WEEKLY WRISTIES 06/22 - 06/28/0

[dave47]

Hey, Group! Welcome to the start of a new week during these contagious times. Keep up the effort to stay healthy and stay safe.

This BREITLING CHRONOMAT chronograph, purchased a few year ago, is the last Breitling from the brand's drawer of the watch box. (Technically, it's not the last, as I as yellow Sea Wolf on s/s but have worn that several times.) I researched this CHRONOMAT style to find comparisons but the ones I found all had GOLD subdials and bezels. Gee, I must have a true rep of a fake?? Still, it's drawn compliments from a doctor who spotted it on my wrist as I was having a required coronavirus COVIT-19 test. Wonder what he really thought after taking a closer look at it, heh! dave:

Hi, Gang!

Really, THE last Breitling in the Breitling drawer -- a favorite: well made, heavy, good timer, etc. dave:

Old El Primero, from the 90s I think. I've been told these were popular in Italy back in the day.

Sweet watch, what is it? The case looks Panerai-ish

Thanks You are correct - it's the rep California 3 Days PAM 448. A Radiomir that Panerai released in 2012 as a limited edition (750 pieces) tribute to the original California dial Radiomirs of the 1930's.

Hi, Group! Welcome to HUMPDAY!!

For today, this inexpensive watch I picked up M2M a while ago & hardly wore. Didn't think I was a HUBLOT BIG BANG sort of guy, but I fell in love with its design and color & the fact it has a VK quartz movement on the chrono helps. Its case back tags this as a TUIGA 1909 was interesting but after doing some preliminary research, discovered this model doesn't exist! SURPRISE! Not being knowledgeable about HUBLOTs, the only difference on the dial is the 24hour dial @ 3. This rep as a counter to 12; the gens do not. Still, thanks to the "99.9% Rule," I wear this with confidence outside. dave:

Uh, I had some extra "help" from PB, adding some extra shots I didn't originally apply.

HAPPY PAMSDAY, Gang!

Today, my old favorite Pam -- a 111-style but with sausage dial, rather than the sandwich dial. Again, when wearing PAMS, it's very easy to tell the time. dave:

Hi, Mates!

Just a continuation of the HUBLOT BIG BANG for Friday. dave:

Hi, Gang!

An unusual wrist wear today: this BR 123-style chronograph picked up M2M a while ago and rarely worn. I like BELL&ROSS watches but sometimes can't bring myself to wear them. I just dunno.... ... dave:
