subbiesrock

Thanks to all the nice people on this site, including PeteM, I now have a 312 Puretime in my Basket. Thank you for caring "subbiesrock"

:-)

Most welcome, however I have an ulterior motive... you guys are all my "Guinea Pigs" i'm looking forward to a 320 review and a comment on the sunken date wheel before jumping in

You finally got it wet? That's a big step C

So who DOES have the best sub?

Noone is as gentle and caring as PeteM to guide you through the pitfalls and tribulations of Noobdom.

Many of the members are looking forward to the Angus / Puretime 312/20/59 release, should be a matter of days so you asked the question at exactly the right time

Good work guys

These questions remind me of some recent posts regarding waterproofing and such

I've read the Watch Snob for a while now, the writers (and there are more than one, I guarantee it) always put on a good-natured rubbing. Perhaps we could answer those banal questions with similar zest?

This guy would have done far far better to pay full retail at his local watch store... In-house guarantee, return to base, and would have saved a bundle... It's utterly ironic and almost laughable that the rep dealers here are so eager to help. Considering the exorbitant costs for gens, one would think decent customer service is what contributes to the watch costing so much. Stories like the above make one's blood boil...

Terrible

See, you guys are looking at this ALL wrong... You need to see it in context...

There... Now doesn't it all make sense???

not quite the same impact as oh, say a Yellow Rolls Royce, eh?

Oh, I dunno about that...

This pretty fly too...

Perhaps you meant this?

And I'd bet you a yellow Rolls Royce Drophead you wouldn't say no to that...

i carry a gun in my pocket everyday.

not to thread crap

althought i would like to know where your from as well, where you can carry these knives?

My point exactly, I'm assuming you also have a CCW license and are well versed and well trained in its use.

A pocket knife is equally deadly and obviously very available, hence the comment. I didn't say don't buy them, I'd love to have one of these Microtechs, I wouldn't carry it on a night out on the town though

Still getting a flak jacket for my 'roo though, he's a friendly bastard but all you Yanks want to do is blow his head off with your .45's!

P.S. The last time I saw a kanga was about 5 years ago, and it was on the side of the road and very much dead

How funny, I only wore Panerai up until about 18 months or so ago, got rid of all of them, and wear exclusively Breitling now.

Mike, we've got the answer

Unix over here sold all his PAMs, and obviously Breitling has repaid his dedication by sponsoring all his reps...

My Hawaiian Brother sent me my old 6152-1 for a transplant! i just thought it would be neat to take a quick pic before it goes under the knife:D

I thought the 44mm was big... Holy crapola! That thing looks HUUUGE!

(just going to drop in a pre-emptive "that's what she said" )

That Fiorillo did some great work on his first batch... The new divers look fantastic too

Breitlng sponsor all sorts of events, they are also heavily involved in the Red Bull Air Race series (almost every pilot is wearing a superquartz B-1 or similar).

This achievement is pretty special, but no doubt costly. It should be no wonder that they charge 5000+ bucks for a 350 dollar movement in a stainless steel case

But credit where credit is due, they make some gorgeous pieces. I'll always be a Breitling guy (even though I wear a PAM 111 daily)

Now that's not something you see often :)Very nice Reserve de Marche

On its own, it doesn't look too bad actually, but it is ABSOLUTE SACRILEGE to do that to a vintage piece... I'm having a growing appreciation for these vintage Daytonas, especially the panda dials... Gorgeous watches.

love the attempt to circumvent the system! EPIC FAIL!

I caught this before it got nuked, it WAS a pretty clever post, if I'm fair to the OP...

Paraphrased loosely...

"I'm having trouble uploading pictures of my (insert watch model) and it's a shame because It's (insert amazing-sounding description of said watch) and I was wanting to sell it...

Nicely played

Koz u mite accidentally kill subbie's Kangaroo!

Hahaha! Bite me Hike

Yanks and their preoccupations with concealed weapons... I have found the need to take Krav Maga lessons because of concealed-carrying crazies like you!

But this retracting knife genuinely irks me. It's obviously much easier to obtain than a gun, and it's so small it could probably be concealed easily, you just don't know who could be carrying one.

Take home point, I'm getting my kangaroo a kevlar-blocked bullet-proof vest...

That's an automatic knife, are you allowed to carry those where you're located?

It worries me knowing that people have these in their pockets...

What about this Daunwaun from 2006? Just finished reading the thread, what an a-s-s-h-a-t

Can you make sterling silver buckles without the skulls and oxidation? Same shape, just without the finishing steps?

This is one to add to the ever-growing list... Great detail on the movement too...

How's the AR? It doesn't look like any mods are required for this one? Even the lume is apparently very good.

That small red hand on the Yachtie, is that for timing a specific type of 10-hour long Yacht race? Jeeez!

They could have at least done the GMT hand as well, I don't really mind it, but the lume seems to be applied quite badly in parts

I'm viewing the pic on a crappy iPhone screen and can see the shocking lume application, it's TERRIBLE!!!!!

What a piece of crap...

Edit:

Also, look at the 10, 12 and 14 bezel markers and how horribly inconsistent the enamel application is... That's shocking! Plus the PVD looks crap, I think it's TiAlN, which fingerprints like crazy.

Not sure if a girl's wrist can pull off a 44mm mini Fiddy. I'll try a 44mm Luminor on a friend's wrist tomorrow, she always says the 111 is so 'manly'

I have grown out of hating the B01 bezel into being able to handle it, becuase I like the rest of the watch so much. Really do like the GMT complication. Bout time B got into adding onto their B01 module as it was designed for.

It's refreshing to see that they can at least justify their high prices somewhat by offering an in-house movement, something that much younger companies such as Maurice Lacroix have been doing for some time now...
