Bremont Codebreaker Limited Edition Watch Announced
Bremont just announced its latest limited edition piece, the Codebreaker watch. Much like the?EP-120, the P-51, and last year's Victory, this new model follows Bremont's pattern of creating limited edition watches that are connected to famous military icons and often incorporate materials sourced from specific historic examples. The Codebreaker commemorates Bletchley Park's involvement in World War II military intelligence. Essentially the headquarters for British code breaking and decryption, Bletchley Park is responsible for unlocking the secrets of the German Enigma and Lorenz machines, which helped to greatly expedite the end of the war. Bremont is paying tribute to the successes of Bletchley Park by designing a watch that not only looks the part but also incorporates actual physical elements from Bletchley Park and the technologies they helped to develop (or crack). Additionally, Bremont will share some of the proceeds from the sale of the Codebreaker to help support continued pla

Red 12 question
Hi. New member here. I've wondered about the red 12 on many dials of early 20th century watches. What is the significance(if any)? Is there any particular reason makers put on a red numeral at the 12 position? Just wondering. Thanks

Saying hello . . .
Hi,I'm a regular on another watch forum (don't know if it's bad form to mention it so I'll err on the side of caution) and heard about this forum over there. Thought I'd drop by and say hi. So, um . . . 'Hi'I'm not a collector, only got the one Breitling but it's a B-1 and I love it. If this place is anything like the other you'll want a picture so here goes . . . A shot of the B-1 playing in the recent snow we've had here.I'll leave it at that for now, thanks for looking.Rik

Flipoholics - tell your stories here!
I just set a personal record. I received a watch late yesterday and didn't like it because it was just too big. I made a couple inquiries (you know who you are - thanks guys!) and posted it this morning at 9:02. By 9:54 I had it sold for full asking price. Inside 20 more minutes I had 2 back up offers, but I had to tell them they were second and third on the depth chart. By 10:51 I had the money in my Paypal account. It's already boxed and labeled to go out tomorrow morning. If I had time today (I was busy all afternoon at the store) I would have shipped it even quicker.Anybody else been as impetuous in flipping a watch?

Use Patek with no booklet or cert (paperwork)
I was look at a used patek 5036, but it did not have booklets or the cert. It just have the box, outerbox, watch and the stilet. The watch is probably at least 10-15 years old if not more. Otherwise everything else seem to be in order. You are not going to be able to get a replacement cert. So my question is how much of a discount should I associated with not have the booklet and cert. thanks
