Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli Limited Edition Watch
A new Formula 1 driver -based watch from Audemars Piguet is this new Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli. Boy, it sure is nice, but looks very little like where these watches looked as though they have been evolving. It is possible that ending with the AP ROO Grand Prix, designer Octavio Garcia felt that the designs of brands race themed watches was getting too wild. While I liked the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix watch - it is safe to say that it is a controversial design. You can also see the AP ROO Rubens Barrichello II watch here (another F1 driver). Thus, it isn't hard to see were AP has "scaled back" the look of the design a lot. Emphasis is on the forged carbon case, high-tech cermet (cool metal ceramic hyrbid material) dial, and the titanium crown and pushers. In a sober looking gray, the Jarno Trulli is dressed up a bit with bright red elements on the dial.Actually quite nice, the watch is more simple and easy to read that its "cousin" pieces. Only gripe I have is

Formex A780 Watches For 2010
For 2010 Formex offers two versions of its new A780 watch collection. All are 45mm wide in interesting cases and come in a three-hand automatic version, as well as a quartz chronograph model. I have been a fan of Formex watches for a while - enjoying their "pure" feeling race inspired watches that have some fun tech. Specifically, Formex watches have patented shock absorbing systems that places the case on springs (so to say), this is meant to protect the movement during periods when the watch is experiencing harsh vibrations - such as during a track race, or anything else where shock and vibration is an issue. The case here is really interesting - as it is a complete mixture of square case and round case. See what I mean? The chronograph pushers (on that version) are meant to look like brake pedals - and the look is pulled off rather well. The final versions of the watches might look a bit different. For instance, the screws around the case on the PVD black cases might not be in black

Suddenly Every Black Zenith Daytona Is A Patrizzi
This phenomenon is amazing. Most of these so-called dials are as light as they were when they were new. There are some people out there with more money than sense and some unscrupulous sellers who perpetuate the myth.

Untouched (but looks crap) vs. Proper Refinish (but original proportions)
Want to hear your thoughts on the following, for your 60's-70s Vintage Rolex what condition would you want it in.a.) Untouched, but all scratched up looks like crap> This option is true to its originality but is banged up full of character but looks really beat up.b.) Looks like NOS but refinished professionally by LA Watchworks for example> This option is polished but restored / touched to original proportions and bevels. Looks brand new and all the bevels and chamfers are exactly proportional to if it was new.
