Black leather on black steel and rare vintage Breitlings
So I'd been tossing around the idea of getting a leather band for the winter. Is it me or does anyone else notice a huge change in Breitling leather straps as of a few years ago? They used to be supple, perfectly stitched and the breitling markings were more deeply imprinted on the inside of the straps. Now, I find the new straps feel cheap and harsh. Well long story short, I found an NOS older black 22/18 strap and jumped on it. Quite pleased with the results. I also have to give a shout out to the service tech at NYC's Breitling boutique. A very nice gentleman who showed me some really amazing rare vintage Breitlings that he had in the service room. I'll post some photos below.
Incoming and my Patek story
As a child, I came across this beautiful watch at the local swap meet - a fake Patek Philippe. My mom saw how enthralled I was and asked if I wanted it for my birthday. I think it was around $150 after some wheelin, which was a lot of money back then for a working class family. I didn’t know about watches then but knew the real deal would be even sweeter, a goal to reach for. So I distinctly recall saying, all serious and with water in my eyes, “no thanks mom, I’m gonna be so stinkin rich and buy the real thing”. She smiled and said I can do it. I was maybe 12 at the time.... fast forward, I’m not quite there yet but the aspiration of owning a Patek never left my mind. I recently turned 27 and decided to fulfill a childhood dream. Yeah, today I’m grinning like a mad man.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Finally feeling like a true member of the Patek Philippe Club
With the incoming of my first magazine copy... Decided to celebrate with a few shots of my 5164 and using the magazine as a backdrop:There's just something special about how that dial shimmers in sunlight and at different angles.

D-Blue future Collectability
Hi all,Any help welcome, long term how collectible do you think the D-Blue Deepsea will become?I know many will chime in about watches not being investments etc, but just looking at how my BLNR has appreciated within 3 years compared to what I paid for it, shows me the possible gains.I think the D-Blue could be really collectible in the future and wondered what you all thought.
