          Hello all, I was wondering if anybody could provide me with some details on this watch.  I recently found it going through some of my late father's things and had the battery replaced.  I haven't been able to find anything through google, so hopefully someone here knows a little bit about it.  I don't know the value but I do not think it to be worth very much.

            I have decided it's time to simplify my life.  I will be selling all my current "good" watches and using the funds to buy just one watch I can wear all the time.  So the following will be being sold:

            2 x Breitling Chronomats - both stainless steel
            1 x Patek Philippe vintage (1954) gold manual wind calatrava
            1 x JLC gold, time/date/day/month/moonphase with JLC deployant clasp

            If you have a serious interest in any of these, PM me.

              What are you thinking of getting as your everyday watch, Giles?

                It will be my only watch (apart from a couple of Seikos).

                Something that I can treat like shit and just know it will keep on going, so this….

                      I'll make way more than the cost of the 50 fathoms selling the 4 watches that I have.  The Patek and The JLC I picked up very well about 10 years ago, will have made a lot on both of those.  I'll lose on the Breitlings, but on balance I will be up….

                        it looks good on the metal bracelet too, Giles.

                            Have you checked the AP royal oak divers lineups?

                              I dislike Pams, everyone wears them.

                              Do't like the Royal Oak design.  I know it is a true classic,, but it does nothing for me.

                                  Yes, I agree.

                                  But mostly, I agree with the choice of the Blancpain.  The Fifty Fathoms is a brilliant watch with a wonderful history.  I'm sure you'll enjoy it…

                                    Stunning BP Mr G, a true classic.

                                    Funny thing about the "everyone wears them"-saying, I guess it's very dependant on the country/area where you happen to work/live. Over here hardly anyone has nice watches, but the most common ones are definitely Omega Bond Seamasters and Speedmasters with the odd Tag Heuer Carrera here and there. Very few Breitlings or Pams spotted in the wild and from what I gather they're very common in the UK for example. In Italy I've spotted loads and loads of Rolexes and Panerais while on vacation…

                                    AIAN HA-TO!

                                        Yes, I did spot shed loads of them at the NYC gathering.  Couple of Rolexes, Omegas and Tags, too.  No Blancpains, though.:)

                                            what seikos do you have G-San? Also would be nice to know your opinion on Grand seikos.
