RO or Sub for a college kid? :)
So, I work as a professor at a small private university abroad. The institution is well-known locally to be elite in nature to the degree that it seems every third 19 year old is sporting a stainless sub they probably got for HS graduation. The other day I am giving an exam and I look down to see a kid furiously writing with a basic 41mm Royal Oak on his wrist. I'll admit I was a bit disgusted at first....but then gave it some thought. The kid probably chose this watch knowing that VERY few of his sub-wearing buddies would know what the thing is.

Need Help with a Breitling Navitimer from experts
HI:I'm looking to purchase my first Breitling. I really like the Navitimers. I'm looking at the following two model numbers: AB012012/BB01 AB012012/BB02Can anyone tell me the difference? I don't see the one model on the Breitling site. I have several Rolex and Omega watches, but I don't know much about Breitlings.I purchased all of my other watches from ADs but I was looking at these on eBay. The vendor is Authentic Watches and has over 10K feedback. Are fake Breitlings a problem? I know you need to be careful with Rolex. Thanks in advance.........Regards,Dennis

All this Omega talk...
... made me want to take a pic of a watch with something other than my iPhone lol. Since my iPhone was getting lonely, I used it to snap some pics of the setup.

It might be time for an explorer.
So here's the question. I am finally thinking of adding a nice explorer to the collection. I have always wanted to add one, but something else always caught my eye. Of course, my AD has two ready for me. For the TRF crowd, which one?
