Opinions on the Montbrilliant Moon phase line please
Hi, I was looking at the Montbrilliant lineup with Moonphase that was discontinued in 2010. Any idea how good/reliable the movement it uses is (think is Breitling 19) since have seen some complaining about it being expensive to service. I read it uses a modified ETA movement so that means is not an inhouse Breitling mechanical movement right? I thought Brietling had started manufacturing their own movements in early 2000 through a Swiss factory they setup.Also saw a place mentioning the watch having water resistant problems although is marked as 30m water resistant, could anyone throw some light on that?Lastly any wrist shots would be much appreciated,Thanks

Speedmaster Date 3513.50 Question about Service
Watch is about 15 years old - this will be its 3rd service (last 2 were through Omega in Beverly Hills and it has been 5 years since the last one). It was losing about 20 seconds/day, so definitely due for service. Omega website says $675 for basic service. The list below is quoted by Hyde Park (Denver) at $760. Is there more on this list than would normally be required? Polishing is another $150. Any concerns about Hyde Park?

Anyone else curious about a Rubber strap for SD43
I know, I absolutely enjoy the bracelet on my SD43 and don't think I'd end up putting on a Rubber strap...but, I am curious to see what they do with it as it's taking a while for it to get released. Wonder if it'll have a special striping or something similar to what I've seen for the D-blue. So far, I haven't seen anything from Everest or RubberB, though RubberB at least has the watch on the website.
