HEY JOE I DON’T THINK SO!

This came FedEx today! Awesome with the new Ceramic Bezel! I bought a Blue Ceramic non Chronograph when they first came out! My Grandfather was a huge Longines fan!

My PADI Certified Rescue Diver Daughter Hailey in the Bahamas. My new Certina PH200M Diver from Switzerland! Great Partnerships like Certina and the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s commitment to raise awareness and habitats of Sea Turtles in the Caribbean!

Rolex Golf!

It is nice to get something accomplished! Fixed my Omega Bracelet and removed a link from my GMT II. Took a heck of a lot time!

Breitling goes with Bold Colors on this Super Ocean Heritage 57 Limited Edition timepiece. Commemorating 1957 The year the SuperOcean was first launched. Super Ocean Heritage II with the new Ceramic Bezel is on the very top of my “Seven Day Week Interchangeable” must have list. My proclivity toward Dive Watches is lifelong and I have had my eyes on Breitling Super Ocean Heritage since they first introduced the Aluminum Bezel lineup in 2007. I have had several Breitling models throughout the years and gave my eldest Son Rich my SuperOcean. The Heritage II also introduced a new movement along with the Ceramic Bezel for their 60th Anniversary Heritage II launch. Breitling co-designed the new movement with Tudor on a quid pro-quo basis. Breitling provided the skeleton BO1 movement for Tudor’s Black Bay range and Breitling got an optimized 70 hour power reserve and a hell of a warranty. (5 years) All is well in the Tudor and Breitling collaboration world! Getting back to my S.D.W.I. With exhaustive searching I found a new Blue 42mm shark mesh bracelet for 3k and was just about to pull the trigger. Now they do this to me. I like it!

Pre Invicta and Post Invicta! Left we have the The “Airman” and on the right we have a “Combat” these are arguably the most famous Glycine models. Glycine was founded in 1914 and they were primarily known for making movements for other Maisons. The Global Economic downturn of the late 1920’s brought along some innovations that propelled the Manufacture into Aviation instrumentation. The “Airman” was born from that same dedication to flight instruments. Later in the 1950’s when Blancpain and Rolex were neck and noose for the Diver crown Glycine introduced their most famous and Best Selling Model in their history. The “Combat” was a huge hit and it is still to this day! Glycine was acquired by Invicta and has made some changes that are not so popular including their Logo! Subtle changes albeit subtle is about all you can expect from Company over a Century in the making!

This just in from Brooklyn! I received this sans 3 links from the factory. The North American Service center for Alpina and Frederique Constant Geneva, is right up the street in Torrance. The incredibly conscientious representative I spoke with was not only knowledgeable but very understanding as well! She spoke with a slight touch of empathy that some of the other Swiss Watch Maison’s could learn a thing or two from! I received the links in a day! Thank you Alpina!

Some of my favorites!
