My brother just e-mailed me looking for suggestions...
His fiancee is looking to get him a gift for their wedding, so he e-mailed me with this:"I¡¯ve been toying with the idea of getting a watch in the $100-$500 range for a while, so the wedding gift thing sounds like a good opportunity. Since you¡¯re into watches, maybe you can help me find some good options to think about. I¡¯m looking for something that¡¯s not modern/sporty like my current watch. I kind of want something that could have been inspired by a 15th or 16th century boat/ship/yacht/tallship. Does that make any sense? Something more Breitling-eque than Tag Hauer. Let me know if you have any ideas."Given the price range my first thoughts were with Tissot, Christopher Ward or mayyybe Hamilton, but the "inspired by a 15th or 16th century boat/ship/yacht/tallship" thing is really throwing me off. I have no idea what he even has in mind.Can anyone think of anything? Quartz/mechanical doesn't really matter. His only watch right now is a Tag Aquaracer Chrono quartz, so he might pref

Found this in a vintage store near my home.. Anyone have any information about it?

Planet Ocean Chrono Olympic v Planet Ocean Ti Lm 8500
Just picked up the new Planet Ocean 8500 Titanium Liquid Metal today and I love it. The color is extremely difficult to capture in photos, it's a dark blue color which I love. The case and bracelet are lightweight but feel very solid. Overall I am really pleased with the new addition. Since the boneheads at Rolex won't make a blue ceramic sub in SS, this one has scratched my itch perfectly for a blue dial watch.

Information wanted on this steel Patek
When my father passed 2 years ago he left behind this beautiful Patek. I know that he inherited it from his father who passed in 99'. Neither one ever wore the watch, and it has been collecting dust for decades. This has however, kept it in a pristine condition. I am fairly certain that the watch is made of stainless steel, as I've compared the colour of it with both other SS items aswell as WG and P.There is a few things that I would like to know.1. What reference is this? 2. Where shall I go to replace the awful aftermarket bracelet with a leather strap + buckle? I'm from Sweden and have no AD's nearby. However, I will be visiting Geneva in ~2 weeks to visit CERN with my school. It might seem strange that I have never researched this watch thoroughly before as I'm addicted to watches haha, but I'm one out of two sons who both want it and we are yet come up with some sort of idea how to settle this. Therefore, the watch remains unworn and is rarely on my mind.
