Azimuth Mecha - 1BMF Auction On eBay: Ends Nov-28-07 20:12:41 PST
Here is a great watch for those who like a something that is highly functional and will turn heads. This watch certainly gets that "Let me see that" gawk from most people, yet it is deceptively simple. The history of watches and gauges are closely related. Both are measuring instruments which require legibility and precision. Although watches are mobile while gauges are usually relatively stationary.I am actually surprised that more watches do not take that approach that Azimuth Watch Company took with the Mecha series. The idea is to separate the various time indications in to their respective windows. Watches have been attempting to deviate from the standard watch shape for a long time.

Strap vs Bracelet
Do youll feel there are some brands that just look better with one over the other?You are def. influenced by how they are normally shown (rolex on a bracelet) but there are some brands that have a more even split between the two.I only care for my rolex sports models on its bracelet, and I only care for a Panerai if it is on a leather band.For some reason Panerai and AP's to me just look perfect with the contrast between materials from being on a strap/band. I was contemplating getting the bracelet for my Diver, but am actually not in love with it. I realllllly like the bracelet, just as though I really liked the bracelet for a Panerai, but I think in general......AP's look better on a strap of sorts.Therefore...I am thinking of picking up a black hornback > bracelet.Thoughts? Anyone else have some generalized opinions on the subject?

Has anyone seen applied Breitling logo coming off of the dial?
It looks like the logo on my Breitling Super Avenger is popping off the dial. Is this something a normal watchmaker could tackle or do you think I should send it to Breitling for a new dial?Have you ever seen this before? I am really surprised and baffled that the logo would fall off the dial. Now I'm even worried that it could be a fake watch.

Tudor Rivited Bracelet
I'm thinking about getting a Black Bay. I want the red bezel with the rose on the dial. Can you get an OEM riveted bracelet? What is the cost? Thanks.
