Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier Extra Large Watch W6920063

New from Techn¨¦: The Merlin Collection
Popular “budget” brand, Techn¨¦ looks to have another winner on their hands with the recently released Merlin Collection. The military inspired pieces – reminiscent of airplane cockpit instrumentation and early mil watches – are available in a time (with seconds) only or a multi-function version. ?The movement inside of each is a Seiko Instruments quartz movement, specifically the VD78.A quick look at the specs reveal a very moderate 38mm size with 20mm lugs and a mineral crystal. Water resistance is shallow at 50M, which is logical for a watch with pilot-styling. The watch has a number of options for the strap at purchase: NATO, canvas or cowhide leather options are available for each model. The multi-function provides day of the week and date over the time only version.Prices for the time only models are $190-$200 and the multi-function runs $240-$250, depending on your strap choice.Tecnh¨¦ has continued to put out well designed military-inspired timepieces and

Incoming Seiko¡¯s Divers 200m - S726
I purchased these divers with the intent to mod them ¡°calm down all read the rest¡±. I have many 70¡¯s Seiko watches and I leave them original, but these divers are not as old and the mods that I will be doing to them are very easily reversed back to the original Seiko design if I wanted to. I went to our local spring ATL GTG and I saw some real nice modded Seiko¡¯s well done and good color combinations. I purchased the Divers 200m because it had modded parts available and you can pick them up for a reasonable price to try my first attempt at modding a diver. I have seen many modded divers out on the web and most are impressive, however some are scary and looked like the person whom modded them where color blind, wanted a pimp¡¯s watch, or just tasteless. Came up with a method to see how the mods would look on the watch before purchasing the any modded parts. You can imagine the mods in your head but till you see them together on the watch you just don¡¯t know. I used a photoshop type of

Giving my son's my watches?
I think for Christmas this year I'm going to give my son's my two 7750 based chronos.I'll have them polished before hand, but the sad fact is I just cant read them too well anymore and those little sub dials and such. I hope to show them how to poperly operate and use them. I'm worried thought they won't wear them much.My oldest has two nicer watches but will only wear them for certian occasions which is good as long as these will take the place of those.My youngest I think will wear his, but not to school.I guess I'm wondering if this is the wrong or right thing to do?They might end up just collecting dust because they may be too much for them.It's just an idea I'm kicking around...not going to sell them but figured why let them languish in the safe. Latley I'm having to force myself to wear anything other than a G-Shock.I am however, eyeing Breitlings again. Here's what I was going to give them:The Hammy for my youngest because he's smaller and the strap will fit him and the Longi

Incoming.. 5712 ... Let's see your pics!
Hey All,I've been waiting for some time to get a 5711, but I wanted to buy it brand new vs pre-owned. I was offered one by my AD in December, but it wasn't a good time for me to bring a 5711 into the fold.After a recent discussion with my AD, they let me know that they received a 5712. I did some research and decided to stretch a bit to get into the 5712 vs the 5711. I currently own a 5167, so also felt the 5711 would be a bit of an overlap.No pics yet as I pick it up this weekend, but I would love to hear from current 5712 owners! How do you enjoy your 5712's? Anyone else want a 5711 and decide to stretch to the 5712 instead? Was it worth it for you? Would love to see your 5712's!! The wait is killing me, but I've waited quite some time to get a Nautilus, so two more sleeps won't kill me Thanks!!
