Frogman? It's a diving watch. It's got more functionality than analog dive watches, but isn't nearly as feature-packed as a true dive computer.

to each his own but for me that mercedes 'hand' is tacky as hell and the logo above invicta looks like half ass breitling wings.

i know nothing about watches. i saw it and liked it. got it and i think it works and looks well. if it's intended to be a fake rolex, i don't really care. this is the first watch i've ever owned that i've worn more than one day without throwing it in a drawer never to be used again.

Hello,

I'm in las vegas currently and I want to buy a breitling for bentley motors.

I was at a jewelary and the price of the bentley motors model with steel bracelet was 8830$
The price off the same watch with leather bracelet was 7355$
A huge differance. So I was asking myself, what is the price of a steel bracelet alone, so without the watch?
I was thinking about buying it with the leather bracelet and buying the steel bracelet apart with it.
Is that an option? And you guys know what the price is off the steel bracelet alone??

Ciao

quick question for those who have 'expensive' watches that you dont wear all the time.. are you constantly having to adjust the time as the mechanical battery dies if its idle for too long? ive got an oris that will only last around 8hrs idle and it pisses me off big time (barely enough to take off while sleeping).. I sent it back to get the battery checked and its still the same story..
on a related note, what is the average time for idle in 'upmarket' watches?

Automatic watches have a spring that winds up with arm/wrist movement.

Anywhere from a day or two all the way up to 10 days reserve.

You can get a watch winder to keep your watch in when not in use.

Why do I have this feeling that whenever I see a Panerai, all I can think of are douche bags who wear ed hardy/have spiked hair? Haha I can't get that image out of my head.

Gorgeous PAM, wear it well =].

And maybe it's regional Solsek, in my neck of the woods Breitling seems to be the exclusive choice of douchebags.

How can you guys stereotype people by the watches they wear? Watches are beautiful things that should be enjoyed by all, that's why they are worn.

ATM in Vegas,

You guys know some jewelers with a good collection of breitling ( prefer bentley) ? Checked out tourneau, hayd park, roman times, and going to check out some jewelers at wynn tonight.
