Got my first Breitling!
Hey all, Thanks to everyone on the Forum (especially Tim) who had helped me and gave me advice on where to look, my first Breitling had finally arrived this weekend, and it is AWSOME! The only downside is that I now have to try really hard to stop myself from looking at my watch all the time :) I've tried to attach some pics, but for some reason my files won't upload, if anyone could tell me how, I would be happy to put them up!

Calatrava?
There are no screws on the back of this guy so I can't open it up to get a reference number. But it looks like a Calatrava from the 60s, no?Bracelet is stamped 18K. There is a little bit of yellowing on the sides but obviously white gold that has aged.

Complicated Patek or Rolex Comex?
I have been thinking about my next acquisition and it really comes down to two options. I have recently shifted much of my collection to PP. I just did a big trade consolidating several watches for a new 5970J . I have been thrilled with the result. The 5970 may be the perfect watch. It's the perfect size, the layout is legible, the look is extremely elegant and the quality is remarkable. I have also been wearing other PP's as daily wearers. Nevertheless, I have always wanted a COMEX. I love the Sea Dweller and the rarity factor and romanticism of the extreme divers watch has always captured my imagination. I know it only a dial and caseback but it just is really the only Rolex now that interests me along with other rare models like the Omani SeaDweller. Which would you guys lean to in the next round of insanity? Thanks and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all....

My Panerai 2013 SIHH conclusion .... FROM HERO TO ZERO !
I always was a big fan but that changed last year.I decided to wait another year.Now I've seen enough. No more for meLast year I did not understand the 424 and 425.These 2 dials were once real Limited editions ( PAM 249 ) On top of that they made the 448 and 449so re-editions from re-editions This year it even got worseMust be a good feeling if you bought a 25K 399The PAM 364 ... Again as a LE ?The new Bronze ... unbelievbleThe 508 .... uhhhh next year with power reserve I guess ?I ordered nothingCancelled something I was waiting forAnd will sell a few I ownnever been that much dissapointed

Marks on Jubilee Bracelets?
Hello AllAs per the picture of the Jubilee Bracelet could you let me know if the black marks or dirt between the gaps (not really sure) are normal? Or could this have been caused by over polishing? The watch is just over 2 years old and I am planning to purchase (pre-owned Date Just 116200)Thank you very much for your comments.
