My Dad's Breitling
I have my Dad's Breitling, Navitimer, of course it's not working but it is from the 1950's or early 1960's. On the case it's stamped Breitling, Stainless steel and the number #806. Of course it's a chronograph, the dial is black and it looks like the hands and hour markers at on time might of glowed. I would of asked about it years ago but I just happened upon it today when I was cleaning out a cabinet..........If anyone has any information I would appreciate your thoughts, comments and input!!!I did Google Breitling-Navitimer and the dial configuration matches the dials from 1954 to 1955 with the AOPA incorporated in the Wing on the dial with the Breitling name on the back of the case with the number #806. The Breitling name does not appear on the dial just the name Navitimer above the bottom sub-dial.......

PO 42mm weight : is it really unbearable ??
Unfortunately my relationship with the amazing IWC Galapagos is not working as expected so I've decided to put it for sale and go back to a more simple watch,just plain steel,time and date.I already own a Sea Dweller,wich I admit it took me quite a bit to get used to it's weight. I'm finely tuned with it now and I barely remember it's there,do you think I may noticed the further weight increase wit the PO (42mm,bracelet) ??A lot of enthusiastic reviews on the web about the PO,but the weight issue is something always mentioned.Wrist test at ADs has been done several times,but you know the feeling...when you are at an AD most of the times emotions take over and everything seems perfect....

The time has come...
For the last 5 or so years I have longed after a Panerai. It was a struggle to figure out which one I wanted, you have to admit it is a big confusing if you don't know much about the brand.I joined this forum after I purchased my first real watch, a Rolex Sub 16610. My father had worn a Sub since the day I was born...so, I had to have my own. I still have his, it was left to me after his passing. I believe it is a 5510...not sure.Anyway, the time finally came for me to get my first Pam and I decided on a Base 000. The simplicity of the timepiece is what attracted me. Since the first day I planned to purchase one, I knew, because of this forum and the posts that I would be purchasing it from DavidSW...It is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, trust there will be some photos. Many!

SS Models Sighting...
For anyone looking for either a Sea Dweller or used GMT Master II (Pepsi), these are being displayed on the window of JUWELIER L��CKER in Aachen, Germany. The use Pepsi looks immaculate and they are asking 8,500 euro for it. It appears that it is in consignment to this AD. If it wasn't that I have just pull the trigger on a BLNR last week, I would have seriously considered this opportunity. There are also other SS models available and even a few Daytonas.
