Answer:
Are you mocking my breitling an amouage picture!?!?!!? how dare you
I don't think a Winder is much of a hassle, I've not changed batteries in mine in 3 years, despite winding for at least most nights during the week...it is a little extra cost, but the watches aren't cheap in the first place, what's a little more?
Anyway, my Breitling current possesses mostly leather notes, due to the strap. In the summer when I switch to the bracelet... pure metallic, it's what Acier Aluminum would smell like if it were based entirely on the name.

Answer:
Contrary to popular opinion, I have been watching the thread.
If you guys want me to, I'll gladly separate out the watch posts and make them into their own thread on the off-topic board. Maybe I should do that just so people don't feel as restrained.
I wear a 24-hour face Fortis. Love the shots of Breitling here, but once you've had a 24-hour face you can't go back, so, sadly, the only Breitling beauty for me is the Cosmonaute. (I think they made a Bentley with a 24-hour face, but it has been a while since I went looking.) My Fortis is fantastic though.

Answer:
Quite right, quite right. I had my eye on a Cosmo early in my watch days, and what a striking face it has... but quickly realized the diameter was too small! The bentley is too rare, costing nearly $10k if you can find one, it was a LE of 1000 or so.

I've looked for hybrids that use GPS satellite or WWV time signals to synch but still offer an analog display (hands), but haven't found anything that's made well and looks good (been a few years since I last looked though).
I guess it's the engineer in me that can't stand to pay a lot for a timepiece if it can't be accurate. I did break down and buy a dress watch, but to me it's basically jewelry and I rarely wear it.
That's the atomic watch I have. Has worked flawlessly for 2 years now.

One bottle I saw in several pics has a red 'jewel' in the top.
What fragrance is that?
Thanks,
Serendeep I think it's Santal Noble by MPG. Cheap, horrible caps but the frag is very nice.

I have managed to be a good boy sofar and did not discuss watches on basenotes, don't tempt me...
I was wearing an original vintage 1950s Hamilton today. I have always preferred the look of classic vintage watches over modern designs. I've only recently invested in the Hamilton, but I may acquire another in the near future. I also need to repair my father's autowind Wittnauer and wear it more. What do you have in your collection?
