Introducing the Breitling Transocean Chronograph 1915, A Mono-Pusher Column Wheel Chrono With New In
While we're die-hard vintage Breitling fans, we can recognize good development when we see it. A couple of months ago we reported on the Breitling Transocean Chronograph. That model hankered for its roots and introduced a vintage theme and a simpler two-register layout. The new Transocean Chronograph?1915 takes that development?a step further by introducing a new dial design, new case and, most importantly, a new manufacture caliber.?The Transocean 1915 starts with a 43 mm by?14.6 mm case in polished stainless steel.

AP/Rolex shopping in Grand Cayman/Turks & Caicos
Hey guys, i'll be going to the Caribbean in January for my honeymoon. While we have yet to decide which particular island(s) is going to host us, we are leaning towards the Cayman Islands and Turks & Caicos. I've read on a few other threads here that there are some deals to be had in these locations, in particular, at Kirk Freeport for Rolex and at Magnum Jewellers for AP in the Grand Cayman.Does anyone have any recent updates on these dealers and the sort of the discounts that can be had, and any information about the dealers/deals to be had in Turks & Caicos? Would I be better off buying from a local AD with whom I have a good relationship?I understand that duty is to be paid when bringing it back through customs. Any other information will be much appreciated. Thanks!

By the Way Where's Thomas???
I guess with the time zone difference he is already in bed and tomorrow it will be like Christmas morning when he gets to find this awesome place.

I am thinking of acquiring Patek ref 5204p-011. An authorized Patek dealer in Switzerland has a wait of 1 to 2 years. Is it advisable to pay a down payment or full price now with the understanding that the price may be different at the time of delivery.
