My Wolverines looked pretty bad against the Irish, Saturday. I guess it is a "building year" --Doc

I'd be interested in hearing from some of the Breitling Superocean Heritage owners out there who have had their watches for a while. Are you happy with the piece? Are the Swiss ETA versions worth the extra cash? Were they waterproof right from the dealer? I am looking hard at the black version from Silix, unless you have a better suggestion. Thanks, --Doc (sigsauerfan@hotmail.com)

+1 to Chris at Eurotimez. He is helping to set new standards for Quality in our favorite products. --Doc

Who gives a rip?

Beany: Sent you a PM...Maybe I can help. I have a like new TAG Link Chrono with the 7750 movement that doesn't get much wrist time. It runs great and looks just like the gen. I'd sell it if you are in the CONUS. Photos on request. --Doc

Going with a gen for most of this week.....Davosa Outback....Swiss ETA movement....A real Tank of a watch. --Doc

The Search engine is your friend.................

White dial Ingenieur can be picked up at the factory in Schaffhausen. Originally not made for distribution....Just sold to IWC employees and visitors to the factory museum and store. May be added to the catalog in 2008 or 2009 or maybe never. Rare and HTF....This one has ETA 2824-2 and keeps time to COSC standards......Love it. --Doc

I'll go with this one this AM.....Need to get at good wristie of it! It has become a new favorite.....The PAMs are getting jealous and, even though I wound them all this weekend and this morning, are fomenting a revolution in the watch drawer..... --Doc

Yep. That's it.

Don't the genuines have little round dots instead of the lines for the minute indices? It is a nice looking watch, but that flaw on the dial is pretty glaring. I think that you can find the gen here: http://www.patek.com/patek-philippe.html Trusty Andrew's reps have the ETA movement and the correct dial as show here: http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=2007 But it does not say it is an MBK watch. --Doc

DVD player croaked so I need a new one. Will be stepping up to the higher resolution TV soon, so I thought that I'd get either the Sony Blu-ray or HD-DVD system. Sony seems to be winning the format war, but the HD-DVDs are being whored out by Toshiba so what to buy is the question. Any suggestions from the cognoscenti here would be appreciated. Saw the Sony in action today and it is impressive....But Blu-ray discs run $35-40 and selection is limited...very limited. Thanks, --Doc

Section 8: Nice photos. I used to spend a little time around F-berg...And a lot of time at Green Top Sporting Goods down in Ashland..... --Doc

I've seen that watch in person at the Shreve in San Francisco, up near Chinatown....Quite a unique piece...

Big meeting today so I went with the dressier Day-Date...Sorry for the crappy photo but, hey, it was practically DARK out when I left for work. --Doc
