Forged Or Ceramic Diver
I'm suffering a small dilemma. I have a steel Offshore Diver. I love the watch, but I also love black watches. Scratch resistance is up there on my wish list also. I'll keep the steel diver, as I've buried myself in bracelets and straps and buckles. I've found a local Forged Carbon with orange accents. It's pre-owned but appears never worn. Yet when I look at the forged diver, I get mixed feelings. The ceramic offers scratch resistance, like the carbon. But what really sings on the ceramic is the display back of the ceramic diver, very cool. Is it worth waiting to find one? I rarely buy new at AD's. I'll let someone take the initial hit
Looks like I've joined the Breitling club!
Just purchased my first Breitling this evening. A nice Aerospace with a UTC. I have always been attracted to the Aerospace and the Emergency for purely aesthetic and technology reasons. The UTC was something else that set it apart on this timepiece.Better images later. Tell me what you think.
Omega and Military Pricing.
So I have the Paneari 104 and love it but Im currently looking at the Seamaster Professional with orange 12, 6, and 9 hour markers along with a blue leather strap with orange stitching. I was at the Omega boutique in NYC last week and they would not budge from the $6,100 price tag so including tax we are looking at $6,530. However, I went online to the Military Exchange website because I have military privileges and the same watch as $5,140 no tax. No brainier right? I was going to get the Sub no date used on gray market but this Omega is beautiful and would be NIB. Thoughts, comments?
Trade in for a dress watch
So, lately my watch collection has become very slanted toward “tool watches”, especially with a 50 fathoms mil-spec on the way. I really don’t have something to wear for dressier occasions and I’ve fallen out of love with my IWC. I’m not a giant DJ or DD fan. And I prefer to keep it under 40mm.I was thinking of trading in my IWC Portuguese and FOIS (plus cash) for one of the below:1. YM 116621 brown dial2. Vacheron patrimomy traditionnelle3. H. moser center seconds with a funky blue dial.4. Lange Saxonia ultra-thin 37mm I know a YM isn’t technically a “dress watch”, but I feel with TT and a slim design, it can wear as a dressy watch.
