Should I buy a Cockpit Big Date
I have the opportunity to buy a Cockpit big date with a silver dial. Are these desirable Breitlings and what would be a fair price. The watch is all stainless and is not a chrono. I think it's 41mm if that sounds right. Never owned a Breitling before so any info pros an cons of this mode is appreciated. Thanks!!

Alligator Band and Moisture.
Hey y'all, I just purchased a Pam 104 liar week and it comes with the alligator band as well as the rubber one. Can I get the alligator one wet? Seems like it's not a good idea but having the waterproof watch with a band that's not is a little concerning.

5 year evolution of a watch collection��
i wanted to share the evolution in my watch collection over the last 5 years, it has dawned on me that I have come full circle back to the Daytona, the grail watch (black dial this time). It Seems like the perfect time to revisit the journey. hope you enjoy.In 1991 the Daytona was a Zenith version, it was impossible for me to find back then, I had my name and deposits with several AD in the nyc area. After waiting more than a year for a Daytona to surface, I gave up and decided to purchase my second choice, the Submariner 16613 Bluesy (E serial) new from Wempe on 5 ave in manhattan. The bluesy had become quite popular at the time.I went on to forget about the Daytona for 20 years and enjoy my Submariner, using it for any and all tasks as my only watch… then unexpectedly in 2010, a friend mentioned he had a guy who worked in a rolex AD, my friend told me this guy could make things happen… so I replied, if you want to test him, ask him if he can get me a Daytona? the call

Platinum Rolex/18206 and "hollow links"
Hi everyone - longtime reader, have never registered/posted until now.I own a Rolex 18206, all platinum case/President bracelet/bezel, and have been reading about the solid vs hollow links on here for awhile now.Convinced that the 40mm newer platinum Day Dates would be significantly heavier than mine, I recently visited a Rolex AD and asked to see one - and was stunned when it weighed about the same as my pre-2000 36mm.Most of the posts on here refer to the weight difference in steel and gold bracelets for pre/post 2000 watches but I assume the hollow links issue also applies to the platinum models. I assume the minimal-seeming weight difference is simply because platinum is generally heavier/denser?Lastly, my watch is almost 30 years old and the bracelet will eventually need a tune-up - can anyone speak to Michael Young's experience working on platinum President/other platinum bracelets?Thanks much.
