First Post - Just a few Q's
Hey guys i've loved Breitlings for a long time and usually don't wear watches at all.. But i'm single was nerdy for most of my life and have a few extra dollars to throw around for a nice watch... i've been reading posts from 2006 and on, and am getting kinda confused on what i really want now. So here it goes.. I need a nice everyday watch that i will take off while working at my restaurant or my other desk job(yes 2 jobs :), (some customers dont like to see you wear nice things) But that can take a beating, meaning that i know how much it costs BUT i really don't care if i nick a doorway and hit the band, and to also not fall apart if i do hit something. No diamonds or blinged out.. but a watch that people will think it's nice.. BUT then say... OHHHHHHH it's a breitling... or ohhh it s a rolex? niiiiice. I figure i'm single have a good job.. why not.. stop spending it on gadgets (chicks don't dig it as much lol)Im thinking of starting out used as i haven't worn a watch in about 8 yea

Atlanta Omega Boutique ribbon cutting 1 17 13
Last night the beautiful Omega Boutique in posh Phipps Plaze had its formal opening. Located in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, the Boutique hosted the President of Omega, Stephen Urquhart; Omega spokesperson and ambassador, golfer Greg Norman and 140 invited guests. Drinks and canapes were served, but the highlight of the evening was the wide array of Omega watches. I attended along with good friend and Omega guru, Fr. John and our mutual friend Mark. We were shown all of the latest Omega offerings by fellow WIS and Omega Boutique associate Brent Reames. While there are a number of beautiful new Omegas the high point for us was the new de Ville co-axial 18K pie-pan which was brought in for the occasion. Needless to say, Fr. John, Mark and I had a delightful evening. I wish each of you could have been there. Cheers, Bill P.

Pre Moon Speedmaster on eBay
What do the experts make of this?8wt_1085Why wouldn't the original case have been retained after service? However bad it's condition, surely it was worth keeping as well as the replacement? Obviously the replacement case will always hold back it's value significantly. Not one worth keeping in a safe then, but I suppose you could use it on a more everyday basis not having to worry about knocking or scratching the case��I'm slightly tempted.

Thoughts on the 5496P ?
My local dealer took in a 5496 a few weeks ago and I tried it on today. I really like it, but even at the second owner price it is a sobering amount for a watch that doesn't seem to get a lot of love. Anyone care to sway my opinion one way or the other?

BLNR, Hulk and Sub C for DD2?
HiI have never owned a gold Rolex and it's was always something i said I'd do one day... Promised one to myself for my 40th birthday (3 years away) but I'm thinking about doing it a bit earlierI'd need to trade a few of the ones I already own if I wanted to do it thoughI'd be trading the three listed in the title for a RG DD2 with black concentric or wave dialThis would leave me with Daytona C, AP Royal Oak Chrono, Pepsi GMT and Sub KermitWhat are your thoughts?
