Richard Mille Introduces Another New Material to Watchmaking
Richard Mille has long been known for using unusual and often unprecedented materials in its timepieces, many drawn from the worlds of automobiles and aeronautics. Now the brand has announced another horological world-first ¡ª a case made of NTPT (North Thin Ply Technology) carbon, to be used in a new version of the brand’s RM011 Flyback Chronograph watch.Richard Mille has reached into the world of nautical technology for its newest material. NTPT carbon was originally developed for the sails of racing yachts. Sails manufactured from it are highly resistant and light, and have been used in vessels that won regattas. The composite material, which is composed of multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibers, has also been used for Formula 1 car chassis for the last two racing seasons, and in aeronautics for the fuselage of the future Solar Impulse 2 aircraft.The surface of NTPT carbon displays a distinctive undulating pattern, similar to a wood grain, form

My Second Hamilton
After getting my Ventura XXL, I started browsing through the Hamilton catalogue and ended up loving the Hamilton lineup. Then it turns out a watch shop nearby carries Hamilton and I ended up looking at them. Well, last week I went back to the shop and ended up getting the X-Wind with CF face and strap. I also got a second strap which is the leather of the older version. I will have to switch it and take pictures to compare.Side by side with the Ventura XXL.And for those wondering, I picked up this on Monday.And this one yesterday. :)

Patek vs. Lange
Not my intention to get folks riled up over this, just hoping we can have a nice objective chat. Of course I'm well aware of Patek's history and why people love them, but I'm also aware of Lange's existence and can't help but wonder why someone might chose a Patek over a Lange. I'm hoping you more experienced folks can help me understand. A Patek will likely always win out insofar as bragging rights go with the general public, no doubt. It's got much broader recognition, while Lange will only really be recognized by true horology buffs, but is brand recognition the only reason to buy a wawtch? To me, Lange's, while cheaper (relative to the comparable Patek), seem to feature finishes and movements which are just on another level. But I aspire to own both and am not bashing Patek in any way, just trying to understand each brands place, especially when they offer several similar offerings.

Rare Nautilus - 5711J
A friend of mine has the 5711J. I tried it on recently and it was really nice, I especially like the classic white dial, gold case and brown leather strap combo. It's a great dressy sports watch imho. He might be willing to sell his so I am seriously thinking about it. Here's a pic I found.

GMT 16710 bezel change
Hi all. Quick one please. I have just swapped the Pepsi bezel over to a new black one I purchased. What is the metal ring under the bezel that came off when changing please? And do I need to put it back? All of the videos I have watched don¡¯t seem to show this ring. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
