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.......

First Omega advice please.....
Hi all.Considering diversifying a little from Rolex: I have the opportunity to purchase a new Omega from a UK AD at a great discount (family in the business) and would be interested to know what people advise as a keeper/daily wearer.I am drawn to either a Speedy or Seamaster and would value peoples advice on what best to spend the money on.I'm in the habit of wearing six digit Subs or Exp2 so something similar, but maybe a bit more dressy. I prefer a steel bracelet. I do care about retained values to a degree so something that is going to keep its interest over a few years, and provide some investment potential.Any advice appreciated

And yet another first time Omega owner
I've been collecting Rolex for quite a few years now, both new and vintage, then also bought new Tudor but for some reason Omega never really sang to me.I started to look for a new Rolex but with the near impossibility of buying a SS Sports watch from a UK AD, I was looking at an AD's near empty Rolex window, when I saw the Omega display next to it. As soon as I saw the Planet Ocean I was blown away.As has been commented on by other first time owners, the box is better than Rolex and the quality and finish of the watch is incredible. It is great to have a watch with a completely different set of styling features, including thick polished bevels on the sides, a ceramic dial, lume in blue and green, a movement that can be seen through the case back and with METAS certification which is +0.5 secs per day.It's now got me looking at older models and a Speedy Reduced may well be next in a few months.It's great to post as a proud owner in The Omega section of the forum

Anyone going to Basel?
I'll be in Zurich Monday to Thursday. Might have to make a day trip to Basel. Never been to the show. Do you have to be connected to get tickets or can anyone go?
