58 New Old Stock Breitling Watches "Last Of The Joseph Iten Collection" On eBay For $125,000
What is the Joseph Iten Breitling collection? It is/was a collection of about 1,500 NOS (new old stock) Breitling watches that were produced in the 1970s and "held in a bank vault" before the company was saved from forever closing down after being sold. Mr. Iten (now deceased) acquired about 1,500 of an estimated 3,000 NOS watches that Willy Breitling held on to in 1978.?While Breitling watches is alive and well today, the company shut down for a period of time in the late 1970s during the "quartz crisis." In 1978, Breitling terminated its operations but was purchased by the Schneider family in 1979 �C who still owns the company today. At that time, Willy Breitling (who died shortly after the company was sold) decided to hold on to a large selection of unsold and prototype watches. Many of those were sold over the last 20 years via private sales and auctions, but only a few remain today outside the hands of private collectors.Old World Jewelers (their eBay store) out of Illinois, USA, c

Royal oak chromo vs non chrono
I have had my eye on a Steel Royal Oak Chrono for some time now after I'd tried on the 41mm 15400 and LOVED the way the light caught the silver dialI expected the Royal oak chromo to have the same dial that changes shades when the light catches it but was disappointed to find it didn't, and looked quite flat in comparison - has anyone else found this?(the self winding looks tiny compared to the ROC here because of the angle and how much higher the chromo sits)

Watch Obession = BROKE
Ok...I bought my first Rolex almost two years ago, the last year they made the former EXP II. I love this watch, but can't quit thinking about what I want my next watch to be. I made the mistake of trying on an AP RO yesterday...now I'm obsessed. So my question is...how the hell do you guys afford all of these watches? I do well I think but geez this is an expensive habit.

New strap for the Aerospace
I recently bought the Aerospace. Fun watch, very convenient. A departure from my preference for mechanical watches.Bought it with the titanium bracelet, but decided to get a rubber strap, too. What the hell...never had a watch with a rubber strap before and there's something no nonsense about it I like. Variety is a good thing. Anyway, here's the Aerospace, with both the original bracelet and the new strap...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Will Rolex discontinue the BLNR now we have the BLRO?
I've always really liked the BLNR but now they've finally released the SS BLRO do they really need both?I can't help thinking they'll bring out an oyster bracelet BLRO next year and drop the BLNR?On a related note, what do you guys think will happen to the value and demand for the BLNR now? I can't see it losing its appeal, I can't help but love the blue and black combo even if it isn't traditional!
