Forged Carbon Diver...and Sharks!!!
Went on a honeymoon to Tahiti and stayed in many places throughout the Society Islands but one of the highlights was this: I wonder...how would ceramic and forged carbon stand up to a bite?...Glad I didn't have to find out. Hope you are all enjoying this fabulous hump day

Crown locking screw popped off
So I have a breitling Evolution, and I looked down at my wrist and noticed that the middle crown screw is gone :( I have had the breitling evolution MOP face for about 8 years now and Im sure it's due for a service, I just emailed breitling and going to call them tomorrow for a quote... have any of you sent your watch directly into breitling to have them overhaul it? how long does it take? and if not there do you have any other recommendations on how to fix it ?

Service mainspring only?
Question about service.My moonwatch has a broken mainspring (I think). It winds until you hear an audible skip inside the movement, then keeps winding. Keeps time ok now, but power reserve has gone way down.Until I broke it the watch was winding smoothly, running perfectly, etc.Took it to an NYC watchmaker and they would only do a full service... but what if I just want this one problem fixed for now?Is that possible? bad idea? any recommendations in the NYC area?Thanks

5711R or 5726/1A-001 Stainless Steel
Hi Guys, Fairly recent comer to the world of Haute Horlogerie and Patek.Managed to finally get 5167 (thanks DavidSW) but bug had well and truly bitten me. While I love the 5167 (and it gets most of my wrist time against Hulk and Panerai) I really want to add Nautilus to my collection. As you are all well aware, the chance of buying new or pre-owned 5711 at a reasonable price for a newcomer are next to nill. So I've been searching high and low for a new nautilus.While AD hasn't confirmed it yet, I should be able to get my hands on either 5711 in rose gold (on a bracelet) or 5726 in SS on a bracelet.Both will be new stock. The plan is to keep 5167 and add the new Nautilus to my daily rotation. (desk driver duties).Now to the question: which Nautilus 5711R or 5726/1A would make for a better daily watch? Would 5711R be too much as a daily? Is it just a special occasion watch?Would 5726 be more suitable as a daily? Ideally I would love to own both of these pieces, but bank balance only al

I just couldn't take it anymore!
After seeing all these beautiful 5960/1As, I finally gave in and picked one up for myself! Sorry for the quick n crappy iPhone pic, but here she is:Couldn't be happier, this is an awesome all around piece.
