Just a heads up......

There is a feature in the May issue of International Watch on 125 years of Breitling. Haven't read it yet, but some stuff on the B01 and Emergency and some timeline stuff.

On a related note........

For those interested I find International Watch to be consistently the best magazine out there on watches.

Roffensian,

George was nice enough to include a copy of that issue with the diver pro I ordered. Pages 60-69.

I was just reading through the newest Watch Time which features Panerai watches and their in-house calibers. I fear that I am moving closer and closer to purchasing a Panerai with in-house movement. :watchout: The whole concept of in-house movement also has increased my intrests in the new Breitling Chronomat B01. :bounce:

Thanks for the tip on International Watch Magazine Roff. I am going to check it out.

Well, whatever you do, don't look up PAM312 (or certain other numbers starting with 3). :lol:

I did, and one day my bank balance is going to hate me for it.

Back on topic, we get IW and Watch Time out here, but they're not easy to find (they're even rarer than The Ring, which hardly stocked anywhere) and by the time they get here they're old and expensive, I assume because of small-volume shipping. From what I've seen, I prefer IW.

But still not as bad as when you look up a PAM270 (I like I'm aiming for), or worse still a PAM275! :shock:

I just caved myself and put a deposit down for a PAM 321. Will be here around Xmas or in the new year... so I've got quite a painful wait in front of me!
I've been eyeing the PAMs for a long time now and couldn't resist the in-house movement,clear caseback and GMT function.
Can't believe I'd be a part of the Paneristi but the pull was just too strong!
But I'll always be into my Breitlings and can't wait to finally find the elusive blue dial UTC for my TT Chrono Avenger.

I have to agree Roff. I stumbled upon IW about a month ago and liked what I read a lot, so much so that I'm sure I'll go back. I agree with Otto that it's pretty rare to find and pretty expensive but it's a good mag. Might see if I can find the Breitling review...

Yes indeed, but they're a bit too distant to be a threat to me at the moment (I admit I have looked them up, and immediately thought "well that's not happening any time soon").

Of course, for a Big Pilot owner, they've got you well and truly in their sights. :lol:
