  1. Here's how its played. I will post a cropped pic of part of a watch. You guess what make and model it is. If you are correct, you get to post your choice of pics. Lets see who has the best eye for detail! To make it even more interesting, the pick can be of a gen or rep. See if you can guess that too. (not required to win the challenge though!)

    Have fun!

    To get things going I'll start with a fairly simple one...

    Gentlemen start your engines!

  2. Hi Andrew never mind all that....is that Navi not in yer hands yet....it's the most travelled watch on the planet.....!

    Post a pic of your buddy's desired TAG Chrono...and I'll let you know....!

    No, my Navi is still in transit, somewhere in Vancouver at last check. Hoping it will make an appearance sometime soon. The TAG I'm looking for looks like this.

  3. Be careful with ebay, you will notice the wording is misleading on the straps you are referring to. It says "Genuine leather Breitling strap", not a lie when you say "Genuine leather" breitling strap. These are reps and I cant comment on the quality. I have only seen one genuine deployment strap recently on ebay, a black sharkskin with a $400 reserve.

    I would look at BOB straps. They are reputable and have assured me that their Breitling straps are constructed to identical standards. For me the best indication of a gen/good rep strap is the thickness of the band at the lugs. Breitling straps look to be about 3mm at this point, and the thickness decreases as you move away from the lugs.

  4. Admin, I feel for you dude, but I don't think your being on jury duty would make sense as a reason for letting you go. Firstly, you've already done your time, and you are probably the least likely person in the firm to be called on again. It just doesn't make any sense. More likely is that the firm found someone to do your job for less money while you were away.

    I work in the Mutual Fund business in downtown Toronto, and I'll keep my eyes posted for anything in the accounting end of things for you. In the meantime, enjoy the weather and take some time to recharge!

  5. Online surveys usually aren't very accurate, as the subject heading alone is likely to draw the attention of those who have had issues. If I had a working 7750 I likely wouldn't even look at the post. If I had a dead 7750 I would pay close attention. So, likely Your survey is skewed. I would pay attention to Andrews comments. As a dealer, he likely has a lot better handle on failure rates of these units than anyone. My guess is that if there was a failure rate of 50% in the first 6 months he wouldn't even sell them.

    His advice mirrors exactly the advice The Zigmeister gave me when I asked him how to treat my 7750. Possibly the quality of these units is getting better, because I rarely see stories of anything more than slipping second hands when resetting.
