I'll pass.

Ok, time for some Marmite

Going to jump in the pool later, time for the fish.

Maybe at one time, after all Panerai does make a great looking watch

I dont know if those three words should be used together

Nice and classy Sixx. On a side note, your message box is full.

I thought it just looked like a marathon military cheapie. The cover is an entirely different bracelet.

This is one I am going to have to remember.

I dont think I would call any of your watches simple J

distance

who in the world would drive that thing?

Terrible

Thanks for taking the time to do that. Very nice, and it answered a few questions for me.

I love how you have it all integrated That was a very comfortable bracelet on the one I had.

Oh how I wish Breitling sponsored me. Or at least discounted their service fees. I could have bought a couple of reps for what they got from me in the past year.

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.

Anyone else been to the Smithsonian lately? Breitling Orbiter 3 Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones guided the balloon Breitling Orbiter 3 up and away from the Swiss Alpine village of Chateau d'Oex at 8:05, GMT, 1March 1999. They landed in the Egyptian desert 19 days, 21 hours and 55 minutes later (21 March 1999), having traveled a distance of over 29,000 miles and completed the first non-stop flight around the world with a free balloon. The success of Breitling Orbiter 3 was based on the lessons learned during two previous attempts to fly around the globe in 1997 (Breitling Orbiter) and 1998 (Breitling Orbiter 2). That experience enabled the Breitling team to develop trustworthy technical systems and a basic strategy that called for Piccard and Jones to pilot their balloon to altitudes of over 30,000 feet, where jet stream winds would drive it across the Pacific at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. Breitling Orbiter 3 was designed and built by Cameron Balloons, of Bristol, England. When fully inflated it stands 180 feet (55 meters) tall. The envelope is constructed of a nylon fabric welded to a helium-tight membrane covered with an outer protective skin that is coated with aluminum on both sides to provide improved thermal control. The shape and special features of the envelope were designed to insure maximum temperature stability in order to conserve helium and reduce propane consumption. The envelope is a Rozier design, combining the advantages of helium and hot air technologies to create a balloon capable of extended flights. A large cell of helium is placed within a specially designed hot air balloon. Six propane-fed burners warm the helium at night, while a system of insulation and vents reduce the effect of solar heating during the day. The result is a balloon that remains at a fairly constant altitude, conserving helium and making it possible to remain aloft for extended periods. The propane gas that fueled the six burners of Breitling Orbiter 3 was contained in 28 titanium cylinders mounted in two rows along the sides of the gondola. Their epic journey was applauded as one of the great aviation adventures of the century. Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain spoke for millions around the world in a special message to the balloonists: "The news of your splendid achievement has delighted us all."

Do you have a front on shot of this? Would like to see the date mag if you have time. Cheers

+1 FWIW they obviously put them back up, they are ready for the buying.

Trying to get some scenic backgrounds.

Is that an AP bracelet?
