on this and other watch forums, but I don't quite know enough to know if I should steer clear of anything less than say, $7,500.FYI, I stayed away from Sub's to begin with, due to my many Seiko's that I thought would serve the same purpose and of course still do, but I really like how I feel when I wear a Rolex and want to have that feeling, even when I am uber casual. So, any advice on how to find a $5K or less quality Sub (meaning no service needed to feel comfortable
