I’m tossing around the idea of an early one or the modern one.

There is a guy in London that I know has one. His name is Charlie. Think he picked up one a few years ago Klosters in Switzerland. You can write to ask him about it:

Charles III,
Buckingham Palace,
London SW1A 1AA,
UK.

(Sorry, I don't have his email).

Unfortunately his is the chronograph… otherwise we’d be in touch.

My PF Sport arrived yesterday. Love the crisp, clean look of the dial. Texture is hard to convey with a pic but it’s all class.

Very good. Hadn’t seen one of these delivered yet. Great find

I think these are just great still.

Love this one. Great photo. What’s the retail on something like this ?

26,500 CHF ($29k USD)

I’m a big fan of the rose gold version but less so the price of it ($50k)

does anyone know whether these rubber/cordura straps will fit on the PF micro-rotors as well? Havent seen in person yet so dont know whether either the PF micro or the PF sport have quick releases?

[learningtofly]

Wonderful watches. I've only ever owned one, and not a hgh-end model (a Tonda Metrographe). I did like it, though.

Interesting thought. I have doubts as the pf micro is notably thinner.

Love the older Parmigianis.

I had asked Parmigiani "corporate" this when they were at the WatchTime NY show a few weeks back. They seemed a bit flustered by the question. (I'd noted that while the PF sport is a 41mm case vs the 40mm for the micro-rotor, the lug width is supposedly the same -- so it should fit, right?).

He said they hadn't tried mounting it before, so couldn't confirm; I had asked if there were plans to introduce a rubber strap to the micro-rotor, given that there's a gold PF micro-rotor with a leather strap (which of course would fit the stainless steel micro-rotor?...). He said he was unaware of plans to do so, as the design intent for the PF micro-rotor was to have a bracelet.

Anyway, as I was about to leave the booth, one of the guys stopped me, and said "ah, yes, the rubber strap & deployant from the PF Sport should fit the micro-rotor.. " and when I asked why, all of a sudden, he came to that realization... he said that a customer had fitted the rubber strap to the skeleton PF -- which is a 40mm steel case.

He added that the bracelets and deployants were not readily available, and might have to wait until next summer... Let me know if you plan to mount yours. I'm a bit hesitant to go through the trouble of ordering it, to find out it doesn't have an ideal fit!

When I asked if you could mount the rubber on the microrotor gold leather strap model their response was no

[ap1]

Just speculation on my part but sounds like these questions caught them off guard as their view may be that they know what look is best for their creations…..what they need, is omegas view which is sure we happy to sell you parts and clip our profit

wonder why that'd be; I had asked at a local AD some while back about plausibility of mounting a rubber strap on the microrotor, and they also said it probably wouldn't work. but then I asked if they ever tried, and of course they hadn't. (I respect that they wouldn't want to mess around with their new inventory, but still)

Still a great chrono

I was super underwhelmed with it in person. IMO the skeletonization looks kinda cheap.

The regular versions were great though. The bracelet and overall thinness is cool.

In the pictures this guy selling has the finishing looked rather pedestrian but I recall when it launched I thought it was finished every bit as good as the 15407 based on press photos. I’m confused what to think as I haven’t handled it.

I had the original and it was a great watch. I probably would have been a buyer around 30k and am glad it went for more.

I have a PF Chronograph (blue dial/bracelet) arriving today. I was told by my AD and confirmed by corporate that ALL the straps and bracelets for the PF timepieces are interchangable. I ordered the grey alligator strap with the steel deployant for mine and was told ETA 4 weeks.

I was also told by an AD very recently that the rubber strap from the PF sport will fit the PF micro rotor. Would you mind sharing what the component cost quoted to you was for the alligator strap + deployant?

I'm on the fence about ordering, as it was basically $1,400 after taxes ($530 for rubber strap; $800 for deployant). seemed a bit steep.

[Cayenne06]

Too many moving pieces in this trade to give you a specific price. It was part of the final negotiations. I was told a similar price for the clasp, never quoted a price for the strap.

Basically, the anglage/plates look quite thin in-person. If that makes sense.

[Cayenne06]

My chronograph arrived yesterday. Very pleased with the fit and finish, comfort and action of the chronograph movement. Previously owned a Metrograph, and I must say the PF is much more “High End”.

[ChaseATX]

Been on a smaller watch (for me) kick and hovering in the neo-vintage space. Grabbed this PF classic and it arrived today. Great next to the UN 386-88. More to come.
