Breitling Navitimer World Steel Stainless Steel Case Stainless Steel Bezel Mens Watch

Flying B No. 3 on the wrist!
But I didn't buy it.. While in Tampa for the GTG last weekend we of course stopped in to Old Northeast Jewelers in International Plaza to say hi to the guys. As always, had to try some one of the great timepieces they have, including this one. One 'gap' in my collection is a square-cases watch. One of the top 5 contenders for it is the No. 3. Smaller than the Flying B chrono, but I think it fit pretty dang well. And any of you that know me know I'm a sucker for the big date. Add in the MOP indices, black & silver dial on a croc strap and it's just fantastic.So what do you guys think? (and Matt, no fair trying to shove me off the fence & into the "buy" side - yet)

MG 29er big ...
I downloaded the MG catalog,,, i hv been eyeing on this for a while and this 29er big is really catching my attentionquestions are : 1. as i dont see ( or probably haven't) any AD down here in Jakarta City, would it be possible to order this directly to the manufacturer? 2. what would be the price for this 29er ? white dial with brown strap...3. Can anyone give any comment on this watch - movement - accuracy etc ? Appreciate your reply and thanking you in advancePete J

Has anyone confirmed the Powermatic 80 has a plastic escapement?
The only thing I've seen for certain is that it is a high-tech material. Any other plastic parts (assuming the escapement is)? Any reason to be concerned about it? They seem to advertise whatever the escapement is made of as an improvement. Opinions welcome, but facts are what I'd really like. As in "Tissot announced the material is ..." I bought one in spite of knowing the answers because I couldn't find them and love the design aesthetically.Is this just something that will take time for purists to accept? I remember when Glock came out with their first Model 17 many people referred to it as "that plastic gun" and it took a while to gain acceptance.

Do watches need to be kept running?
Do watches that need to be wound need to be kept wound? If I had a watch that only got occasional duty (say once a week) and so spend days at a time stopped, would that cause any long term problems? Should it be pulled out and wound every day even if not being worn?I know that many mechanical devices will seize up if not operated regularly; I'm guessing the same will happen to a watch. But would a wear every week or so be enough to keep it running?

Spectacular Incoming
Grateful to all who really talked me in getting this piece. The finishing detailing contrast is just avant garde AP skill. It was difficult letting go of the RG 42mm but after wearing this all day and being spell bound by its presence on the wrist no regrets. In my humble opinion it qualifies for a statement piece
