Pulli, I’d call you “crazy” for other reasons (mostly the dangerous wildlife you encounter and photograph up close), but not for that trade.

I’ve always liked the James Cameron, but damn those things are HUGE!
That Blancpain is sharp!


eTripper, nice Helm! I don’t know if it’s your first or not, but you will not be disappointed! It’s hard to take mine off.

eTripper, can't say I've been a huge helm fan in the past but your watch could change my mind. Nice pieces.

Just picked up this titanium Tudor Pelagos 39 yesterday, lovin it so far.

The Blancpain on the prior page & the Helm at the top of this one are both nice!

That Tudor is very nice. Tudor definitely does good work with their movements. At 9 months mine is still running +/- 1 second per day.

Thanks, I agree, I have another Tudor BB41 green Harrods edition which keeps incredibly accurate time.

GCE61-
Nice Tudor!
The Pelagos is next on my list.
Im looking at the left handed one. Im not a lefty, but the slight little differences pretty much sold me.

Actually, the Khuraburi is my second Helm. I also, own a titanium Vanuatu. They are great micro-brand watches.

A question from a watch ignorant:

Want to know if a Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute is a worthy watch or not.
Not a watch person

I used to say no one is borne knowing everything. So you asking does not make you ignorant it makes you smart, smart enough to know to ask.
I have seen so many people on the watch forums asking if a watch is real after they bought it instead of showing pictures if available before buying a watch.

With that said is it a worthy watch, yes the early version Cosmonaut was worn by Scott Carpenter on the Mercury 7 space flight in 1962 so it has some history.


With all that said, worth it?
Depends on the price, who you are getting it from. A dealer a grey market seller or a private sale.
What kind of condition is it in, new, like new never worn, used. If used has it been recently serviced.

Also is it a complete set, watch including all the links if on a bracelet that it came with from Breitling, the original box it came with, original paperwork including warrantee card.

Bulova (Citizen) just re-released the Caravelle line and I couldn't resist.

Thank you for answering.

There’s bo actual watch. I decided i’d like a Cosmonaute Panda and that is all.
Not available in my country so there’s not even a hint of a price.

Would like to know if it a quality watch and fitted for daily casual use.
I only own an Omega Moonwatch because the Moon, and a Diver 300 because i had a Speedmaster so i wanted a Seamaster.
Those are my only two noteworthy watches.

Have the social life of an Oyster and travel probably less than one.
It will be likely worn from the bedroom to the kitchen and on special occasions to the shopping mall two blocks from home.

Thank tou for your time.

I have the titanium Khuraburi.
Im not gonna lie, it’s hard to take off!
I wear one for a few days, change it, wear that one for maybe a few weeks, change it.
I have to toss on a suit, the Omega is on my wrist.
Not that I don’t wear my other watches, but that Khuraburi seems to spend more time on my wrist than the other watches!

That is a nice collection.

Many years ago I learned about the Speedmasters history being the first watch on the moon and that fascinated me.

At one point I was ready to buy one and as luck would have it I live not to far from a highly recommended Grey Market watch dealer and he had one.

I made the deal and was now an owner of a Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch. After getting it home and wearing it for a while I noticed, for me it was a little to small for my taste so I put it away.

Fast forward a few years and I decided to sell it to fund something else. Luckily the market had gone up for this watch and sold it back to the dealer I bought it from for about what I paid for it.

Looking back on this that was a mistake.

First, the market over the next few years went up on that watch to the point if I had waited a few more years I might have, in a private sale doubled my money.

Second, now I just want one but that is not going to happen, oh well.

Once again you have a nice collection.

That has been my go to the last few months. Almost daily. Coupled with the titanium engineer's bracelet, it's light and classy!

Did you say Titanium Khuraburi with the Titanium Engineer bracelet?

Johnny, we're twins!

So I was able to try this on today. Unfortunately they don’t have one for sale. He said the only one they have is the display, and that if they acquire one, I “would need a much stronger relationship with them”. I’m pretty cool with the young man that works at Rolex. He said that if they are to receive any, that they would go to their most high value customers. It’s all part of business.

Like the Ferrari business model. And partly the reason Jay Leno doesn't own any Ferrari cars.
IMO, you drop cash for it, it should be available if they have it.

Well outside my budget [Rolex & Ferrari] so maybe I miss the mark on it.
