Close-Up: The Redesigned Breitling Avenger II Collection
Breitling, which recently revamped its Colt collection as well as tweaked the look of its newest Chronomat Airborne watches, has also given a redesign to another popular line in its portfolio, the Breitling Avenger series. The Breitling Avenger II collection includes two chronographs, one divers’ watch, and one GMT watch.Breitling has developed the Avenger II series to be “even more technical, functional, and sophisticated,” with a slimmer and more ergonomic case profile, aviation-style “stencil” numerals; an engraved, satin-brushed bezel with integrated rider tabs; and a lighter, titanium caseback with a conversion scale for metric measurements. The Avenger II retains the large screw-locked crown with non-slip grip; the thick, glareproof sapphire crystal; and large hands, numerals and hour markers, here enhanced with Super-LumiNova.The Avenger II is a chronograph with 43-mm case diameter, water-resistance to 300 meters (1,000 feet) and push-piece guards s

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Watch Collection Overview
Christopher Ward is a brand that I have followed (and reviewed) with some interest, as the British brand has put out quite a mix of watches over the ten years they have now been around. For the price points many of their watches are offered at, you have a very compelling mix of style and functionality, with improvements made to the lineups as time goes by. One of the latest to get hit with the change ray is one of my favorites, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident.In total, there are four models that are part of this updated lineup, with three of the four available in two different case sizes.

Changed things up a bit
Picked up the bracelet for the Speedmaster 9300 to change it up a bit from the black leather strap. Both are such great options for this watch. And I have also come to the conclusion there isn't a better chrono out there and that's coming from a guy named Mr. Daytona too.

Glacier Blue vs Ice Blue Dial
Hi I have done a search but cant determine when Rolex changed the glacier blue to the ice blue dial for the platinum daydate. Does anyone know what year this occurred? It looks like it might have happened with the introduction of the Day Date 40 which was 2016 I believe? Does anyone know the year. I am also looking for the 36mm version.Thanks
