My First Breitling!
I'm the first to admit, I'm not a TRUE Breitling fanatic. It's through a weird turn of events that I ended up with this watch. There doesn't seem to be much info regarding it, other then it was produced for one year in 2004 and this particular model was limited to 100 pcs. It's a shame it's only 41.5mm, I wish it were 44mm, but I am enjoying it none the less. Plus it looks good in my watch winder next to my DSSD and PAM 270. Anybody know where I can get a new factory strap for a good price?

Most popular omega model?
What do you guys think? past and or present?

A long lost Patek Philippe
True Story:My grandfather bought a Patek Philippe wristwatch sometime between the 1930's and 1950's. I know nothing about it other than it was gold and it meant a lot to him. In 1980, he died in the hospital of complications from lung cancer surgery at 75 years old. As he was dying, he told my father that he had hidden the Patek in the attic of their home, and hoped he could find it. In 1982, my grandmother sold the house. The night before escrow closed, my father and I spent a long evening in the hot attic pulling various floorboards looking for this watch. We never located it. I was 10 years old at the time, and it furthered my love in fine watches.I have stayed in contact with the owners of my grandparents' house. They are only the second owners (built in 1926-27). I hope to be able to access the attic once again when they sell the house, and perhaps be able to find this elusive family heirloom/treasure. Perhaps it will be gone forever, perhaps I will never find it or have

Black concentric OP 36 at AD - is this a decent deal?
I wandered into an AD last night, and they had a new OP 36 with the discontinued black concentric dial. This has always been my favorite OP dial. They offered to sell it to me for $4900 (about 9% off MSRP). I'm not sure if this is a decent deal, or it's totally out of line for a discontinued dial? I also want to make sure that the dial is the only difference between this watch and the ones currently in production. Anybody have any insight? Anything else I should be wary of? Thanks in advance.
