Breitling Men's Mark VI Complications 29 Watch

1st Hamilton - Help me decide between these two
First of all let me say Hello to everyone this is my first post here. I have been wanting to start a watch collection for some time and I have decided to start with a Hamilton. Reason being, my wife and I just happen to walk into the only Hamilton dealer in our area not too long ago. Actually, it didn't just happen she wanted to look at jewelry and I just happened to be with her. Anyway, I believe it was a Jazzmaster cannot recall but it was the light brown leather strap which caught my eye. I tried the watch on and really liked both the look and fit. I was hesitant however to purchase a watch whose brand name I had never heard of. Up until this point I had only worn titanium watches made by Fossil and Skagen. So, now that I am looking for a new watch. I started to do some research and I really liked the ETO but was not sure if the 42mm case was too big for my small wrists. I head back to the AD in my area to try on an ETO. Meanwhile, I also see a Navy GMT in the case and I try it on.

Help me find an alternative to this designer watch
I'm currently looking for a new watch. I'd like an elegant watch with a touch of luxury, not too eye caching and not too small (at least 40mm). My budget is around 200 pounds (250 EUR, 300 USD). After looking for ages, I've come across a perfect candidate, but it has a flaw; it's a designers watch (Armani AR0671). Here's the picture of it:It's perfect as far as the looks go, but I don't want to pay 3/4 of the price just for the brand on it, as it's probably made in China anyway. Here's my attempt at summing it all up: Size: 40mm - 45mm Styling: classical look, but not too empty (i.e. not just hour ticks and 2 hands). I'd really like roman numerals on it. Colour: classical (brown, bronze with metal, can also have a hint of gold somewhere, but not too much) Strap: leather Case: preferably a little contoured glass so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a box on my hand Budget: up to 200 pounds (250 EUR, 300 USD)Movement: might as well be quartz, but I wouldn't mind mechanical if there's some

What is this watch?
This watch is heavy cased in 14k solid gold. Very narrow strap could be a women's watch but am not sure . I believe it has a 747 movement inside of it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Patek- One Year + for Service and Watch Returned With a Defect
Today, after waiting a year and 3 weeks, I finally received my Patek 5110P back from service.I inspected the watch with a loupe and to my great disappointment I notice a blemish on the 22K micro rotor, which appears to be a mark or gouge (perhaps from handling with a tool).This is incredibly upsetting and the thought of sending the watch back to wait for months for them to correct it is really upsetting. Given their standards and price point, it should be perfect. After all, the finishing of these movements is a big reason why we buy these watches, and the micro rotor is the centerpiece of the 240 movement.I have contacted Patek (HSWA) and will keep you all posted as to how they handle this. In the meantime, here are some photos I took with my macro lens. The damage is on the right side of the rotor on the edge near the right hand side screw.Apparently, the QC issues continue. If they Patek does not resolve this to my satisfaction quickly and without hassle it will be the last Pate
