      I didn't have the Breitling at the time so I got this to see me through the bare wrist months:

      its my manual work watch now, until i get either a submariner proper or a daytona
      I put my Omega in for repair and service in April and its ETA for completion is December as the dual needs replacing and an exact replacement is so rare to source

        if you bend the wrist too much it will shut off the watch.

          I lust after that now instead.
          I've been looking closely at that Pepsi/PanAm GMT. I probably won't get one as I want the Omega Moon Watch (and I'm not so filthy rich that I can just get both right now).

          But... if I did I don't know whether to get an old vintage one, or the newer release. I think the faded steel bezel colours can be kinda cool.

          Rolex need to sell those watches without the cyclops though. Then people like me who like Omega might stop seeing Rolex as so much of an older mans brand.

              Mine;

              1. 2014 Breitling for Bentley 6.75 (my favourite)
              2. 2002 Breitling B1 (my everyday watch)
              3. 1967 Breitling Cosmonaute (in gold - my dress watch)
              ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

                Never mind. I only just realised the new release of the pepsi bezel only comes in white gold. So if affordable steel is on the menu I have to go vintage (without the ceramic bezel).

                  Over nine months later the watch is finally back from its trip around Europe after being sent to be repaired
