Just back from a service and battery replacement.

Love it

Bet that the battery and service wasn't cheap!

I'd love another from the professional range but the running cost scares me, that's why I traded the Aerospace

Yes new watch battery, new transmitter battery, new hands, glass face had slight mark so was replaced
all polished nice new cloth and breitling travel case £580.00. Still all be good now for at least 2 years.

Better than my Breitling Flying B last service was over a £1000...................

WOW and that's why I don't own one!

It's a real pity as the I love the whole Professional range!

Must say when they do come back from having a service at Breitling they do look nicer when they come back.

Lovely timepiece never seen a square in the Bentley range.. I must have tunnel vision. The complete overhaul made a 3yr old watch look brand new when it came back. They made a few admin errors with mine and the goodwill gestures were fantastic.

Enjoy that mate looks great.

My COLT GMT has that bracelet and I found after maybe 7 years the links had a lot of slogger and I bought a second bracelet - at an extortionate price IIRC - something like £300

I paid £770!

Yeah, and it looks every penny!

Console yourself with this, that's not much more than a Breitling black steel push button clasp alone, without rubber strap! And the bracelet for a Submariner is £1,300!!!!

£700 is a lot of money but you did get what you paid for in a positive way!

I was quoted £820 by the service centre so mine was a bargain

Love the blue dial

Arrived this morning and looks great

I REALLY REALLY like that bracelet, it`s "the one"

I had a titanium Chrono Avenger with a UTC that had the other type, the Pro 1, MUCH prefer the Pro 2 with the flat links!

Thanks Don I love it

I hope you're still looking after that pelagos for me

That isn't that bad. A bespoke bracelet from a budget-friendly utility brand like Sinn will set you back just as much, the the quality of the Breitling bracelet is better than just about any other brand.

[neilbauer]

I'm really happy with it

[neilbauer]

Wouldn't mind a trip here one year.

[Nomal]

Got this on today ,

[steve1]

I actually thought I had posted on here already, but I haven't, doh!
Anyway, here's my royal marine edition
Excuse the bits of cellophane that you can see, but it's never been worn apart from this pic, and still has all the protective film on it.

I also have a navi world sat in the safe, a nice 50th birthday present from the people that know what I like, bless them.

[Uncle John]

Just reposting my Super Ocean on Milanese from a while ago.



NB, looks fantastic on the new bracelet. Well worth it.

Loving all three watches on this page

Thanks John, waited years for it.

[Octoposse]

My 'everyday ' watch (except for very formal, or hazardous, days).

Had it about 10 years and love it. Face looks black in photo but is actually very dark graphite gray. Thinking of replacing strap with something brighter - prob not Breitling due to cost, croc or mock croc green or tan.

Purchased whilst working overseas - couldn't justify gold at the time but wish I had now!
