The Seiko looks more like a Daily wearable watch, whereas the Bulova looks like something you would only want to wear when dressing up.

You want a cheap cool watch, Russia has got a ton of them. Some are coming Eta movements. Actually I think Swatch may own some of the brands now.

Which Breitling are you planning on getting? I really like the Chronomat B01.

I saw a serious deal on a Zenith Chronograph & Date with el Primero movement, screw down pushers, bracelet, new about $2500. That's quite a deal about 50% off retail... Must've been a disco model. Had a Blancpain type dial, really sharp.

I like the B01, but also hate it, lol. It's just different than the rest of the Breitling's, not what I'm used to seeing. It's like a new age Breitling. Really love the two tone version, the others, not so much.

The Bentley series looks like a fake Breitling series.
The Navitimer or Chronomat are the two lines that really say Breitling. The airfield that Brietling elludes to in their ads is in Grenchen. There's a small plane on one of their factory roof.
Brietling does a good job with two tone watches and (although not big fan of the marque) make the best gold watch. A chronomat in 18K gold with blue dial is as flashy as watch can get without looking corny.

Here's a cool picture of the Cartier HQ's in CH. Kind of out in no where compared to the rest of the industry. The hwy facing windows are all mirrored with the Cartier logo. Must feel ritzy working there!

Here is a cheapie that I bought a last week. It is a Akribos XXIV Saturnos. I hope to get my nice watch in a day or 2.

Me too...like the watch, hate the price! LOL!
I love quality watches but they don't suit my lifestyle anymore. All I wear now is my cheapo Garmin Forerunner...not too classy but it sure helps me monitor my heart rate when I'm at the gym! My Omega Seamaster has been sitting in a safe for the last year.
