Watch Insider Unveils 3 New Breitling Watches
This is what I would call a nice line extension. In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I offer a look at three newly released Breitling watches (or ¡°Instruments for Professionals,¡± as Breitling would call them): the Breitling Transocean Chronograph Edition, Breitling Chronomat 44 Raven, and Breitling Galactic 44.  The Breitling?Transocean Chronograph Edition plays with the history of Breitling. Inspired by a model from 1958 (an ultra-precise, anti-shock, anti-magnetic and super-water-resistant watch that was released during the boom in intercontinental air travel), the Transocean reflects the spirit of great journeys and luxury long-haul aircraft. The watch features a two-tone dial with two vintage-style counters, and a double caseback complete with a cover. The Breitling Transocean Chronograph Edition limited series reinterprets the “contemporary-classic” style of the Transocean line; it is a tribute to Breitling¡¯s long history of making chronographs. Spec

BLACK Elgin Trench Watch, Restored to US Army Specifications
97 years ago this week on October 24, 1916 the United States Army revised the general specification for wrist watches from the original November 3, 1914 version. The revised specification required that all wrist watches cases were to be painted black, along with the crown and strap buckle. Another change was made to the general specification sometime in 1917 probably. In mid-1918 another revision was made requiring that the dial of the watch be black in color as well but this document has been lost in time so you are just going to have to take my word on this one. According to the National Archives in Washington DC which include the records of the Quartermaster General, the records of the Adjutant General and the records of the Chief Quartermaster General of the American Expeditionary Forces during the Great War the general specification for wrist watches documents no longer exist. So, I was kind enough to give them a complete copy of the October 24, 1916 general specification. I also

New member with very brief intro and the odd photo.
I thought it best to introduce myself as a new member by sharing my latest watch, CW Harrison Single Pusher C900. I'm simply described as no expert just an enthusiast. I'm looking forward to sharing many more posts with you. I do hope you like my photographs. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Help with vintage Omega Constellation please?
Hello all,I'm a Rolex guy generally, but just inherited the pictured gold Omega from my grandfather, who apparently bought it in the UK in the 1940s or 1950s. It works but needs a service. Can anyone tell me any information about year of manufacture and current price please (for insurance).Much obliged,James

Submersible Advice
I am just now getting back into Panerai after having owned a 005 and a 024 a few years back. To get myself re-acquainted, I went out and grabbed a new 8 movement base Radiomir and Luminor. I actually got the Luminor in a white dial (sacriledge I know) because I knew I would be adding a third Panerai in the near future. Initially I was completely sold on the 305 or 1305. I having seen the 682, I now have a conundrum. I like the 305/1305 partly because I do feel like an Luminor 1950 is best represented at 47mm. Somehow it seems more appropriate. I do not own any titanium pieces and the light weight of the metal has both upsides and drawbacks for me. The 682 is probably more practical as an everyday diver. I like that it's in steel. I worry that at 42mm, it just won't seem very Panerai at that size. My ideal would be a steel Luminor Submersible 1950 case at 44mm, but I am not sure one exists, and if it did, it doesn't have the looks of the 305 or 682. I know I could always get
