Hands-On: In The Master's Footsteps: The Breguet Reference 7337
Breguet has in recent years become increasingly active in telling its own story, and for watch enthusiasts, it’s a really unique story and one well worth knowing.  Since the firm was founded by Abraham Breguet in the late 18th century, it’s had, to put it mildly, its ups and downs but it has also for many years produced some of the most beautifully designed watches anywhere in the horological world.  Recent years have seen a great deal of attention paid to Breguet’s sports watches (including the rightly well-respected Type XXI) and its more overtly extroverted watches, such as the La Tradition family; and of course it’s been a period of almost unbelievably technical inventiveness everything from unusual chronograph coupling systems, to novel takes on the minute repeater, to an exploration of very fast-beat escapements and more, have all made Breguet more visible as an innovator than at any time in its history since Breguet himself was alive. 1 O

Can I pass up this deal?
Hey guys, La Swiss in Ontario has marked all there Oris watches 45% off! For the past year they would have given me 30% but now it's advertised 45%. I think they may be discontinuing the brand or maybe getting ready for new stock? At this price is it time to pull the trigger? I'm thinking about a Pro Diver, $1700 tax included. Thanks,Paul

In appearance alone, the most"classic" aviator watch...
could be IMHO either one of these two ;-)Cheers,Ron

5980/1AR Blue Dial - Some Random Thoughts & Question
I saw a 5980/1AR the other day for the first time. Wow that blue is a bluer and more vibrant blue than the 5711 blue IMO.Seems the /1AR doesn't get a lot of love in many polls I have looked at, at least compared to other Nautiluses. And I am surprised the /1AR blue dial isn't talked about more (I hear so many praises about the 5711 blue). Am I crazy for saying that /1AR dial is one of the best dials and most beautiful blue hues on a watch face I have ever seen? Up there with Platona Ice Blue IMO.The 5711 blue/grey kinda paled in comparison in my eyes, as I looked at the two next to each other in the same light side by side. I also loved the way the watch looked overall and I am not usually into TTs (accept for the Rolex Bluesy).Q: I have never seen a 5980/1A but does it have this same color blue? Just curious, because this is starting to become a watch I want. Photos online just can't seem to do these Nautilus dials justice which is why I ask about the /1A blue.I want a Nautilus (some
