New strap for the Aerospace
I recently bought the Aerospace. Fun watch, very convenient. A departure from my preference for mechanical watches.Bought it with the titanium bracelet, but decided to get a rubber strap, too. What the hell...never had a watch with a rubber strap before and there's something no nonsense about it I like. Variety is a good thing. Anyway, here's the Aerospace, with both the original bracelet and the new strap...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Damaged Case
Sadly my Breitling was hit by my wife's keys and took some damage to the case.I'm sure I can have the case replaced during a service but when I brought it to an AD they said that a servicing would be close to $700 and didn't have a price for the case. The watch isn't due for a service for another couple of years and I was pretty shocked at the price. Damn near half of what I paid for the watch (new).Does anyone know where else I might be able to get the case replaced?The ding is near the 12 o'clock, right beneath the 5 on the bezel...Many thanks.Scott
Here it is - Speedmaster Professional 3572.50
I've just got back from 3 weeks away to find a package waiting for me. Since my last internet purchase burned me, I thought I'd post a few pics and see if any of you guys see anything suspect... This watch came from a reliable source unlike my last one, and the AD that resized it for me yesterday didn't say anything, but after my last experience I'm not so sure if I trust some AD's and their ability to spot a fake. Any help is much appreciated!Here it is;Cheers guys. Ben.
Stopped at a local Rolex AD.....Very interesting discussion.
Back story-This AD sells a lot of watches. Has been an AD for nearly 40 years. Is the owner. This AD also attends Baselworld each year. #1. He had an amazing selection. The only really notable exception was Daytona’s. He had all explorer and sub variants as well as 2 Batman, Sea Dweller, James Cameron, etc. His sense was that Rolex was not limiting supply. He had stock so it was hard to refute his opinion. He also didn’t believe there was going to be price increases, and he did not believe watches would be upgraded with newer movement or phased out entirely. He didn’t believe there was a need to rush to buy anything. He thought this year would bring some interesting releases but would not elaborate other than he didn’t think one needed to rush a purchase for fear of missing out. He also doesn’t give huge discounts but 10% off msrp is fair for him, I was just stunned that he was willing to give a discount at all considering all the horror stories online. I
Verde incoming!
Got the call this morning from my AD after a 4 month wait. Now I get it👍
