HourTime Show Podcast Episode 4 - Tourbillons, Dos/Don��ts, Holiday Shopping + a Contest!
Episode 4 of the quickly growing HourTime watch chat podcast show is up. This time we talk about why all the fuss with tourbillon watches, dos and don'ts with watch wearing, and the beginning of our holiday watch buying tips.We start out with learning about what tourbillons are, what they do, why they exist, then why they were "forgotten" for years and years and their sudden comeback. Then we get into why wear a watch at all - not the same as checking the time on your cell phone. Wearing a watch on the underside of your wrist is a topic. Next, fake watches, don't get us started! Wearing your watch at the gym? Then, we talk about the watch industry and watch news (where do you get your watch news).The Holidays are coming up, so where should you go to buy your watches for gifts?

This is a complete set, with all papers (although no remaining warranty, I believe).Simultaneously, there is a grey market website (for this exercise, assume the website is legit) which has one for sale BNIB, though it comes with boxes and manuals only. Any necessary warranty work would be covered by the grey dealer's warranty, not Breitling's. I would never use this outside warranty, probably sending the watch to BSC if I ever needed any work done. Furthermore, as the website states that the watch comes with boxes and manuals, I'm unsure if the LE certificate would be included, although I see no reason why it shouldn't, since they usually only remove the warranty card.The price difference between these watches would be $1350 (5150 bnib grey and 3800 used c

Incoming- new to PP family!
....Had a busy day between client meetings and nonstop communications with Oscar (Bodybump) who was able to amazingly find me a BNIB 5167 on strap(Thank you for the hard work to source the piece, and putting up with me!) Said goodbye to my AP Diver (much love- time to move on-but could come back to the collection someday). A 5167 and DSSD is a fine balance for now.....and should be wearing a 5167 for my flight Thursday night! (if it makes it in time between leaving client site and flying out for the weekend.... ...it's race against time- fingers crossed!!! If not, I'll pick it up on Monday)Will post pictures upon receipt. Finally able to to progressively (Timex, Tag, PAM, Omega, Rolex, Rolex, AP) reach one of my childhood dreams of owning (merely taking care for the next generation ) a Patek. Ecstatic the day has finally come after lots of hard work.... and is just the start towards my current grail, 5726 or the new 5990A. Thank you'll for the enabling pictures (shout out to Puffy on t
