New Zealand Vacation with the trusty 44FC
Just a some shots of our vacation down to New Zealand. Decided to take my 44FC for it's versatility! This place is truly a piece of heaven on earth!

Breitling Colt black steel
Hi, I am currently on the look for a black steel watch, my 2 options now are the blackbird 44 and the colt chrono. While looking for the colt the AD told me that it is no longer available and the model is discontinued. He was not aware why but I am surprised since it is relatively a new model. Would anybody know the reason of stopping it?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

New watch!
I've owned several cal 2500 POs and have been wanting to try the new cal 8500. I was lucky to take one in on a trade deal. It just arrived today and here is a quick wrist shot. What do you guys think???

Thinking of buying an Omega
Got my eyes set on the Seamaster 2262.50 but trying to find a used seller in the Dallas area. Any of yall know a store to try and look at?

Thoughts on Panerai PAM051 vs Rolex Explorer II 16570?
Work as a health professional and have wanted a high end but beater watch I can wear while working but also as a summer/cottage/beater watch. The rest of my collection is all vintage Rolex and Omega and with the exception of having one 'no worries' daily driver watch, the rest of my intended future purchases are dress watches.Any thoughts on these two white dial with date watches... I intend to put either on a rubber strap for the majority of wear.I want something waterproof, that I can accidentally bump and scratch and not worry about too much.As the Explorer II reference I like is discontinued and there are no local Panerai dealers I don't have an opportunity to put either watch on my own wrist.Another consideration is I don't know how easy it is to get a Panerai serviced in Canada. For those in Canada, how does that go if you need a general service or a repair?
