I've kinda got 2 new Breitlings.

Managed to pick up two clocks from an AD going out of business.





The Emergency is 10" across, and the black one is 2 foot across.
Been looking for something similar for a while. May I ask how much they cost?

I honestly can't remember, but a smaller one in black went on eBay the other week.
It's 20" across, where mine is closer to 3 foot.

Mine were from the UK, shipped to my in-laws and then bought out to Australia in their luggage. I've been waiting a few months for them to arrive.

Aerospace which gets worn for boarding, biking, anything knock-about and an old SuperOcean; my first ever good watch bought with my first ever pay packet in Zurich Duty Free smile


1940s Chronomat - I am probably going to send it away to be re-dialled at Breitling as I don't wear it. 70s 809 Cosmonaute, perfect in every way. My grail watch, always was... then I had it! 90s Spatiograph, seems quite rare, the complication never took off 'digital' display of minutes elapsed up to 10mins.

Had had many other Chronomats, Blackbirds and so on... I never really fall in love like with these ones.

Have to agree about the Cosmonaute smile



I'm not so keen on most of their modern watches, although I love the Transocean (not the Chrono, so much) and I've become a bit of a fan of the mid-sized Superocean Heritage recently, too.

Breitling's "bling" reputation is deserved in many cases these days, but they still have some classy watches in their range and I'd be happy to own a few more smile

I find I wear it less these days as it just takes too long to figure out the time, but I'll never part with it smile

As a company they should probably do a few more satin/matt finished cases and bracelets, they do shine a bit otherwise.

The new Transocean is a beauty yes

My Breitling Diver, its a SuperOcean 44 with the red accent, I bought it with the steel bracelet but then found a black strap with red, which is a Breitling strap made for a limited edition for the SuperOcean M2000 model. I managed to get it from Singapore for £150 and think it matches the watch really well.

The diver is just part of a small collection of diving memorabilia that Ive been collecting over a few years and i feel the diver complements the picture of the watch.

Following on from my previous note I've made some enquiries and been offered a brand new one with official Breitling 2 year warranty for £2800 which is 20% under retail.... I'm seriously considering it you bad bad people!

REALLY?????

You ought to buy that ASAP, that`s more like the price of a discounted REGULAR Seawolf, unusual to get such a discount on a limited watch of 1000!

Be SURE that they are not misunderstanding which model you are talking about though, there was a Code Yellow Seawolf Chrono (quartz) that wasn`t as limited or as popular!

I would have if it wasn't for another poster on here who put up a pic of his Rolex Milgauss so I ended up going out and buying a white face Milgauss instead! smile
If anyones interested though it was swiss watches direct online who seem to get good reviews that offered a new one to me for that price, never used them before but like I say, reading the reviews at the time they sounded trustworthy. Seemed like a good price to me. I know it was the right model because I gave them the specific reference number etc.
