Watch Insider Unveils 3 New Breitling Watches
This is what I would call a nice line extension. In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I offer a look at three newly released Breitling watches (or Instruments for Professionals, as Breitling would call them): the Breitling Transocean Chronograph Edition, Breitling Chronomat 44 Raven, and Breitling Galactic 44.  The Breitling?Transocean Chronograph Edition plays with the history of Breitling. Inspired by a model from 1958 (an ultra-precise, anti-shock, anti-magnetic and super-water-resistant watch that was released during the boom in intercontinental air travel), the Transocean reflects the spirit of great journeys and luxury long-haul aircraft. The watch features a two-tone dial with two vintage-style counters, and a double caseback complete with a cover.

114210 Air King bracelet - Hollow links?
Hello everyone,New comer here with a newbie question. I was in Tourneau today and a 114210 Air King caught my eye. When the sales person brought it out, it felt much lighter than the current production 114200 oyster perpetuals. The person said that the Air King has hollow links. Is this correct? I thought Rolex used solid links after 2000s. Based on the serial number, this was produced 2006/2007. Thanks for the info.
