Breitling Galactic 30

Xetum Tyndall Limited Edition Watch
Young San Francisco based watch brand Xetum now has their first limited edition piece - and it starts selling today (February 15th, 2011). Limited to 100 pieces, this is modified version of the Tyndall model watch. For the limited edition Xetum changed a few things, and the result is pretty nice - as you can tell from hands-on experience with the piece.Xetum didn't want to radically change the popular Tyndall model for this limited set. Aside from offering a limited number of pieces, Xetum wanted to offer a new flavor for the watch. The most noticeable element is the carbon fiber dial. Xetum opted for a slightly glossy sheet of carbon fiber that works well with the design of the hands and numerals. The limited edition model is actually more sporty and formal at the same time.The case is still 40mm wide in steel, but is reverse polished in comparison with the standard model.

Hands-On: With The A. Lange & S?hne Richard Lange Boutique Edition
In March of 2014, I said that there are two directions a new Lange lover typically takes: either towards the Lange One (and its several off-shoots), or the Datograph.

But what if you care more for chronometry than complications? Then you head to the Richard Lange. Today, we take a hands-on look at not a new release from Lange, but just one of our favorite pieces in their collection ¨C the Richard Lange Boutique Edition. 2 OF 8 The Richard Lange family is a young one, launched in 2006 as a revival of scientific observation watches. Essentially, the goal was to create the purest, most precise expression of timekeeping possible. They did so with a traditional three-hander, with a large sweeping seconds hand. Here, precision and finishing of the caliber L041.2 movement tra

RG 44 at an Italian
I haven't worn my RG 44 that much this year so I decided to wear it to a nice Italian trattoria, for the first real carbs I've eaten this year. Food was great, we had bubbling hot lasagne, mushroom tortellini but the best was a delicious gooey chocolate brownie with salted caramel and chocolate sauce! There's been a couple of sales of the RG here recently but I can gladly say I loved wearing the watch and it still looks magnificent and it is going nowhere.

Good place to buy used Breitling in NYC?
In particular, I'm looking for the Montbrillant.

Patek AD told me something new...
That all Patek Service include the replacement of the crown. I was told when you place your watch down on your drawer, desk, or whatever, do so with the crown DOWN.This is to minimize the polishing on the case.
