Newest addition.....
Picked-up the RG Unitimer this afternoon, to add to my Breitling collection..... I'm really liking this watch, though it is a little large at 46mm, it wears nicely.

Fathers Day gift
I just recieved my 2nd Omega Seamaster. The first was a PO but it was sold last year. SUnday I reciebed a 2256.80 45mm Seamaster. I love the blue dial and 45mm size but...it's quartz. Oh well it still looks great and it went RIGHT INTO the pool yesterday. Here is a crap cell phone pic until I can get more up. I would love to hear from other 2265.80 owners.

Why do they not make the JV strap in 22x20 and what OEM strap is this?
I have been loving my 512 and looking for a new strap. I love the JV but they don't make it for the 512 in 22x20. Doing some searching I found this. I know David very well and unfortunately he sold the watch a while ago. He is going to try to find out what strap it is but he knows it was OEM. The strap looks very close to a JV. Did Panerai make one and now it's discontinued? Is it something different that just looks like the JV? The only other thing I could think it was is a cut down JV to fit. If it's cut down how hard is it to do that.

Going to Aruba soon - any advice on ADs?
Hi All - Heading for a vacation in Aruba soon, wondering if anyone has done business with ADs in Aruba, and if there are any tips, or salespersons in particular that are worth seeking out. Any thoughts/advice appreciated, thank you!

New Day Date & Stick/Lume question
Took me a while to get round to it, but finally posting about a new (BNIB with stickers) day date I acquired at the end of last year. It's a white gold 118209 that I'd wanted for a while, and had to give up my 3-watch SS rolex collection to get it (together more cash than I would have liked to make up the difference) but absolutely no regrets so far, and it's a watch I hope to wear for very long while. It's from around 2008 so has the newer bracelet/engraved rehaut but when I decided to change out the dial from silver to black, I ended up going with with the older stick/baton dial design, rather than the newer dials that have lume as markers. This may seem an odd choice to some but I had a old 5 digit datejust for about 10 years and there's something I really like about the classic/timeless style of the old stick dials, and also given the watch itself is white gold I though why not be consistent. Saying that I do like the presence/stronger impact of the lume on the newer dials too. J
