Hublot Classic Fusion Black Dial Black Rubber Strap Men's Watch 561.CM.1770.RX

C&B Ravenna + Lum Tec M20 = wow!
Loving my new "Ravenna" gray strap from Crown and Buckle. This strap is gorgeous! I got it at Christmas and consequently haven't been able to take off the M20 since! In the last 2 weeks the strap has already started to change, and it's only getting better with age! it's developing lighter grays in certain areas, and just OOZES character! The "raw" edges are just the look this watch needs. It is the perfect compliment to the carbon fiber dial. It is sporty, tough, and classy all in one! I wish my pictures could capture the depth of colors in this strap better, but i think it gets the point across. Great work as usual Thomas, loving this one! I'll let you all judge for yourselves....Kevin

Which Navitimer
I'm looking at Breitling watches online and have decided I really like the look of the Navitimer, I also like the leather straps. What would you recommend as far as Navitimers go.

Did you know that COSC is only a ballpark figure?
I just returned from a short jaunt to the Edison Mall in Ft. Myers. While there, I visited Bailey Banks and Biddle to ask them about a watch I purchased a few months back that was running consistently at 7-8 seconds fast per day. My question to them was what it would take to have it regulated and how much (if it's not covered under warranty). Now, this is a $4,000 watch that is cosc certifed - so we're not talking about an inexpensive piece.The response I received was idiotic to be polite. I was told in no uncertain terms that COSC was only a "ballpark figue" and no jeweler would "stress out" over a few seconds. They would not regulate the watch and would only send it to the manufacture at my expense for a complete overhaul.Considering the rudeness of the employee and the curt manner of his response, Bailey Banks and Biddle has seen me cross their doorway for the last time. I can't believe the rude treatment and how easily they blew me off.Ok, I'm finished, I just wanted to rant

Is everyone a breitling hater till they own one?
my first watch was an omega and quite frankly I thought breitling was an inferior brand. i found them to be expensive and the ADs abrasive. i was given an Breitling colt by my parents upon my sisters wedding. truth be told i thought it was a beautiful tough watch but too small. so i wore it with some disdain. i was almost purposefully rough with it. taking it on every college adventure. i found it held up very well and drew positive attention even though i didn¡¯t like it as much as a sub or smp. i grew to love the brand perhaps because i didnt have enough for rolexes until my late 20s. i bought a chronomat, a blackbird big date, and an avenger gmt ii. although i like rolex more i found i was allergic to 904l steel, which allowed certain five digit models and PM. I think rolex movements and wat hes may be a bit tougher but i have grown to appreciate the fine qualities of a breitling, their build and beauty has made me a fan of the brand. i have wondered am i the only reluctant breitl
