Interested in thoughts on a Breitling chronograph
A member here got me interested in the now-discontinued a13340 Breitling Superocean chronograph. I'm curious as to what folks here think of it, as compared to (for example) a Tudor 79260. The Breitling has a Caliber 13 movement, based on the well-known ETA Valjoux 7750 movement. My understanding is that Tudor has also used the 7750 for its chrono's from time to time.This Breitling has a vintage, golden-age-of-aviation (1930's) vibe that really appeals to me, especially on a Breitling leather Croc strap. If I can find a reasonably-priced one (mid 2's), think it's worth a try?
New Adjustable Clasp for Speedy Pro 3570.5
So I've been thinking about getting one of these Omega glidelock style adjustable clasps, and I've been reading online about them. Frankly, Rolex could care less if you want a glidelock clasp. Pay them their huge price, or just deal with not getting it. Omega is much simpler and more rational about it. Not having a nearly unlimited fund forces them to be responsive to their loyal customers demands. So it turns out there are 3 different adjustable clasps. They have a shorter clasp which has 3 adjustable positions. They also have two larger clasps that each have 5 adjustable positions. These clasps apparently work on many different models. However, it can get very confusing. I know more about Rolexes and which series number and bracelet goes with which model. Also, they seem to have very long model numbers. In all of my research, I never actually confirmed what specific clasp and links I would need for the 3570.5. After never figuring it out, I called Topper jewelers,

New SS DJ 36mm:A Huge Possibility for 2019
They've already started the new Lugs and improved power reserve on the new TT. If you're a 36mm DJ freak next year might be the year for you. If this is the case i hope Rolex will add some killer dials, my wish is a gun blue sunburst dial for the SS Dj 36mm deym that would be awesome!
Wasn't really a DJ guy until I saw this watch (116234), anyone wear one as a daily?
Since becoming a Rolex fan, my interests have mainly been with the SS sports models (14060, 16710, and now BLNR). It's not that I disliked the DJ's, just wasn't drawn to them the way I was with the Subs and GMTs. But I stumbled across this old Hodinkee article reviewing the 116234. The particular combination chosen by Hodinkee here is stunning -- champagne dial, fluted bezel, Oyster bracelet. Does anyone here have this watch? How about wearing it as a daily?Link to article
