Perrelet Launches Alternance 10 In-House Movement
Swiss watch manufacturer Perrelet has added its name to the growing list of manufacture brands with the introduction of an independently produced caliber, an automatic double-rotor movement called Alternance 10, or A10.Perrelet, named for Swiss watchmaking pioneer Abraham-Louis Perrelet, inventor of the automatic watch, has worked toward the goal of vertical integration since its purchase in 2004 by Spanish entrepreneur Miguel Rodriguez, owner of the Festina Group. The company calls the new movement “a decisive step on the path towards autonomous production.”As part of the Festina Group, Perrelet can take advantage of relationships with its sister companies in the Group, such as Soprod, IMM Ineltec, MHVJ and Astral, which produce various components for watch movements.

"New" Seiko Bullhead Chrono!
I've been looking for a non-franken Bullhead for about six months, and finally found one! It's still on it's original fishbone, and keeping great time (so far).

Pics as promised.
Here some pics of my purchases from my trip to Italy. Enjoy.

PP 5164 Comfort, et al.
Mates - I'm seriously considering the 5164 and read many conflicting posts on these topics. Specifically referencing the movement noise, is there anything else detracting about this piece ? I also swim occasionally and it would be nice with this on but I've read about the pushers as a deterrent. I'm sure they are sealed. Finally, how bulky is the piece ? I've owned a 5167 which was thinner and wondering if the size of the 5164 on rubber becomes off centered due to its heft or if it sits as comfortably and flat as my 5167 did. Thanks again for all comments !
