GIVEAWAY: Traser Red Combat Watch
As a watch lover you may not have heard as much about Traser watches as you should have. The brand has been selling durable professional-use timepieces mostly to law enforcement, military, and other active professionals that need highly reliable timekeepers. Traser is actually part of MB Microtec - the Swiss company that produces all the tritium gas tubes you'll find in watches. These small self-illuminating tubes are a preferred form of luminant for many people. All Traser watches contain MB Microtec tubes and the new for 2014 Red Combat is no exception.Designed to be light and durable, the Red Combat has a 45mm wide glass-fiber reinforced resin case that is just 80 grams in weight. The all-black design is accented with red, including the hands and hour markers (which also contain Tritium gas tubes). The case has a rotating timing bezel (made from steel not resin) and the case is water resistant to about 200 meters. The Red Combat features a sapphire crystal and inner steel container

I talked to the man for a second to compliment him on the piece. You just don't see stuff like that very often.In fact, Christiaan van der Klaauw (CVDK) pretty much only makes "astronomical watches." The Planetarium has the smallest such complication in the world on the dial. Even before clocks existed, there were astrological devices meant to track the heavens. The watch movement is a heavily modified ETA 2824 with a hell of a module on it. Aside from the time, the watch has an annua

Is this a genuine Breitling Strap?
Just bought this on line for a good price so need to ask experts if it is genuine Breitling please? It's to go on my white dial Chronomat Airborne 41.

Question about the 5205
Why does the Date window alone have a gold frame around the window? Why not the Day and Month?

Anyone ever use deployant buckles from Panatime?
I bought a couple recently just for the heck of it. Have not put them through their paces yet. About $35 each...you can tell the machining isn't as crisp as the OEM buckles. The brushed buckle looks pretty good...And they don't use that microscopic screw. Instead, the spring bar holding the short end of the strap screws apart.But compared to $400+ for the OEM buckle with logo...
