SLYDE Sport Watches With Matching "Engines" 2013
My experience with the SLYDE?watch last year was an instructive one. While I will readily profess the religion of the mechanical watch to anyone who will listen, I was surprised to discover that during the time I spent with a SLYDE on my wrist, I felt a tinge of the future, and possibly of watch-making itself.While we interact with electronic devices all the time, it seems strange that in the arena of wrist-watch appreciation, the emphasis is decidedly still on the mechanical side of things. Perhaps if the future is to be engaged properly, developments need to be made on?the digital side as well, for who knows what we as a race will evolve to be like further down the line. Without a doubt, at some point the world of Swiss watches and smartwatches will converge.SLYDE is interesting and is an interesting company, guided by a singular vision that in the current environment, could reasonably be deemed to be very bold.

The iconic Breitling Navitimer Watch line has been recently enlarged
The iconic Breitling Navitimer Watch line has been recently enlarged by the new Montbrillant Legende chronograph. The latest Breitling Navitimer has outreached in size all the previously developed timekeeping representatives of the collection. The watch is housed in an imposing 47-mm case. However, as you might guess, considerable size is not the only peculiarity of the Breitling Navitimer design.

Purchased the sub today. 116610LN
Couldn't be happier to have purchased my first Rolex from an AD today. Was torn between multiple models from the DJ41, Explorer 1, to the BLNR finally landed on the Sub date and I picked it up around 1 today. Totally understand why this is such a historical piece. And I am glad I went with the date. Thanks for help with deciding as I posted many questions about what model to choose. Cheers to a good year!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How important to you is the green hang tag?
For those of you who are interested in full sets, how important is the green hang tag? You come across the perfect watch. It has the warranty papers. The outer and inner box. All the manuals are present. The Red/green chronometer tag is included. But wait... no green tag...I'd say half the full sets I've purchased used over the years came without the green tag. I've heard some AD's keep these although I've never had one keep it when I've bought new. So would you pass on a watch because of a missing green tag? I'm specifically asking the opinion of the folks who look for the full set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
