Hello Everyone!

I’ve been looking to buy a watch for my amazing father (55yo) for a while.

Today I finally convinced him to walk through the local watch gallery.

I guided him through the brands (that existed there) that I feel would make sense to him, and my wallet: Breitling, Tudor, Longines and Tag Heuer.

At first he wasn’t interested but then I pushed forward for him to try a Longines Conquest and Zulu Time but he said these watches were nice but not close to the finesse that the…

Offering a Breitling to my father

Hi folks,

The Breitling Colt is my grail watch. I’ve wanted one for a long time. My wife blessed me with this one. I’m so grateful! The watch is a great fit on my 6.75 in wrist at 41mm with the 50mm lug to lug. The photos of the watch don’t do it justice.

Thoughts suggestions?

Here is one from a Reddit member from a couple of years back:

SuperOcean Heritage Ceramic Bezels – paint flaking issues

Hi everybody,
I have this watch working fine for years. I stop wearing it for a while and sometimes later i noticed that it doe not get inputs properly when turning the crown or pushing it until the point that no command worked. Recently i changed battery too because i found it shut down and also with a new battery … no life. I suppose that it has to be switched on by pushing the crown inside or turning it forward maybe, but also in this case it does not get inputs as just explained and…
