Affordable Vintage: The Bullitt Benrus
Hitting the auction block this weekend is Steve McQueen's 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4.? With estimates ranging from $8-12 million, the car is on track to break sales records and demonstrates that the King of Cool's legacy is still very much alive.? More than thirty years after his death, everything the man touched remains Cool with a capital C.? That's certainly the case with watches, where the models that McQueen wore command a premium in the market.? For most buyers, that means a McQueen watch �C a blue-dial Heuer Monaco 1133B, a Rolex Submariner 5512, or a Hanhart 417 �C is in Grail territory. However, there is a far less well known and far more attainable McQueen watch, and that's what we're looking at today: the Benrus Series #3061 black dial.? It's what we like to call the Bullitt Benrus.When McQueen took delivery of his Ferrari 275 in 1967, he was in the middle of filming what would become arguably his most famous film: Bullitt.? The movie follows San Francisco cop Frank Bullitt (McQue

Market Value For Navitimer II?
Hey all.Looking at a 10 year old full steel Navitimer II. Both boxes, all papers including warranty. Leather deployment strap. Never serviced. I haven't been able to find comparables on eBay completed auctions.Seller wants $3000, I offered $2000. Considering Breitling service is $550 plus tax, and the current leather strap is stained, and has loose stitching, I'm looking at another $300 for a new strap. Is my offer too low? Seller thinks so, but factoring in servicing, and new leather I think it's a fair offer.Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Seamaster vs. Speedmaster for an everyday wearer ??
Good day all, I did a quick search, and this question never came up (that or I overlooked it lol). Anyway, in the recent future, I plan on adding another Omega to my stable. I already have the Seamaster 2531.80 bond watch, and absolutely love it. However, I don't want to put heavy wrist time on that watch, and want to buy another one for a daily beater. It would be on my wrist 23 hours of the day, 7 days a week. I work in the retail industry, so the watch will not be desk diving, but it won't be getting all beat to crap everyday of the week ether. I always go to the beach at least 5 times in the year, and love to swim (I NEVER dive). I guess that's about it. I LOVE the Planet Ocean 45.5mm 600M dive watch, but I also like the Speedmaster moon watch. Not so much because of the style of the watch (even though it too looks good) but becusae of the history behind it, the manual wind, non-sapphire Chrystal, etc. So, I don't know, for a daily watch that can handle it in the field everyday, wh
