Letters To The Editor: A Reader Wants Help Picking A Breitling
Hi Rob, Jack Forster here (Managing Editor) and thanks for volunteering to be the first! It’s a great idea, and one we’ve certainly talked about here a lot. We’re definitely going to start keeping an eye out for great questions from our readers. Of course, we can’t answer every query but we want our readers to know we really appreciate their input and look forward to being able to get into some interesting discussions with you guys and gals. Bear in mind we’ll always try to present your email verbatim but we may edit (lightly) for clarity, punctuation, and so on.

I also loved the way the watch looked overall and I am not usually into TTs (accept for the Rolex Bluesy).Q: I have never seen a 5980/1A but does it have this same color blue? Just curious, because this is starting to become a watch I want. Photos online just can't seem to do these Nautilus dials justice which is why I ask about the /1A blue.I want a Nautilus (some

Ref no. For patek perpetual where everything is in windows?
To me this is the cleanest calendar out there:Do they make a perpetual like this where perhaps the leap year is kept in a small pin hope window like some of the perpetual chronos? Keeping the clean theme. What about the above with a clean moon phase as well (without 24hr indicator), and perpetual ?Would appreciate the feedback
