For 2013,?MB&F announces this new limited edition version of the Horological Machine No 5 (HM5) watch in 18k red gold. watches-dealer reviewed the MB&F HM5 watch here when it first became available in 2012. This fifth edition of the Horological Machine legacy is inspired by driving watches (and cars) from mostly the 1970s. The wedge-shaped case displays the time on the side, visible through a sapphire crystal prism that magnifies the hour and minute indicator discs for increased legibility. Originally in all zirconium (similar to titanium) this new HM5 RT version comes in a case using parts made from 18k red gold as well as titanium.For a longer discussion on the HM in terms of both inspiration and technical features, please reference the above review article.

Thoughts on the MMT Swiss Horological Smartwatch Platform
I'll admit that when I saw that Frederique Constant was announcing a smart watch platform, I was dubious of what they might show. This has nothing to with FC specifically, I quite like the brand in fact, but more that a brand with a fairly classical approach to watch making, a brand without any tech to show, not even a digital watch in their current line up let alone anything with software, was delving into "smart territory" just seemed off. I thought to myself, how on Earth is this Swiss brand going to make something competitive, something more than a momentarily news worthy item that would quickly be overshadowed by Apple or just forgotten as a novelty (remember that Gilt Smart Watch?..), a misguided detour in territory they didn't belong.Well, what they presented was extremely surprising in many ways and ?intriguing; The MMT (Manufacture Modules Technologies) Swiss Horological Smartwatch platform… Which actually is a company as well as technology, but more on the former later.

Pam with "OPEN" warranty card vs. warranty card with name?
Does it play an important part when you are looking for a SE pam? Say, if there is a PAM 448 or PAM 449 selling at 12k with an open warranty card vs. a 11,500 with a non open card. Which would be your choice?

Rolex Bracelet Questions
I need to add one link to a few watches. Yacht-Master 16222 and 16220, Milgauss 116400, and Explorer II 216570. Would a more knowledgeable forum member please let me know the parts I'm looking for? Can I use a link from a newer-model PCL YMII in the Milgauss? I understand that my 16610 has a different bracelet than the 216570, so I guess I'm wondering which bracelets use which links.
