Gradually phasing out white diver. True?
Went to the AP boutique today and was told that the white/silver dial diver reference 15710st.oo.a002ca.02 was being phased out. They still had it in stock but no new ones were coming in as opposed to other dial variations. It will be replaced as the white dialed 15710st.oo.a010ca.01 will take over. I guess time will tell but have you also heard of this ?
Star Wheel. Anyone have one?
My dream watch has always been a Star Wheel. I thought the concept and complication of the triple dials was fantastic. I first saw the watch in a watch trade magazine in the '90s. At the time, I was not in a position to purchase one, now that I am more able, I cannot seem to find one. Does anyone have a line on one? I am not really particular whether it is yellow, white or rose. Thanks, Robert
First Post - Just a few Q's
Hey guys i've loved Breitlings for a long time and usually don't wear watches at all.. But i'm single was nerdy for most of my life and have a few extra dollars to throw around for a nice watch... i've been reading posts from 2006 and on, and am getting kinda confused on what i really want now. So here it goes.. I need a nice everyday watch that i will take off while working at my restaurant or my other desk job(yes 2 jobs :), (some customers dont like to see you wear nice things) But that can take a beating, meaning that i know how much it costs BUT i really don't care if i nick a doorway and hit the band, and to also not fall apart if i do hit something. No diamonds or blinged out.. but a watch that people will think it's nice.. BUT then say... OHHHHHHH it's a breitling... or ohhh it s a rolex? niiiiice. I figure i'm single have a good job.. why not.. stop spending it on gadgets (chicks don't dig it as much lol)Im thinking of starting out used as i haven't worn a watch in about 8 yea
Finally a decision!
I have been agonising over which Patek to go for and have finally reached a decision! Wow, it's been tough!I started off wanting a 5726. Then I decided that the 5764 was more realistically within budget. Then I fell completely for the 5990 which blew my mind, and I decided I'd find the money! But then someone mentioned the 5980, and that's even better!!But...I want my first Patek to be a keeper which means (a) getting one I can afford to keep if things get a little tough, and (b) getting one that suits my small wrists.So, the 5990 and 5980 are out as they are both probably a touch oversized for my wrists. Some will disagree, and of course I could get away with it (I have an AP Diver!) but my personally view is that whilst tool watches can be oversized, I think sports watches should match wrist and general physique size.I love the 5726 and the idea of the annual calendar is appealing. But...the 5712 has suddenly come from nowhere to win the race!! I'm not sure whether it will be the Ste
Tudor Black Bay Purchase
I've been browsing these forums for weeks and I'm finally ready to purchase a Tudor Heritage Black Bay. The AD near me has both ETA versions and the in house available. I'm not going to ask which is better I like both. I'm worried if I get the ETA I'll be disappointed I didn't get the newest version but at the same time I enjoy some of the aesthetics of the ETA and yet I do enjoy having the latest tech. How should I decide?
