Hi Niel hows things mate, any more Breitling Adventures? Just had 1st child 10 days ago so mine may be fewer and further between but on the plus side I managed to find a Red 24mm Strap for my BforB Motors T. Its Genuine Shark Skin so loving the look and its going to compliment the TVRs interior beautifully (Now its just to have the baby seat retrimmed to match... lol)

Congratulations on your new arrival and well done with the baby too wink I visited the Breitling boutique a couple of weeks ago (2nd time) and took a few pics..

Love the emergency but think the Bentley is a bit of a Marmite watch.

Done it thanks to Ian at my GoldSmiths in Milton Keynes. Speed bracelet fitted and best strap ever, love the brushed and polished effect. Now just to get Breitling to issue my new insurance certificate.

Very nice smile

I have to admit I have no idea how to tell the time on a 24hr dial confused

Not sure yet if this will replace the Superocean as a daily.

That is lovely but I'm sure they could have squeezed a few more numbers in there wink

What's the technique for telling how many minutes past the hour it is with a quick glance after someone asks you?
The minutes hand is just the same a normal 12 hr watch. It can take a little time to get used to reading the hours on the 24hr dial, but once it clicks it is very easy.
So is the time in the picture 16:11?

Apologies for hijacking this thread. I'm off to look at in the flesh (with a view to buying) an Avenger II Seawolf tomorrow.

Any current/ previous owners able to offer any info on what this watch is like to wear regularly?
I wear my Ti Seawolf daily and it is a big watch but love it. They are steel now a bit heavier.

Have owned my latest purchase for 2 weeks now and still love it. Think that the yellow, silver and brushed steel are a great combination and the size isn't (too) prohibitive as a daily wearer.



Very nice, quite fancy a yellow B

I also have chrono superocean with blue dial from 2007.
Love the UTC looks great on the Aerospace. I miss my Aerospace but do prefer an automatic to Quartz now.

Thinking of getting a Breitling but what a choice of models. Which is the classic Breitling model and do they hold their value?
I think the classic Breitling is a Navitimer, not sure on second hand values though.

Not had leather on mine, I've got a diver pro 3 on it and that seems to wear well. There are a lot of secondhand leather Breitling straps on eBay and some do appear quite shabby.
