The Watch that Broke the Sound Barrier: Zenith’s Tribute to Felix Baumgartner
On October 14, 2012, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner made history, becoming the first man to break the sound barrier in freefall, jumping from the edge of the stratosphere from a space capsule and landing in the New Mexican desert, 38,969.4 meters below. The watch he wore while making the jump was a Zenith Stratos Flyback Striking 10th.Zenith, the venerable Swiss watch brand that has sponsored Baumgartner and his Red Bull Stratos team in its daring aerospace missions, and served as official timekeeper for the milestone jump, has this year released a new, personalized edition of the now-famous chronograph wristwatch, the Zenith Stratos Flyback Striking 10th Tribute to Felix Baumgartner.Like the original Zenith El Primero chronograph, released in 1969, the tribute timepiece has that model’s groundbreaking tri-color subdial arrangement: light gray for the small seconds (at 9 o’clock), dark anthracite gray for the chronograph minutes counter (at 6 o’clock), tallying u

Best Place To Buy A Speedmaster
Everyone,I've been searching all the related material in this forum on the relative benefits of the Speedmaster line. Having initially thought about the broadarrow or the new co-axial version I think I've been convinced to go for the manual wind Speedmaster Pro given it's history and authenticity.I just need to decide on whether to go for original 3570.50 or the sapphire sandwich version which I think is getting the vote at the moment as being able to see the beautiful movement is fab.I'm in the UK and want to know where the best place to purchase will be as i do a lot of travelling and frequently to the US. Personally I think that i'll have more of a chance getting some sort of discount at an American AD then one over here in the UK. What do you think??Also I plan to buy on a bracelet but then put on a black leather omega deployment strap. Where's the best place to get these, at the AD as well??

A personal thanks to the citizens of Great Britain
To each of you that voted to exit the EU this is a personal thanks to each of you. Whilst you may have ensured the misery of millions of people for a certain period of time, the collapsing pound and the VAT refund made many of us very happy. The last of the watch trilogy collected today!!!PS the 5130G I had sold 2 weeks earlier as o didn't like Riyadh on the dial and Moscow in the wrong place. I missed it plenty and following the collapse found a BNIB at the AD for $500 less than I had sold and it has Dubai on it which was the earlier edition!perfect!

Do you care about model number?
514 was on my radar before last night, it is not any more, there are so many other choices anyway. Maybe you'll think this is stupid reason - was talking to one of my Hong Kong friends last night, he happen to be a Panerai fan as well, he said he'll never buy it since 514 pronounced like I want to die or I want Shxxxx in Catonese.
