Would the new bezel fit the current SS model? hmmm it does look larger than the current bezel, wider maybe?

No question is really stupid, Amanda. In fact that's a very acceptable question....and the answer, in all probability, is no.

Cheers - JJ

Yeh that one... then you go post a magnificent photo like that and I start thinking its not too bad.... actually I just realised why I dont like it. It's called 'self protection' cant fall in love with something TOTALLY financially wrong for me can I???? It's simple really...

Daytonas... pffffffft damn ugly things they are! HA JOKING, they are stunning....

Well, Amanda, in reality that watch pictured above would be too big for you. By the same token, the normal GMT-II is probably slimmer and lighter...more lady-like for a fine lady like you!!

JJ Irani · 23 September 2006, 03:28 PM

And, oh, by the way....the TWINLOCK crown which comes with the GMT-II should, in reality, be called the TRIPLOCK crown 'cause it has 3 gaskets:

- one insde the crown
- none on the outer stem
- two on the inner stem of the crown

Yeh that was my thoughts too... the thicker lugs and thicker case profile would make it look like a clock on my arm! I think the 1675 is thinner again from what I read around here.

I tried on a Tudor Chrono last week, a used one and it seemed really big too, very large case - I liked the watch but couldnt wear it, I think it would be uncomfortable too.

I'd never get away with a Pano...

With your stunning looks, you'd get away with anything.....but that's another story!!

This might be straying from the path a bit, but...ever tried a Navitimer?
I've seen a couple of ladies wearing an Old Navitimer, black face & white subdials with a black leather strap. Looked very good

JJ Irani · 23 September 2006, 08:34 PM

Go on, say it....who'd look at a Navitimer on the wrist of a beautiful lady? On the other hand, if it were a Rolex....

amanda · 23 September 2006, 08:37 PM

Whats a Navitimer?

Edit: Oh Breitling right?

yEH yikes. I fear the navitimer would give me a headache and probably make me run my car off the road everytime I looked at it - thats one mightly busy dial! I did find a pic of an older model yesterday that was far simpler, just had the 3 white subdials... very nice Breitling that was. I bet I managed to pick out the most expensive and desirable Navitimer when I liked that one.

I seem to have this habit of falling for the most expensive things....
