Baselworld 2013: Breitling Emergency II
If you were an owner of the original Breitling Emergency watch, then you're?probably?the sort of person that engages in dangerous activities that leave you with a higher than normal chance of being stranded in the middle of nowhere. For the people that need this watch, and perhaps for others who live a normal lifestyle but are a little paranoid of "what if" scenarios,?Breitling has just come up with the Emergency II.The brand new Emergency II watch adds new features and at the same time takes away the perceived weaknesses of the original. You see, the original Emergency had a 121.5MHz transmitter that, when activated, had a range of??90 nautical miles (167?km) by search aircraft flying at 20,000 feet (6,000 m). This was assuming normal conditions, or basically flat terrain or calm seas. If you found yourself outside such conditions, then the range would be considerably shorter.Add to that the fact that the Emergency didn't have enough power to send the signal up to a satellite, but onl

Perrelet Jumping Hour Watch For 'Non Conformists'
Perrelet watch company's new marketing message is that Perrelet watches are for non conformists. That is easy to say, but I like the message. It says me that they don't want everyone wearing their watches (Rolex) they want just a select few who really 'feel' when they experience what the brand has to offer. It is an interesting approach, but I think it works well for them.Perrelet is a brand that I think I am going to increase my coverage on. The brand has a very long history, but I am going to focus on their more modern offerings for the most part. Today I want to share with you their Jumping Hour watch. The design is really classy. With an avant garde circles withing circles look, and a resemblance to Jaquet Droz's designs that emphasize the seconds dial.The reason I really like Jumping Hour watches is their convenient simplicity and ease of use. To tell the time you glance at the digit in the hour window (for the hour), and then observe the position of the minute hand. It reduces th

WOW!! Just got my used Bond Seamaster
Its my first modern Omega, and I have to say I am really impressed.The whole watch oozes class, way better than any foto can make it look, good weight and really heavy feel to the bracelet.I have it on a Nato at the moment as I don't really like the bracelet, a bit too bling. I have a mesh on the way.I was expecting it too be nice but not be blown away. I bought this to use as a daily beater, to be beaten, not worn at the office 9-5. I feel guilty about doing that now.Sorry about the quality of the foto!

Proud Owner of an Omega
My first ever Omega, and my first ever watch that cost over $2000. .omegawatches/index.ph...s=1&no_cache=1I will take pics and post later. Honestly, I was saving up for a Rolex SD but when I checked this out, I was in love instantly. Bought it spanking new from the boutique in NYC. Great service, and reasonably priced. I know an Omega won't hold its value like a Rolex but I'm not buying to sell.However, will still save up for a Rolex.Does anyone else own this watch here?

Was the Submariner case changed for 2018 or not?
I thought I read something about slimmer lugs and a redesigned case profile, but can't find it. I'm assuming there has been no change or it would've had a lot of attention. Is this correct?
