Anybody have a chronoliner?
Strolled through my local AD today and tried on some breitlings for fun. Have not actively shopped for one in 5 years or so. Had a super avenger and sold that 4 years back so my Breitling collection consists solely of my navitimer world which I have had for a decade. Heres a couple pics as I failed to get any at the AD. I love the mesh bracelet and overall aesthetic. My only concern is the size which is 46mm. Being a pilots watch this shouldn't be as big a deal but I always consider comfort first. I'll admit it's not first on my list but I liked it a lot more than I would've thought before seeing it. So anyone have it and want to share some pics?

Modifying Speedmaster?
I'm thinking about doing it.. although I know many people think it is sort of sacrilege.I would like to buy a panda dial (Mitsukoshi) and change the sweeping seconds hand and minute & hour hands to black.All sold online by Ofrei (if I can'y post the name let me know and I will edit, or any mod can go ahead on delete it).Any watchmaker could do it.Would you do it? Any pics of such a mod?

New PO 45.5 8500. Impulse Buy
I have been anti Omega for the last few years. I just did not think that the cost was equal to the quality. And, I love the speedy, but think the 42mm looks too small. Which is interesting....because I love my Sub C LN.I always loved the PO (had one in the past), but felt that 42 also looked too small and the 45.5 was way too big. Anyway, I was shopping around and stopped in to look at watches. The sales guy knows I am a watch guy and goes into the back room and pulled out the new 8500 with the black rubber strap and orange trim. I absolutely fell in love.It is extremely comfortable, looks great and I think the deployment clasp is awesome. The rubber looks like it could be rubber or leather, which I think is a neat trick. They gave me 10% and I left the store with it.I think my one concern is that I think the the size may end up bothering me. Feedback from my girl and some friends has been super and they usually yawn when I get a new watch. I wanted to post a few pics to see

389 or 305
Am considering a Panerai Sub and when the funds permit i have got my eye on a 305 or 389. Will try the 389 on at some point to see one in person. I have tried the 305.Seems like more people go for the 305...is there a reason for this? Please post pics of your 389 and 305's. If you went for the 389 what made you choose it over the 305?Thanks
