Opinions on Breitling Chrono SuperOcean
Tried two on today. The blue dial with white subdials and the silver dial with blue subdials. Very substantial watch at 42mm and heavy as hell. The silver dial really smiled at me. 4165 msrp, first offer 3500 from AD. I think I can do better but the recent price increase was pretty substantial, old MSRP was 3540. Anyone out there have experience with the chrono? Thanks,

Hello...now help me decide.
First let me say hello. I've been a lurker for quite a while now and enjoy browsing on this forum. Let me first start by saying that I am an Omega FREAK!! I've always loved the Planet Ocean series. From the calibre 2500 to the current 8500. They are just awesome. I have finally reached the point in my life where I'm ready to take the plunge and get my first real timepiece. After lots of researching and countless trips to the A.D. I have narrowed my selection down to just a couple. I believe that the watch I will be buying is either the Omega Chronograph 9300 or the Omega 8605 GMT. Both watches are unique in their own way and I'm not going to go into the differences because you all know what there are. My question to members on this board is which one would you choose? I look forward to the discussion that ensues and everyone's answers. I know that either watch I choose will be a great watch, just don't want to have any regrets. Thanks Dave

5205G Arrived
Just received this morning. Used to own this model, traded it for the 5205R but missed it so much I bought another one! Will add more pics later.

My first Panerai - An Object of Italian Design
Hello Forum members! Over these past 3 or 4 weeks my son's, who both have Panerai 111 timepieces, have given me the bug to buy my first Panerai! I frequently travel to Firenze on business and unfortunately it never occurred to me that I could have visited the original site of where Panerai started. During a recent trip to France, a co-worker had on a GMT that he bought years ago before they became popular when he was working at my company's manufacturing site in Firenze. That event, coupled with my son's influence, I ended up buying the model 512 you see pictured in this post, along with my other Italian prized toy.

Should I sell...
Hello, all:Being that this is Rolexforums, I suspect I already know the answer, but...Would you sell/trade a Tudor Black Bay Noir (ETA) against a new Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT (SBGE001 or 201)?I've been intrigued by the SBGE001 for several years, but I never had the opportunity to see one in person (closest Grand Seiko AD is 4 hours from me). However, back in November, I had tried one on at the NYC Boutique and I can't get it out of my head!I don't necessarily need to sell the BBN to finance, and the BBN has been a great watch. My only complaint is that the bracelet clasp is a bit of a hair puller, but otherwise it's been nearly perfect.The problem is that, in terms of a daily-wear rotation, I am a two-watch guy at most. My other watch is a Speedmaster Professional that will never be sold. Given that the Spring Drive GMT has the same water resistance as my BBN (and could therefore be my default water watch), I think the BBN might be rendered redundant. In fact, I think the SBGE001 c
