Breitling Bentley Barnato Royal Ebony Dial Chrono Watch A2536824-BB11SS

CORUM Heritage Artisans Coin Watch
The bald eagle became the national bird of the United States on June 20th 1782. It is a symbol of beauty, strength and prestige which appears grasping arrows and an olive branch in its talons on most official American seals, including the President's. It also appears on several coins such as the US dollar and inspired Corum to design the first Coin Watch with a coin as a dial in 1964. Half a century later, the?La Chaux-de-Fonds brand has unveiled a limited edition of 100 pieces whose dial is a real dollar in 925 silver protected by sapphire crystal. Two black baton-shape hour and minute hands burst from beneath the eagle's head powered by the self-winding CO 082 calibre which provides a 42-hour power reserve. The movement is nestled in the 43mm silver case whose crown gleams with a diamond.?Price: 12,400 CHF.?Sharmila Bertincorum.ch

Is it wrong to be slightly impressed by an Alpha knock off
About 5 years ago, before I got my Rolex Submariner-when I thought I would never get one, I bought an Alpha GMT. I never wear it because it looked too much like a Rolex knock off and why wear that when you have the real deal? Anyway a few weeks ago I bought a 4 dollar rubber strap for it, thinking that without the bracelet it would look less like a GMT knockoff and more like a generic sports watch, and perhaps I would wear it as a knock around. Revisiting this watch, I came away impressed by a few things on a mechanical watch that cost 50 bucks at the time1) When winding the mechanical movement it has a really nice sound and a strong, mechanical feel, like the gears have "weight", very different then the Miyota in my 89262) It keeps great time. I have not timed it, but after a few days of wearing it, letting it sit and wind down, and wearing it again (just enough to keep it wound), it still was not noticeably off from my Swiss Army Quartz3) The case finishing is actually quite nice4

After owning and then releasing a number of APs, I just took delivery of my new Diver which I plan on never selling.It is a gorgeous piece and will play nicely with all of my Panerais.I am going to pick up a couple of straps too and wanted to double check with you guys as to the lug size.Thanks!Lindsey

PAM90 Power Reserve
I have a friend who just purchased a PAM90 Power Reserve (no box or papers). I opened the case back for him to find that it had the 7750-p3 OP III Movement. I am not familiar with Panerai, he said it was a pam90. I thought the PAM90 had the Caliber IX but this has the Panerai OPIII w. power reserve. It's a F series.Is this possible? I have attached the picture of the movement from the watch he purchased. Here is a picture of the dial.
