Introducing The IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar Digital Date 75th Anniversary Edition
Continuing the 75th anniversary of its Portuguese family, here we have the Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month from IWC. The name gives a pretty apt description of the watch itself, and if the Hand-Wound is a contemporary throwback, the Perpetual Calendar is a modern adaptation of recent design trends seen in the Portuguese family. The digital date and month display are nothing new to IWC, but this is their first appearance within the Portuguese line. Oh, and what is hardly mentioned in the press release, this is also a chronograph, meaning this is our favorite combination of complications there is. 2 OF 8 The Portuguese Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition "75th Anniversary" packages a familiar complication set-in fact, just last year we saw this very same movement come packaged in an oversized Aquatimer limited edition.

Headwind
Just looking a breitling headwind on e-bay. Nice looking watch. 2000.00 w/box papers on leather. Can anyone tell me why it was discontinued, and if there were any problems with it. I did ask for #'s under band, he said he does not have a springbar tool but looks like 18003 or 18093. I know nothing about breitling, just looks like a nice watch. Any advice. Do these #'s seem right!

Opinions on the Seawolf...
I am contemplating getting my first Breitling ...I am a WIS from when I was still very young, my focus is dive watches and have owned many brands...I must admit I never gave much thought about buying a Breitling...I don't really like how they seem to be fixated with aviation (especially in marketing themselves). I don't like busy dials and polished watches (so that cuts out 98% of Breilting watches for me) and I don't care about planes. I am a diver and think of me more as the 'marine' kind of guy...still I know Breitling makes some sturdy, well built watches that are definitely reliable underwater so I am thinking why not give the brand a chance...I have looked at the Superocean steelfish but cannot get around all that useless numbers and hash marks on the dial. IMHO they make it look unecessarily busy...I like the clean dial Abyss but then it doesn't have a lume pip on the bezel....so by default I am leaning more and more towards a stainless steel Seawolf which is slightly heavier an

Happy Birthday Gondolo..!
Treated my Gondolo Calendario to a little present to celebrate its 7th birthday.The watch came fitted with the 18ct Patek pin-buckle as standard, which I have always felt was penny-pinching by PP. I quickly fitted the strap with a Hirsch gold-plated deployant buckle and wore it that way for seven years.On my last trip to London, I picked up a new 18ct yellow gold Patek Philippe deployant buckle to complete my watch. Wasn't cheap, but hey, good old Mastercard, and I think it was worth it!Before, with the Hirsch buckle fitted...and now...Now back on my wrist!MW

Hello everybody, I am currently owning DJ 41 round bezel and tempting to get another one with flute bezel.

I am currently looking to add some more dress watch into my collection. Your comments are highly appreciated. Thxxxx
