No one wants a Breitling?
Hi All, new to the forum as I am in the market for a Rolex. I have been primarily a Breitling guy for years and currently have a SuperOcean 44 and a SuperOcean Chrono. I have been hounding everyone with a Sub or a GMT for sale and no one is interested in a trade plus cash. I know this is primarily a Rolex site, but there seems to be a lot of other luxury watch brands they are willing to trade for. Why not Breitling?

InCAMing
I posted this at P, but I must post this incoming here too. Hope it's not too frowned upon and I swear it stops here! A few weeks ago I had an incoming of a DSOTM after debating between that new beauty and the beauty that had held my gaze longer. And though the DSOTM is still a piece I'd love to own and keep, the time wasn't now. So I made a deal for a freshly serviced 233! I always looked at this piece as my Panerai grail. The domed crystal, power reserve, and the dial distortion i found irresistible. Long story short, this has been my dream PAM for a long time. I still can't believe I finally own one. Thanks to everyone in my last thread regarding this decision. This one is a keeper and it feels soooo good to have that itch finally scratched. On to the wrist shots!

My thoughts on the Skydweller
Hi TRF,I'm a relatively new member on the forum, but have lurked for quite some time, and have also been in the watch game for almost half my life (which isn't as long as it sounds as I'm a young man, but you get the picture haha). I wanted to talk a little bit about the Rolex Skydweller, a watch that I've always found to be a very fascinating, beautiful, albeit polarizing piece from Rolex. It's a bit lengthy, but I guess I have an extending opinion on the piece I'll start by saying that I am in fact a happy owner of stainless Sky which I purchased not too long ago, so if I sound biased, it may be because I am haha! From what I've seen on the forum (and in the watch community as a whole), the Skydweller is far from being unanimously loved in the same way that say a Daytona or a GMT is; the label lukewarm comes to mind when I see the sentiments on the Sky. I always found it quite interesting that the Sky wasn't as well received and loved as I personally felt it should have been. Without
