2011 SuperOcean models - An introduction and comparison
For a watch brand that has a long and illustrious history based on their ability to create timepieces that are perfectly suited and useful for pilots and aviation enthusiasts Breitling do have an unerring knack of creating fantastic Diver’s watches.The history of the Breitling Diver’s watch started in the early 1960s with the original SuperOcean. An instant classic that was successfully revamped recently as the SuperOcean Heritage. The SuperOcean Heritage line was reintroduced in 2007. Most recently and up until this point the Diver’s watches within Breitling catalogue included the 3000m Avenger SeaWolf in Titanium and then Stainless Steel, the 2000m SteelFish that is now a discontinued model constantly lamented by Breitling fans and the 1500m SuperOcean. To have a Diver’s watch within any high end manufacturer’s catalogue capable of withstanding the pressures of 1500m is as incredible as it is rare.

Generic Jewelers Cases............
This may have already been covered at some point but, if so, I am going to ask again. Why would a jeweler have housed a Hamilton movement in a third party, non-model specific case? I could maybe see if it were a Tiffany or high end case with jewel faceting or something. I could also see if an original case became damaged and the owner wanted to re-house the movement in a new case. But, I recently purchased a Hamilton movement in a generic 10YGF case, basically for the movement, as the auction went low. (The case has turned out to be in phenomenal, lightly worn shape.) The dial is stamped Hamilton Movement, but, it just seems like a great length to go when a jeweler could sell the complete branded piece with the accompanying advertising and prestige that would have accompanied it.Tell me what part of the story I am missing.

NAWCC-A Piece of History.
Following on from yesterday, I thought I would show you the wrist watch that is generally accepted to be the model that started the acceptance to the wrist watch (from pocket watch) in 1927.It is a rare silver 1929 Octagon Rolex Oyster. What makes this watch so significant is that it was the model worn by Mercedes Gleitze when she swam the channel in 1926.She was 27 yrs old and wore this model around her neck. Waiting for her was Wilsdorf and the Daily Mail Newspaper, and that was the 'start' of Rolex association with famous sportsmen/woman and explorers.Actually this swim, was a 'vindication' swim, and this time Mercedes Gleitze only made it about 4/5 of the way across. So the vindication swim was not a complete success, but this Rolex Oyster, strapped round her neck came out of the water working perfectly.My 1929 Silver Octagon Oyster.In its box:Here is the young Mercedes Gleitze, with the 'oyster' around her neck:and her actual watch:RegardsAdam
