Intro Into Enamel: FHH Video On Enameling Techniques For Watches
This was a very interesting and informative video (translated to English from French) that recently came out from the FHH about enamel work on watches, and the four various types of techniques that are primarily used for watch dials. Many of us don't even recognize enamel art on watches - or cannot appreciate what goes into it. It is very tough work done by highly skilled (and patient) master artists who have been doing it for years. To get it just right on a watch dial can take a few tries as there is always risk involved in not only the actual painting, but also the 800 degree plus baking process. Most watches with "paintings" on them utilize enamel. This is because enamel lasts a long time, is hardy, will not fade, and has extremely bold and beautiful looks when done well. There is also the concept that a master worker hand-loved the dial of the watch and now you get to wear it.Not being an expert on enamel, I can't go into a lot of detail about it, but here it is in a nut shell. Oh

Breitling Diver Pro Rubber on Windrider Is it Heresy?
One of the many topics discussed on the Forums of Breitlingsource or not, should be your Breitling watches on rubber, especially rubber Diver Pro bracelet, especially when the watch is not a diving or professional models. In particular, I refer to models such as the Breitling Windrider and for the series of watches Bentley.

Incoming (actually already here)--thanks MB23!
Picked this up Sunday (thanks Mike). Traded in Schumi (which I still love), but can't keep them all. I wish AP would make the rubber strap for this one (it appears the blue strap on the new 42mm Navy would work perfectly due to the darker color blue, but need AP to make it for the 44mms).PS--thanks to Martin and Hamish for the input on this piece!

Right choice
Hello fellow collectors, Im trying to get myself a new watch for my birthday soon and recently came across 2 watches which drive me crazy. 1. PATEK Gondolo 5124g, which I love the shape and versatality. Especially the curve shape makes it extra special comparing to most of other similar shaped. This watch is simple, well to go with any occasion in my eyes. 2. Patek Annual Calender 5205g, I love the lugs' detailing, absolute art piece. This is one absolute stunning watch with great combination yet so clean and simple. I will say this watch goes so well wth suit or semi formal attire. The question is, I see less love for the gondolo 5124g in forums or instagram. Is is the reason of the blood-line issue or because of the simple mechanism and people tend to lean toward complication mechanism? I love both watches, so deeply wish i can get both but ofcoz i cant. To my concern with 5205g, Im afraid the service fee can drive me crazy too... Gondolo in the otherhand, simple mechanism, cheap se

5960p , Lovestruck ! New Addition
Not much to say, i'll just leave this ONE pic, and it speaks for itself droooooollllI know some of you have seen my anti Patek posts due to bad experience and well, I do still think a bunch of the pieces are overpriced... but after experiencing tons of higher end pieces (50-100k) I can honestly say they are all overpriced This watch however makes me see it's true value, it just feels so special, just perfection in my eyes.On to my new 5960p , I went back and forth between Grey and Blue dial.. I wound up with Grey, and let me say, I am so happy with my choice ! I love the elegance of the grey, so versatile, yet still can be casual/sporty. The dark brown strap I also love , and I didn't in pictures. After pairing it with many outfits it goes with everything, just a stunning watch in every way !
