Breitling Navitimer New For 2014 46mm And GMT Watches
Breitling's most iconic and famous model is the Navitimer. I've reviewed the Navitimer 01, which included for the first time the in-house manufacture Calibre 01 movement.For 2014, Breitling makes two small, but important, changes to the already legendary model. First, the Navitimer gets an extra large version.

President Kennedy's Omega
Yesterday, I stopped by the Omega boutique at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles. I took a long look at the new Omega '57 Speedmaster. Then, while chatting with the staff about Omega, I asked about the watch Omega made a few years ago which replicated the Omega worn by President Kennedy. I learned that Omega made just 261 of these watches. Moments later, I was looking at 221.It is a pure dress watch, of the old school. No second hand. No date. Almost weightless on its caiman strap. The movement is Omega's own calibre 2006, manual winding with a power reserve of 40 hours.The elegant simplicity of the watch spoke to me, and, of course, its history. Given to him by a friend, President Kennedy wore his Omega Ultra Thin often, including during his inauguration. I have long had an affinity for Omega, since childhood when I stood by my father's side as he purchased a Speedmaster Professional, a watch I still wear. I'd never owned a watch such as this, however.So, despite the hefty p

Does it make sense at all? Why would one do that aside from rounding up one's collection? And if it does make sense and was bought both to wear and for one's collection, which PC model appears to be more sensible and why?I welcome any inputs that may be shared by all. Once again, thanks in advance!
