A Tour Of The Museum In Breitling's New York City Boutique With Technical Director Gerhard Loitz
Breitling's three-story boutique on New York's 57th Street is one of the largest watch stores in the city. What you might not know though is that in addition to a full collection of new watches (ground floor) and a lounge and bar (third floor), the boutique also houses a small vintage museum tucked behind the watchmaking department on the second floor. Included are beautiful chronographs from the early 20th century, funky '70s sport watches, and modern milestones in Breitling's development. Here's a little tour of this hidden gem.?When visiting the Breitling boutique last week, I was fortunate enough to have Breitling Technical Director Gerhard Loitz as my guide to the museum, shedding a lot of light on the little details that make these pieces part of Breitling's history. Here we'll walk you through the exhibition chronologically, starting with a Breitling first. 2 OF 14 Here we have a two-button chronograph dating to 1938. Breitling pioneered the two-button chronograph

44mm SS Novelty 26400SO thoughts.
I traded my only AP (26320) 6 months back and focused on collecting Rolex however I'm on the verge of coming back and trading my DSSD for SS/ceramic Novelty. Not a fan of the rubber strap but will order a GP in a few weeks and despite it's larger size,( incidentally I intended to go down a notch despite flirting with the idea of YMII) I'm actually looking forward to it. I have a few week wait until it's here but looking for wrist shots and assurances that this is a good move for me.Any owners out there willing to give their thoughts?

Considering moving to an Aquanaut from DSSD
I'm basically no lonet happy with Rolex, especially the new oils, new flaws, and what's looking to be much more frequent servicing ....Give me some ups and downs on the Aquanaut. . And approximate used value on a stainless piece. Rubber strapBelieve it or not, it's by far my favorite Patek piece. Time to step away from this DSSDThanks all

almost as beautifull as a 5070
.........the 5170such a nice piece but I still prefer the 5070

Rolex 1665 Replacement Crystal
Hi I have a 1665 sea dweller with the original acrylic crystal. It has a ton of scratches. Options are to replace or buff. If I replace at Rolex, does anyone know whether the replacement crystals are distinguishable from the originals?
