Customize and Revitalize Your Watch With A New Strap Or Bracelet
H-R Breitling-Style Genuine Alligator Watch StrapMost people cannot do much on their own to customize the watches they own. Changing the hands, or colors are beyond our ability both in expertise and the tools we have available. This can create a problem for the creative among us who really want to make watches "our own."

It didn't make my heart race.Then I tried the 5711 white. I absolutely loved it and was also being offered a very good deal on an 1 month old extremely mint one.I was really close to pulling the trigger, but I haden't tried the blue dial before, and that's why I was hesitant. I needed to know.Today, almost 2 months later, I finally was able to find a 5711 blue in the flesh, and though it is a close call with the white, this one is the winner for

Going for gold...
Hi allHope everyone is well. Next year I am planning on adding a Rose gold watch as I don't have any gold watches in my collection. Here are some photos of watches that I am considering. I am rather smitten with the 5119R at the moment (pic is of my wrist) Please do present other suggestions from any brand as long as it is Rose Gold and within similar budgets of the watches I am considering.
