Cartier has replaced traditional metallic springs with fiberglass springs
Cartier has replaced traditional metallic springs with fiberglass springs, a horological first. Replacing the traditional metal alloys inside the barrel eliminates at least two problems that for centuries have been plaguing all mechanical watches: the uneven torque (from high to low as the spring unwinds) and energy-sapping friction between spring and barrel.

AP Royal Oak 15400 Lightshow III - Sundance
This is my third album of my new favorite watch. I simply can't stop taking pictures of it! This time, the theme is the light reflection under sunlight. I was told the white dial in particular looks spectacular under sunlight. Like this shot taken in my car : Just want to share. As usual, all pics taken with just my mobilephone camera. I will be using my DSLR later on, once I have master the techniques. Have a great weekend!

Left Rolex for Breitling, and couldn't be happier
Hey guys, just a follow up from an earlier thread I posted. I received my superocean steelfish this week. I'm a permanent Breitling convert. I was first of all taken care of more than fairly by Bernard Watch Co. I received a new in box w/ papers blue dial superocean steelfish the day after they received my subdate. I needed to get the bracelet sized so stopped by the AD and he confirmed the watch was produced on 03/10 and was within cosc specs. I also received $895.00 with it for the difference in values from Bernard Watch. I love my new watch. I do miss the subdate, but I am content that I made the right decision. For anyone on the fence about breitling I say go for it. Unfortunately my iPhone doesn't give me the option to post pics. Thanks to those of you who encouraged me to take the leap.

Datejust 41 vs Datejust 36
Recently I've been thinking about getting Datejust 36. There is a talk that DJ 41 is actually not 41 but somewhere near 39mm. So, does anyone has both watches to compare? I would be interested in 36mm but if DJ 41 is 39, I might try that one. Also, I'm expecting DJ 36 to get the new movement next year as there has been no upgrade from 2005(I think). Currently DJ 41 is best bet but if DJ36 is getting 3235 movement, I will go with DJ36. The color I'm interested in DJ36!!
