The long awaited incoming!!
Hello TRF I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays. I've been back and forth with the decision to get a Chronomat 44 for quite some time now. Specifically the 30th Anniversary Edition Airborne. I finally came across me that I could not pass up. I do plan on getting the black canvas strap that has the red rubber from Breitling. Enjoy the photos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does the 2500c movement suck, or is it all overblown?
I see a lot of sellers posting that their Omega Planet Oceans have the 2500D movement and not the dreaded 2500C movement. I know that the 2500C is accurate because I was able to tell that from searching around here. My question is about durability. Is it just a vocal ~.05% failure rate or is it more like 10% failure rate on the 2500C movement?How much would it cost to fix a failed 2500C assuming the warranty expired?Thanks!

Finally!!!!!
Hi! Y'allI am big fan in this forum for awhile and consider to step up to buy PP watch. After I read this pp forum and realize that which model should I go for. Then, I know that I am in love with 5711 blue face and cant stop dreaming, I have to pull the trigger. As u know, it is super hard to get it. I went to many countries to find and I couldnt find it. Until I went to Spain (Granada) with my wife and I found it. Super lucky and happy to own it. Thanks to this forum make me happy to get what I really want.Thank you again..

some frustration with buying new rolexes
so i'm starting to get a little frustrated with rolex as it seems all of the new watches i want to buy i can't actually buy. at least at the retail price. namely, the new daytona (white or black) and the ss pepsi gmt that is coming out. it seems you have to have a relationship with a rolex dealer to get on their preferred waiting list for one of these hot watches. last week i called around a few rolex dealers locally here in los angeles and even out of town to see if i could get on a waiting list for the new ss pepsi. universally they indicated they were giving preferential treatment to their established customers. so basically i have to buy a watch i don't actually want from them to be able to get a watch that i do want? the irony is i own 4 rolexes and a tudor. it's just most of those are vintage and the one more modern one was a gift.i just wanted to vent a little. i imagine there are probably others out there who are experiencing the same frustrations i am.

New Magnum P.I. GMT
As discussed elsewhere in this forum (especially here), Thomas Magnum sported a 16750 matte dial for much of the series in the '80s.It was recently announced that the show is being rebooted and producer Peter Lenkov just posted on Instagram that the character will be wearing his personal Rolex GMT. Lenkov says he got it years ago because of the show. The new one has a coke bezel instead of a pepsi. Can anyone tell what reference is it from this image alone?
