Parmigiani Fleurier And Bugatti Lifestyle
Every year, for one week, the beautiful Pebble Beach area is home to the most comprehensive and extravagant multi-show for car collectors and car enthusiasts on the planet: The Concours d'Elegance. What makes this super show special is that there is something for every car lover: from concept cars, to modern marvels, to the supercars, and the wonderful race cars of the past and present.In 2014, Parmigiani Fleurier?celebrated 10 years of partnership with the French (now German-owned) car manufacturer Bugatti, who makes some of the most coveted supercars in the world, most notably, the world record holder for fastest production car: The Bugatti Veyron. Since Pebble Beach is a short drive from where I live in Silicon Valley, I was more than happy to make the drive to spend a few days living the Bugatti and Parmigiani lifestyle, in what I found to be?one of the most beautiful places in the world.What follows here is a short report on this "dream" lifestyle from my experience at the Concour

My Extraordinary Christmas Present!
Some of you may have seen this post on another forum. If so, my apology.My wife had my father's watch restored for me. See the before and after pictures below. This is a 1952 Seamaster Calendar in 14 KT gold. The watch was restored at Omega in Bienne and took 13 months. She won't tell me how much it cost!Hope you like it.Wishing everyone a spectacular holiday & New Year!Joel

Warning... Panerai Service (TX) returned my panerai with case damage...
Heard a lot of bad things about the service center in TX. Despite hearing all the bad things about them, never thought they could botch a simple bezel replacement (deeply scratched my 8 Days bezel on cement and nobody else has OEM bezels... ). Anyways, got it back and while the bezel looks great and the polish job is excellent (they even removed the screwdriver scratches from frequently changing straps), they left a pretty deep / gnarly set of DEEP scratches on the back of the case right near the screwdown back ... like someone was trying to unscrew or pry the back off with a pocket knife ?? clearly happened pre-polish so obviously not shipping/handling issues.Not even sure if I'll even send a complaint... I'm not planning on ever selling this piece (still love it).... or getting another Panerai ever again for that matter .
