Introducing the Breitling Transocean Chronograph 1915, A Mono-Pusher Column Wheel Chrono With New In-House Caliber
While we're die-hard vintage Breitling fans, we can recognize good development when we see it. A couple of months ago we reported on the Breitling Transocean Chronograph. That model hankered for its roots and introduced a vintage theme and a simpler two-register layout. The new Transocean Chronograph?1915 takes that development?a step further by introducing a new dial design, new case and, most importantly, a new manufacture caliber.?The Transocean 1915 starts with a 43 mm by?14.6 mm case in polished stainless steel. Instead of applied indexes like its predecessor, the Transocean 1915 has printed Arabic numerals. Two registers, arabic numerals and a push piece at 2 o'clock ¨C?many?HODINKEE readers should be thinking "montbrillant" (hence 1915, before Breitling introduced the second pusher in the '30s). 2 OF 3 Naturally, we could do without the date, but the narrow window doesn't seem to distract from the dial as much as date windows can. Moreover, maybe you're a pilot or s

Please Help ID Watch / Price Advice
I have not had an Omega since I was a teenager, and as a young adult was stupid enough to give it away, as it was manual wind without a calendar and I thought that I would have no use for it. It was a beautiful stainless steel Sea Master, with silver markers, and a sweep second hand. No date! I recently saw an ad for the following watch but do not know what vintage it is. It has a Calibre 269 and the case measures about 35mm and it is about 42mm lug to lug. Has an aftermarket band with an Omega buckle. Here is a pic of it below. Can anyone tell me what vintage it is. Model would be great, but I know that is hard. He is asking about $700 for it. Not even sure what it is worth? I am thinking about buying it for my son. Any help or advice would be helpful.

Code Yellow Black steel
Opps... i did it... just bought a non-Rolex watch... I've had Breitlings in the past and liked them ... switched to a sub guy and now got myself this... kind of impulsively as far as my purchases go. Its enormous and taking some getting used to but I really dig the black steel. Still, my Sub-centric self is telling me maybe i should just sell it Took it to the beach today and it was nice having a watch thought that felt as rugged as the terrain I was on. Granted... its probably not as tough as a sub but sure looks mean as hell.What do yall think?

So, I sold the BLNR...
...and almost immediately regretted it. Lots of reasons for selling, but I like to flip and change things up, and we had a good run. And prices seems to be up right now, so why not?The problem was, I did it on kind of a whim, and had no backup plan. It was my only watch! Sure, I have an old Seiko that appears to be about 34mm and is beat up, has an uncomfortable aftermarket strap with a deployment buckle that I can never seem to deploy. And I forgot how much I dislike Quartz watches. They give off a magnetic flux that interferes with the voices in my head.So, what to do? Well, I've had Omegas in the past, and thought I'd go there again, and after some research and shopping, I got the black ceramic Seamaster pictured below. I like the heft, the look and it wears well. It's not a Rolex, by no means, but it also cost less than a new Tudor, or an OP, or pretty-much anything that we Rolex aficionados would want.Omega has finally moved away from those gawd-awful pins in the bracelet

Fake? Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 Limited Edition?
I found a good deal on an Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 Limited Edition white-dial watch, the seller does not have all the papers thus selling for less than it would go for with the papers... BUT, I wanted to know what I needed to look for to determine if its indeed a fake or a real one?Thanks!
