I wanted to share some useful information for anyone planning to leave their car for a while, especially during summer. I did some research on preventing battery issues during extended parking and found a really clear guide that explains the science behind why batteries die when cars sit unused in our heat. It covers practical solutions like using a solar charger or simply asking a friend to start the car once a week. It also mentions that even disconnecting the battery isn't always straightforward with modern cars because of all the electronics. Definitely worth reading if you're heading off on holiday soon. I feel much more prepared for my trip now.

For Petronzi, meanwhile, TrueDome was born of a different need, but one that's equally important for vintage collectors: a diminishing link supply of original plastic crystals. Large brands like Rolex have become link increasingly strict on access to service parts, making it difficult for collectors who need a replacement crystal link for their vintage Rolex. He acknowledges that it's a niche concern, but for the hardcore collector community, it's important.
