Another possibility is they could have gotten into a problem with the design patent and can't make anymore. It's doubtful, but it's so similar to the Navitimer design that is Breitling's hallmark along with Sinn who purchased it a long time ago. It's probably more likely they just haven't had a new batch made.

Well... poop.

Good news! Air Blue / Deep Blue must have cut a deal with Jomashop because I found it up on there this morning!

It looks like they have pretty much all of the colors in stock including the alternate vertically-aligned face layout:

JS isn't offering the usual heavy discount that the AB site offers occasionally but even at $300 it's a great value for what you are getting IMO. I am wearing mine today and went to change the date and it hadn't lost a single second in the 4+ months I have owned it....still dead on with the atomic clock in Ft. Collins

Edit: Just another note I noticed...the vertical dial layout (second link) has a Seiko movement, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but if I had a choice of Swiss vs. Japanese I'm going to choose the Rhonda in the one I bought (top one) all day

oooohhhhh, definitely was in the, "buying it right away" at the $150-$200 price. Still tempted at $299 though, thanks for finding!

Found this - what think the group in terms of how similar that is to the MVMT?

Similar looks, much more well known brand. Love all my Citizens. The eco drive is a nice bonus because she'll never need to replace the battery


Re: Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste - Mike - 12-17-2016

I think the other one is much better looking though.

Welp. Let's hope she disagrees with that assessment, just bought it before.

Anyone down for some nerdy Star Wars themed watches:

I like some of the Kylo Ren designs but I don't like Kylo Ren as much as a character so I'm not gonna rock his watch. Kinda wish there was a better X-Wing/Y-Wing/A-Wing pilot watch design. Preferable with a Porkins engraving on the back.

hnnnnnnng.


They can be had for about $330 so it's solidly in the "Maybe One Day" bucket.

While I'm at it Zeppelin also makes a lovely quartz moonphase in roughly the same price range.

[Image: 7036-1-3.jpg]

I'd definitely like to have a moonphase in the collection and quartz is probably the way to go, because true automatic moonphases (not just sun & moons) are 1.) expensive as shit and 2.) a pain to set properly every time you wear it. A nice quartz one would be set & forget until it ran out of battery, and cost about of a 10% a decent, not-too-thick automatic one.

Not sure this Zeppelin is the one I'd choose, but it's handsome.

Why are there zero racing/auto watches in either of these threads?

Because those are horrible.

There are watchmakers, and then there is this guy (that creates a triple axis tourbillon). He does look high af though

I did see some nice looking "1970s Race Car Inspired" watches that a pretty subtle look and a racy looking 3-hole strap, but I can't remember what the brand was. :dunno:
