I remember as a kid walking thru San Francisco with my grandmother seeing Breitling watches thru a store glass. I was in awe. For one, I loved aviation and it was the quintessential representation of it with its ads. I told myself in my teenage years after seeing them in magazines that I would own one one day. This considered the world's first 'smartwatch'. Had a rep scower all their inventory worldwide for this specific Navitimer model. Told him I'd fly anywhere in the world if they can find me one still new. Thankfully only had to fly to the Manhattan Boutique. My next timepiece will be Omegas Dark Side of the Moon. Will have it by next summer, as long as the market doesn't collapse.

Yeah I been a fan of Navitimers since I learned that was Miles Davis watch for decades. It’s definitely an underrated classic and has a unique look.

Just got my first digital watch. I normally avoid them, cause you can just wear an Apple Watch. I brought the “Mamdani” Casio A1000 since I can’t front it’s looks like the type of watch I would wear and he’s been giving it a lot of exposure. The only problem was it’s sold out in the US. Took some research but I found a way to buy the movement and band new in Europe separately and I’ll have to combine them myself when they get delivered.

If this works out well I think I’ll get one of those Seiko’s I mentioned.

You going for the new Dark Side of the Moon? That new Grey side looks crazy good too. I'm actually a big fan of the SuperOcean, such a clean look.
