Breitling Emergency II Watch Featured In Top Gear's Last Aired Challenge
Being both a full-on watch and?car nut, you can imagine my surprise when in season 22 of British motoring show Top Gear I saw an entire "challenge" featuring a Breitling?Emergency II watch. Sure,?it is not unusual for watch enthusiasts to be car nuts as well �C I have met countless watch nerds over the last few years who, after a bit of conversation,?showed their car lover side as well. Top Gear is a?motoring show that needs no introduction to any car fan in the world: viewed by around 350 million people every week in over 170 countries around the?globe, it features "three middle-aged men mucking about," driving in the latest and greatest sport cars, SUVs, luxury sedans, and, sometimes, in the worst machines the car industry has ever produced throughout its history.Given that vast audience in the hundreds of millions, Top Gear may seem the ideal vehicle (pun intended) for product placement.

My A.P. Royal Oak

Going to Kuwait for a year and need a new Omega GMT
Guys,I am going to Kuwait for a year and would like to purchase an Omega GMT. I need suggestions. Also it will need to be something that looks good on a NATO band as I will be installing it on one. Also it need to be waterproof to at least 100 meters. I love Omega's but just do not know them well.Any suggestions greatly appreciated.I have my Speedy, but don't need a Tachymetre as much as the GMT while there.

Does anyone here own a 42mm oro rosso Panerai?
Either PAM336, 439 (what exactly is the difference between these? They seemed identical to me when I viewed them in person), or 513?I have a 338 Titanium and love the size.

S/S Sky-Dweller 2nd favourite colour dial and why?
It is my considered opinion that fans of Rolex watches, believe that the blue dial S/S Skydweller is the favourite - similar to the DJ 41. It is also recognised that this particular configuration is extremely difficult to obtain.But which is the 2nd favourite colour and why?What made you choose one variation over the other?Perhaps you prefer either light or dark coloured dial or that one is more easier to read.I would be most interetesd in reading your thoughts, especially from members who have gone through the same thought process.Of course, it goes without saying, that photos are a necessity of each thread, so please feel free to include some.:thumbs:
