Let's see your Breitling.

[phumy]

Just thought i would show you my little trio of Breitlings, bought the Navitimer in 2005, the SuperOcean 46 in 2010 and the SuperOcean 44 in 2011. I bought them all with SS bracelets but have also bought leather straps for the 44 and the Navitimer, i have a rubber diver strap for the 46. That gives me a variation on different occasions for wearing them, they have been excellent in their use and have had no problems with them whatsoever.





In the box



With the others


I bought a leather NATO before Christmas but not sure which one to put it on as its a bit on the thin side.

Very nice collection

Beautiful collection!

Just to keep this thread alive and let the Breitling faithful know I just ordered 2 straps from panatime.com (I'll post pics when they arrive). I went for a cognac red calf leather and a silver Kevlar (carbon weave) both deployant straps. Waiting to see them as I'm hoping quality is as expected and I think I'm gonna also go for the green ostrich skin one too.

On another note, I popped into the bond street boutique and once again help and service was second to none. Scott is a top bloke.

Hello gang my straps for BB Motors from Panatime arrived (according to USPS tracking) they are still in USA! Lol

On 1st impressions I am happy, the leather is supple yet the back to them is rigid so will take time and wear to soften, see pics



The silver is Kevlar, waterproof and has carbon fibre effect. The red (cognac) is calf leather. Apparently it's cognac colour. First looked brown to me so have taken pic against something red, your thoughts please



All in all I'm happy at around £50ish for the pair

It`s a Super Avenger Military, it`s a limited run of 500 9but Breitling do like to change TINY details of "limited" watches and release a load more, which is annoying!

Hmmm, yep and something will have to go, I`m thinking the Seawolf Code Yellow will have to go! (one of a 1000)

It`s the first time I`ve owned a 24hr dial so as I look at it now it looks like it`s saying 7:20 or (19:29) but it`s actually saying 14:20!

Looks like 11.20 to me.

That would confuse the S**t out of me

[chris56]

I have an Oris Blue Eagles which also has a 24 hour dial - so I do have some experience in reading these dials. I will admit that they are confusing.

I will regret saying this but I`m excited about being confused! :-)
