Breva Genie 02 Terra Watch With Accurate Mechanical Altimeter
Breva, a new high-end Swiss watch brand that debuted last year in 2013, has just followed up with their second watch release. The Genie 02 Terra follows the brand's first model - which was the Genie 01 Barometer (debuted here). While that first watch was the world's first mechanical weather station because it included a mechanical barometer, the Genie 02 Terra uses the same technology to introduce the first watch with a mechanical altimeter of this type. Once again the brand has teamed up with master watch designer Jean-Francois Mojon for an interesting and 100% Swiss made mechanical luxury watch with an active lifestyle twist.The Breva Genie 01 Barometer and Genie 02 Terra Altimeter operate using the same basic principle to indicate information. Those with an understanding of mechanical instruments know that both barometric pressure and altitude are measured as functions of air pressure. Inside each of the watches are a pair of sealed aneroid capsules. Traditionally made from an alloy
Help me Choose a strap for my 15400 Blue
Hey all!I'm bringing in my 15400 to have the crystal replaced (scratched) the end of this month, and I'm considering ordering a new strap and clasp to go with it, to be installed at APSC after the service.I'm leaving towards leather, and on top of that I'm leaning towards blue.(Before you all jump on me for this, I'll add, I love the bracelet, but I'm just in a strap mood lately and like to mix it up)My questions:Does anyone have the blue leather on a blue 15400? If so, does it match perfectly? If not a perfect match, does it look good? I'd have concerns that if not a perfect match it might clash. Any pics would be appreciated.Should I consider any other colors? Brown might look nice or even gray. Again, any pics would be appreciated.Lastly, I am feeling pretty strong about leather, but could be persuaded to check out rubber. My feeling is this though, I don't wear this watch all the time, it's more of a special occasion type of watch, so I'm not overly concerned about swimming,
First Nice Watch
So I joined the forum a few months ago to educate myself on Rolex's. I have always wanted a submariner and had my heart set on a no date 14060M. I prefer the vintage style and size of earlier watches and didn't want anything flashy. Eventually after looking around I just didn't feel confident enough to buy a used Rolex either online or private party. I had a local dealer quote me a price on a used one which was basically new msrp.Dismayed I began looking for alternatives. That's when I found the Omega 60th anniversary collection and specifically the Seamaster. I know some find this to be fake vintage, but this watch had everything I was looking for. It's the right size, clean lines and dial and will be a perfect one watch for daily wear.The watch arrived today and am extremely excited. I don't think I would have had the same feeling with a used Rolex.Pictures to follow when it's light out and bracelet is sized.
Seamaster PO Fit Question
Hey folks,I headed to my local AD today to check out a few OMEGA models. The Seasmaster PO is quite a substantial timepiece. I'm a little concerned that it may not fit nicely inside a dress shirt cuff. Has anyone else had this problem with the watch? I realize I could move the buttons on my shirts - but that is a pain in the butt. This watch will be a daily wear piece, I do not intend to rotate it. I would like it to work with my daily dress apparel.I think I have spent too much time on this site. I was convinced I would purchase a Submariner until I started viewing this section and looking at the Seamaster pics. It's a beauty. Now my decision is clouded. lol.Thanks for your help.
