Breitling Emergency Model 2
This was brought up in a previous thread but I was wondering if anyone has this model? Or experience with it? I saw it in the AD the other day and was impressed, not by the size (which IS impressive) but the capability. Since it is now dual frequency, 406 and 121, basically anywhere in the world you activate the feature it will be picked up by satellites and quite possibly save your life. I do a lot of hiking deep in the mountains and always carry a satelite PLB with me for a life-threatening emergency, but there is nothing as convenient or as ready as having one on your wrist. I don't own a Breitling, and it is big and expensive, but if I were an Alaskan bush pilot, or forrest ranger, or anyone that spent a great deal of time in the wilderness far from help I would definitely get one of these. IMHO, Way to go Breitling!
Which Navitimer in summary
Hey Guys,I have recently taking a liking to the Navitimer. That said I prefer a smaller sized watch preferably at the 40mm level and defintley not exceeding 41mm.In the little research Ive done I note a lot of the modern versions are quite large and hoped the forum could perhaps summarize the models and options I should search for. I'm not adverse to vintage that said I can go either way, the only caveats are size and cost.Which vintage and which more modern version should I look out for and why?Thanks
A special watch and a special day:

The Decision Moment: 5146J vs. 5146R
Hi there,I have looked for an annual calendar. I concentrated on Patek's 5146 watch. But, I could not clarify which one should be yet.What are your opinions on yellow gold, or pink gold?Thank you.
Which Professional Model Sells the Most?
I was just curious if this sounds about right as far as which of the professional models sells the best. I realize Rolex doesn't publish sales numbers, but in general, I'm curious if this is the right order. I'm grouping all models of one family together, so Submariner includes date model, no date, two tones, solid gold, etc.1. Submariner2. GMT Master 23. Daytona 4. Sea-Dweller (including Deep Sea)5. Explorer6. Yacht-Master7. Yacht-Master 28. Milgauss9. Air-King
