Nice, congrats! I think they kind of nailed it with this. One article I read said that the GT line is being discontinued to make way for this. I wonder if that's really the case.

I hope they sell the rubber strap for the PF sport line separately. Would be great as option to change up occasionally.

There is an article on Hodinkee JP (can use the translate option:

https://www.hodinkee.jp/articles/int...tonda-pf-sport

Seems like the new tonda pf sport line looks very similar to the pf line at first glance, would be hard to tell the difference between the two. Even though PF sport seems to have bigger crown, bigger PF logo, smaller date window, different dial guilloche and of course rubber strap. Maybe the PF Sport will only come with rubber?

Another pic of the PF Sport from the Oster Jewelers website. Several more if you go there and you can zoom for better details on all 4 models.

Is there a reason why they are not marketing this outside of Japan? I couldn't find any article on this except with the one above. Embargo?

There are many things I like about this, but an integrated/proprietary strap with no bracelet option is not one of them. Also don't like the date wheel execution. I look forward to seeing where this goes though.

New video with Guido on the Parmigiani home page discussing and presenting the PF Sport. I think they hit it out of the park personally.

I want to love the PF Sport, but the positioning of the date window on the date-only model feels like a dealbreaker. I love the choice to replace the marker at 6 with the date on the Tonda PF models, surprised they didn't consider similar here.

Confused by this critique. The PF also has a date above the marker at 6, just like the PF Sport. Am I missing something?

On the PF the date connects to the 6marker (and even seems to clip off a bit of it). On the PF Sport the date is positioned to create more negative space between it and the 6 marker.

Very nice. What is the dial color like in person? In renders it looks silver, but in photos it looks decidedly white. Even kind of a creamy white. Wondering if it's the same color as my white/silver dial GT, which I think looks more silvery in person.

It leans heavily towards decidedly white for me in most lighting. On occasion I can see where you would call it creamy white.

This piece is a home run. Listening to the hi-beat movement is quite a treat too.

Here it is next to the silvery white dial of a 5270-018g

That looks good and surprisingly slim/tapered! Love how it's such a quality piece which I would expect flies under the radar to most. Wear in good health

Very slim on the wrist.

Won’t be many people that know this one. The rubber just makes it so much fun for the weekend.
