And so the wait begins...
Excit3d to have just ordered a new navitimer world, with white dial and brown Croc strap. Now starts the waiting game for it to arrive!!

Breitling Bentley Clasp
I noticed theres a differnce on the old clasp an new one. When did the new clasp come out (Breitling made for Bentley)? I think the old ones just say only Breitling. I had a dealer tell me the watch I wanted to buy was brand new but I noticed the clasp only said Breitling so I think he tried to pull a fast one on me Any experts here?

Because I��m a Sucker
I just could not pass it up. I originally wanted the white dial. But I love this strap. It's not small, but it wears super as it is significantly thinner than their typical case.

Extract of the Archives...and a speedy MKII
I picked up a MKII a few weeks back, it was in great shape and I got it for an even better price. Service history was unknown, but seller agreed that if it wasn't authentic I could return it for a full refund. Long story short, I sent it off to Nesbit's for a full service and authentication. Good news it was all Omega.I also wanted to pick up an extract on it from Omega and was ready to have a friend from Germany get it for me since the Omege site says they don't ship them to the US. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they will ship stateside, but only to a residential address. If you are interested in an extract you just need to e-mail their customer service. Added bonus, they are great to work with! So now I'm curious to see if this mkII is an original racing dial or a redial. I'll get some more photos up after I get her back from Nesbit's, and let you all know the outcome of the extract once I get it in.Obligatory wrist shot

Omega History Help
So I've been browsing the forums and internet crazily over the past few days and have yet to really find information that I can really believe. So I pose a few questions for you Omega Vets.What makes Omega a special watch?Where are they made in comparison to the Swiss Rule aka 50% and are the main components made in Switzerland and does it really matter. Is there a big difference between the automatic and manual wind watches.. do true Omega buffs look down upon those who have the automatic versions.If there is anything else I should know within the context of these questions that I may have missed, feel free to make note.Thanks a lot.
