Scott Carpenter has died.
I just learned that Scott Carpenter, one of the original Mercury astronauts, has died. I have always admired America's first space pioneers, of which Scott was among the very first group. He was the second to orbit the Earth.As I have posted before, earlier this year, I bought the commemorative Breitling Cosmonaute, a Navitimer similar to the one worn by Commander Carpenter during that mission. The watch has a 24 hour dial. The case back bears his name.It just so happened that I am wearing that watch today, the day of Commander Carpenter's death. I'm glad to wear it today, of all days, it helps me to pause and wish Commander Carpenter Godspeed as he begins his next journey.Thank you for your service, to America and to humankind, Commander. Rest in Peace.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1381438459.098688.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1381438488.983712.jpg

Losing Time
I bought a new Breitling superOcean in 2008. The watch lost around a minute a day. Was sent back to Breitling and fixed twice, but still loses about a minute a week. Is this normal for a self winding watch? Anyone else have this issue?

Problem with Chrono?
I just bought a new Speedy Professional Moonwatch from Jomashop and once I would it and checked the chronology function, I found something odd:When the chronology second hand moves between 59 seconds and 1:00, the minute sub-dial advances to show 1min. So, If i stop the chronology at 59.3 or 59.5 seconds, the watch will register 1:59.5.Has anyone else seen/experienced this? It seems like it shouldn't be happening. I looked at a friend's speedy (different model) and his chronology behavior seemed normal. Thinking I should probably return it as defective?Thanks for any advice!-Evan

Devaluation
After buying new.. anyone know the percentage of devaluation that has Panerai and Rolex? Of course the watches have been maintained and that they are flawless.
