WATCH POP

I'm mostly and rolex / omega guy. Until recently Breitling was a brand I didn't 'get'. Their watch dials were too busy and their cases too bulky. Until I tried this one on and I must say the quality of the case, bracelet, crown, the dial texture, the incredible A/R coating (it's like the crystal isn't there) and the incredible dial texture are all impressing me. Also the clasp allows for microadjustments. It shines - this one has much more bling to it than I'm used to, but I amazed at the detail vs. my omegas.

And yes, it's true I'm in the honeymoon phase with this watch. To Laugh Often and Much... Rolex - Sub date, Sub non-date, Sub Anniv. LV, Sea Dweller, Exp.2 white dial, GMT 2 pepsi, Air King grey, Exp. 1 Omega - SMP Bond Quartz and Auto, SMP black dial quartz and auto - all bond bracelets Breitling - Colt Quartz 2 black dial, Colt Auto 2, white dial IWC - Aquatimer titanium, older version Marathon - TSAR, GSAR - tritium tubes Ball - Hydrocarbon Classic 2 black dial, Night Train black dial on rubber Seiko- Orange and Black Monsters Tiffany - 1 gold 1 steel dress watch Ebel - Discovery black dial
that is the first Breitling that has caught my eye.

I may have to check that one out.

John "Why is it that every time I think I know the answers, someone goes and changes the questions?"------------------------------------------- This one is subtle enough..normally Breitlings are like Tags....too much superficial bling...the kind that attracts teenagers, pimps, drug dealers, and personal injury lawyers......but this one is quite nice... Rolex Daytona, TT, white face, 2006. D series. Omega Speedmaster Pro, SS Bracelet, Hesalite; Omega SS Seamster Planet Ocean 45.5mm Orange bezel. I had a Colt Automatic for less than a week. The store I bought it at had a 90 day exchange policy, but it only took me about 4 days to realize that I didn't like it. It just seemed too small for a dive/sport watch. It looked tiny on my wrist, and I only have a 6 1/2 inch wrist. I also didn't really like the look of the bracelet or how difficult it was to undo the clasp. So, maybe some may like Colts, but I personally don't but that's not what counts. It's nice to be important; but, it's also important to be nice! I manage a sales division for a cardiac surgical company so it is not just a watch for pimps....lol

Here is my CSO


USMA most breitlings use a similiar bezel, as far as I know all breitling have time elapse bezels so I kind of think it's part of their 'thing' and they seem to do it well. A lot of people don't like the riders at 12 - 3 - 6 -9 , but they sure make it easy to turn the bezel, even with gloves on. To Laugh Often and Much... Rolex - Sub date, Sub non-date, Sub Anniv. LV, Sea Dweller, Exp.2 white dial, GMT 2 pepsi, Air King grey, Exp. 1 Omega - SMP Bond Quartz and Auto, SMP black dial quartz and auto - all bond bracelets Breitling - Colt Quartz 2 black dial, Colt Auto 2, white dial IWC - Aquatimer titanium, older version Marathon - TSAR, GSAR - tritium tubes Ball - Hydrocarbon Classic 2 black dial, Night Train black dial on rubber Seiko- Orange and Black Monsters Tiffany - 1 gold 1 steel dress watch Ebel - Discovery black dial however, I do not like the prominent markers between the hour markers; I would prefer them only on the sloped portion of the dial ring. I have the same beef with the newer SO models. hand or the additional markers between the hour markers. Not something I would buy or wear.
