Armin Strom Blue Chip Chronograph Skeleton
Master skeleton-designer Armin Strom puts his more than forty years of experience into the new Blue Chip Chronograph Skeleton. Weeks of patient handwork by skilled craftspeople endow these movements with significant intrinsic value, and the results are spectacular to behold. Find wallpaper and pricing inside. Armin Strom has been creating hand-skeletonized and engraved mechanical watch movements since the 1950s, and he is considered a master of the arts. Fewer than 10 Blue Chip Chronograph Skeleton pieces are created each year. The movements require about two months to skeletonize, using delicate saws and files. The hand engraving adds a further six weeks. Every component is carefully finished, and both the exposed and hidden sides are engraved. With this level of hand work, no two pieces are the same. Anti-reflective sapphire crystals front and back reveal the full inner workings of each piece, and with a 46.5mm diameter, this piece makes its presence known.The Blue Chip Chronograph S

Big Debate
OK Guys. Wondering what you think about this decision I am about to take...I am about to purchase a Breitling at a really low price. Its a Breitling superocean heritage 38mm on a rubber strap. (Got a question about that strap too) I will be purchasing this watch as a daily wearer until the day I get my Rolex - the wife already promised she'll get me a rolex in about 3 years as a masters degree grad gift. I feel a little bit like I am purchasing this Breitling because I am filling the void until I get the rolex. And I already viewed the previous posts/thread about someone buying the rolex so please dont send me to that thread.But now that I know that I can get a great watch (breitling) at a great price and I know my wife is going to get me a rolex in a couple years. Do you think buying the breitling is a good idea? Background - I cant wear my usual daily wearer tag f1 red dial because I am in the military and a red dial is a big NO NO.Also if I am buying the rubber strap and it is size

My new Seamaster "Sword Hands"
I have long admired this watch as one of the more stunning dive watches. I finally picked one up on the second hand market. I'm thrilled with it - its in great, practically mint condition. I have an Omega Nato band on it at the moment but I'm thinking of putting it on the Planet Ocean shark mesh bracelet (if my eyes can take the bling !).

Open papers - Is it acceptable at Omega service centre?
How does Omega service centre treat a timepiece with open papers? Will they honour the warranty?Note here the jeweler info is missing, as well as the date is unfilled. In all my previous Omega purchases with AD, the Jeweler info is preprinted. They only fill in the date part by hand...
