I have the Aerospace Avantage (2006 model) on the leather strap. I don't have any personal photos of it but here's a stock one:


That's the strap I want on my Seawolf smile

[quote=HarrySmash]Here's my couple of Chronomats and a Colt II






I nearly bought one of these when I bought my avenger, nice watch. Wish I had the money for both.

What's the market like at the moment for Breitlings?
I'm wondering if it's worthwhile buying a second one to sell on back in the UK?
It would mean I'd be making the most of the 20% off, plus I'm sure if I was buying two they could take a bit more off....

Anyone got any requests?
I'll take a photo of their collection in the window.
For anyone interested, it's

GNM Jewelleries
Nissi beach avenue
Ayia napa

I've checked on Breitlings retailers website and it's on there.
It is I checked as first thought was dodgy!

Nah, nothing dodgy (although it could seem that way LOL), just thought it'd be worth helping fellow PH'ers get a good deal on an expensive luxury.

I tried the Superocean Heritage today and the Navitimer Montbrillant... Both stunning pieces!

I need to make up my mind before I come home (next Wednesday) because I'm going to take advantage of discount.

The Superocean Heritage in brown with silver bracelet is cracking!!! But I've always wanted the Navitimer....

I'll sleep on it! :-)
The navitimer is where my money would go, I personally think the Super ocean Heritage is a bit dull (just my opinion)

Need to replace the battery! Again!

Havent worn it in a while , but love it.

That's why I sold mine! I waited 10 years to buy an Aerospace. After 3 happy years together it needed a new battery and after 6 years it needed a battery and a service and I just couldn't afford that sort of money! So it had to go frown

Well, I went back to the shop and after a long process of trying each one on a million times, I ended up buying...

Navitimer World. Well chuffed with it. The Datora is beautiful but I kept going back to the World because I've wanted one for so long.

Will get photos up when I get home.
Good choice (I've had my eye on one for a while), look forward to the pics
Yes lovely watch as above stick a pic up when you get a chance smile

Thanks.. The service cost £374, including a new crystal..

This was the first service, since purchasing the watch over 10 years ago. I have had the battery replaced by an AD 4 times during this period. The alarm on the watch failed a few years ago and there were a lot of marks on the bracelet and crystal as its my daily wear and over the years I had became less precious about it. The final straw was the crown failing.

The crown replacement is part of the service and a 'best possible refurb'. Given the state of the watch when it went in to how it looks and feels now it was worth very penny.. I was thinking of trading it on, now I think it will stay for a while longer and be joined by Seiko, to share the daily wear, for other than best, and an Omega Sea/Speed Master, at some point, as I really want a Chrono or two in the repository..

Mark

Looks great and worth the money. I nearly bought a B1 seven years ago and do miss the digital on my aerospace, I will own one again one day smile

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.
Love the Emergency clock, would look great in my kitchen wink

Clocks look great and so does the avenger chrono smile

I have just been told that the breitling rubber strap with breitling written on will be available to buy again next year. I love this strap.

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.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121033238402?ru=http%3A...

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.
I got a clock for Christmas..



Not a breitling but does begin with B and classic design smile
