Photo Report: Inside The Breguet New Bond Street Boutique In London
There are few watch manufacturers you expect to have a boutique in the prestigious Bond Street district in London, but Breguet is definitely one of them. The boutique was reopened in May of last year after undergoing major renovation, which doubled the floor space to 190 square meters. 1 OF 38 2 OF 38 The mixture of walnut and granite encourages a very warm and intimate experience. The building itself is extremely old and had to be reinforced with steel in order to be kept standing. Accompanied by modern glass walls and cabinets, this design is truly where tradition and history meet the present. 3 OF 38 Walking up to the second floor, a private viewing room offers a relaxed and intimate atmosphere for clients wanting to have closer look at the timepieces. 4 OF 38 The third floor houses a lounge area with a small library. The open fireplace and surrounding seating give the room the feel of a luxurious modern Swiss chalet. 5 OF 386

I'm back!
Not that I ever left but last year I sold my only Omega, a 2255.80 electric blue SMP300. I regretted it almost immediately - I don't really recall why I felt the compulsion to sell it. It was one of my first nice watches and a real tool watch. Recently I'd been thinking of getting another Omega and the new blue ceramic SMP was very interesting. After seeing one, I decided it was too much like my Rolex 116619LB and I really just wanted my old watch back. So I made an offer to the buyer and I got it back!! It hasn't been touched and is still operating at 1s/d. Great to have her back on my wrist!

AT and leather strap
Hi all,I have an Omega Aqua Terra mid size chronometer (231.10.39.21.06.001) with the steel bracelet and I'd like to replace it with a leather strap with deployant clasp (similarly to how AT could be also sold with). Can you guys help me identifying what parts I would need to order on OFREI or similar sites? Probably I should have bought the watch with the leather strap to start with... it seems it is quite an expensive add-on...Thanks in advance!John

Need your advise
Thinking of taking my 5726/1A to local PP service centre for check-up before warranty expire in a few months. In case any fine-tuning is required, at least I can save a chunk of money now. Would you do this?Had the watch since 7/13 and worn it only a few times.Thx for your advise.Eddy

Anyone have a Patek Tropical Strap break?
It is rubber after all, at some point it has to disintegrate. I wonder what the lifespan of them are.
