Breitling Montbrillant A4137012/Q546-SS Round Purple Dial Automatic Watch

When buying.
.....while you may factor in pre-loved, do you consider vintage too?A number of members here collect vintage, Sam, Keiron and Gee Jaay for instance have a wealth of styles in their respective collections. Some of us have watches purchased from some way back. Had I not been relieved of it, I would still have my old gold Connie which was a graduation gift from my parents. That apart, I've never had an inkling to go vintage.There is one exception of course - The Speedy Pro. However with the Speedy Pro, the primary appearance has not altered with the exception of the early CK models and of course the pre-moon models with the applied Omega logo. I wish Omega had retained the applied logo on all the Speedy Pros. It was on the Gemini !V so why not say a 3573.50 as well?I have given much thought to acquiring older Speedies. For one, I like the "RG" plating on the early 145.022s which were in production until 1982 I believe. Then they went onto " YG " and finally Rhodium. I had toyed with the i

Tissot on the go
Tissot all revved up and ready to go Tissot has a number of new models all revved up and ready to go. From the world of motorcycling, the brand is introducing a new limited series MotoGP watch and a T-Race Nicky Hayden Limited Edition. For those who prefer four wheels, there is a new Racing collection. It is slightly more sober in colour, but loses none of the racing feel that Tissot does so well. Let¡¯s take a closer look. June 23, 2008 By Sophie Furley T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition 2008 Tissot has been the Official Timekeeper for the MotoGP since 2001 and to celebrate the MotoGP 2008, the brand has created a T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition in bright yellow. A number of performance motorcycle features adorn this new model: the bezel resembles disc breaks and the carbon composite featured on the case echoes the sophisticated materials used in the construction of MotoGP bikes. The dial has also been cleverly designed with its carbon-chequered pattern that is remi-niscent of the chequered f

Looking to invest in my first watch.
Hey so I'm brand new here. Ever since I was a young kid, I always wanted a nice watch! Well I'm now able to afford a decent watch, the problem is they're so many to choose from, I really don't even know where to start.I'm looking to set aside about 1000-1500$ for a nice watch. But I really don't know anything about watches to begin with! I want a dress watch, one that will stand out as a nice watch. One that I could look at and be proud of.I'm open to any and all suggestions, at this point I really don't know if I want a gold, quartz, silver, or leather strapped watch. So any good suggestions around my price range would be appreciated. Mainly I'm just looking for something of considerable quality, one which will retain it's value, of course I'm looking for something I will keep for life and pass down one day.Also, does anybody have any good links, or books that I might read about starting watch collecting? I feel like their is so much information I need to learn! I have no clue where t

Benefits of buying from AP Boutique
In all likelihood, my next watch will be the AP 15400 Blue faced boutique-only edition. I was in the NYC Boutique this weekend with the wife trying it on, and speaking with the sales associate. Even though I think that the boutique is my only option for buying, he tried to sell me on the benefits of it anyway. He noted the 5 year - instead of standard 2 year - warranty, as well as their concierge service. Obviously the 5 year warranty is awesome, but does anyone actually use the concierge service? Are there any other benefits other than the free swag I've seen posted here before?

Playing with straps.
It's a public holiday here in Singapore today so I've been messing about with strap combinations to see what works and what doesn't. I now have a pretty good idea of what I want built next so please let me know if you think something looks particularly good or just doesn't work Here's my 689 on the JV.
