Citizen Eco-Drive POV Champagne Dial Gold-tone Ladies Watch EM0232-54P

My first Breitling-The Superocean
I had the day off yesterday and decided to visit a Breitling AD in the neighbouring town. I`ve had my eye on Breitling for quite a long time, but the sizes of the watches has sent me and my puny wrists off in shame everytime I came close to one, But this time I was set on trying one on for size. They had quite a good selection, but one in special caught my eye. A Nos Superocean. I recognised it immidiatly cause of the all lumed numbers, and being the lumeaddict that I am, I tryed it on. To my amazment it fitted really well! I was so shocked that without thinking I blurted out "I`ll take it!" With no thought to my finances I am now the very happy owner of my first Breitling! I love the sheer weight of it, it`s absolutely massive! But somehow it`s really well balanced and doesen`t slip around on my wrist at all! It`s my first watch with AR coating, and I am just blown away how it makes the dial pop! It`s like there`s no sapphire there at all! Well, enough chitchat. Here`s some picturesT

Those huge bezels
I was noticing this morning how much "smaller" my Rolex Submariner looked compared to my Milgauss, even though both are 40mm. I did some measuring and discovered that the Sub has a 28mm dial, the Milgauss has a 34mm dial. My SMP is 41mm, but the dial itself is only 31mm. The bezels on some dive watches are so big, they tend to dwarf the dial itself. The Sub's bezel accounts for 30% of the total measurement of the watch head. The SMP's bezel accounts for 24.4% of the watch head.

Have you ever gone from ROO to 15400 or Vice Versa? Why?
Just curious as to what motivation one might have for the change?Thanks!

70's era Breitling/Heuer? clone
Hi all-Recently, I grabbed up a vintage 70's chronograph on ebay for around 135 bucks. It was described as a mid 60's Kent brand chrono, but I recognized it as one of the many Valjoux 7734 variants of the early 70's. There were no pictures of the movement, but when it arrived I was pleased to discover a pristine 7734 under the hood.Anyway, I'm trying to figure out who actually made this watch. Kent was a brand an old department store named Finlay Straus used to import Swiss watches, and although the dial and movement are marked France, the movement is clearly stamped 7734. Swiss, right?The watch looks like a Breitling Datora 592 (among many other watches of that era). It has that barrel shaped case that so many off-brands used at the time, and it appears to be brass. Did Breitling or Heuer make the off brand versions of their watches for export? Here are some photos, including a jeweler's stamp I can't identify. Any insight would be interesting to me. Thanks in advance!Watch Front and
