No i know but it has the smaller face, cant remember the size but it the next size down from the bigger faced watches 11cm instead of 13cm or whatever. Its really classy and nice. And since neither of those traits i have. I dont wear it. 
that and im not into dressing out anymore unless its a wedding

gorgeous; what is the movement on that?
I've been getting into watches alot more recently. I wanted a Breitling badly but didn't want to spend the cash on one yet, but I wanted something similiar to the Navitimer. After much debate and looking I scored this Tourneu 1950 Safari for a great price. I absolutely love it, just had the links adjusted and have been sporting it all day. What do you watch guys think?

Aren't Tourneaus re-manufactured originals? As in, a real Breitling that was restored and re-cased in a slightly different new case?
In any case, great watch, Phil! Congrats!

But watch-makes still manufacture Manual watches, can you elaborate WHY? What is the purpose when you have automatic? I am sure it's not due to durability of gears and needle.
