Breitling Colt Watches For 2014 Fully Embrace High-End Quartz
For 2014, Breitling quietly releases a tweaked collection of Colt watches in four versions that include a women's model, a chronograph, and two three-handers. If you don't know, the Colt has been one of Breitling's most entry-level models representing an accessible way of getting into the brand's military-inspired sport watch theme. These new Breitling Colt watches have more Breitling DNA than ever, and there are some things to consider when looking at the new collection. I especially want to discuss the important topic of high-end quartz watches. This is especially after the also recent announcement of Breitling's even higher-end Cockpit B50 quartz-based watches watches-dealer covered here.Often times watch lovers accuse Breitling watches are looking too similar to one another.

Short strap
I have a ceramic diver and have been seeing more and more threads talking about members getting or advising to get short straps, I find my diver very comfortable, so much that I am very surprised as I thought it wouldn't be so much, my question is this, I have 6.9 wrists, if I get a short strap will the comfort be greatly improved or seeing as how it's already quite comfortable it's just a waste of money as it would either be the same comfort or the improvement would be so small that it's not worth it?Does anyone here have a diver and more or less the same wrist size as me and bought the short strap?

Opinions on the Cal. 2385
I am seriously considering purchasing a RO chrono with the Cal. 2385 movement. I realize this is an F. Piguet Cal. 1185 base movement tweaked by AP and that this movement is also used in other watches, like the VC Overseas chrono.Any thoughts or opinions on the 2385? Reliability, accuracy, etc. Does it matter that this is not an AP movement inside a storied AP model?I appreciate your comments.Thanks.Cheers,-Marc
