I seem to have a problem buying Avengers, I quite fancy a Ti Seawolf next! (then that`s IT)

That's a great collection you have there, I'm very jealous thumbup
Thanks, to most people they are extremely "samey" but I like them!
They are lovely chunky watches smile

I`m sure you would agree that a Ti Seawolf would complete the picture! :-)
Your collection wouldn't be complete without one wink

Got my watch back from Breitling and it looks great.



I drove to Tunbridge Wells to pick it up and was very impressed with the service centre. It's a bit like the Breitling Boutique I went to in NY and a bit James Bond film set! Anyway I took a few pics.

The window is to the right of the reception desk, I could have stood there all day!!

Picked this one up recently, got it for an amazing price, less than half RRP, limited edition too, you'll have to excuse the iPhone pic though!

I bet you'd miss that Ti Seawolf!

The ONLY watches that get me going now are the Ti Seawolf and the Tudor Pelagos!
The Pelagos is nice but the deepsea is nicer.

This came out of hibernation yesterday!
Looks good, wanted that strap for mine but with the deployment clasp was more than I wanted to pay.

Does the brushed version match the titanium well?
It's slightly lighter in colour but I think it looks good.

Thanks, they are certainly a Marmite watch but that does mean that you don't see too many of them around.
I nearly bought the digital B2 but decided on the Aerospace, but after 6 years and needing it's third battery I decided that I had to change it as 2 years on wrist and 8 weeks at Breitling wasn't what I had in mind when I bought it so it's automatic all the way now.

Thanks, it`s a bit like having a new watch at the moment, I`m enjoying the colour more than I thought I would and it`s moved it away from looking TOO much like the Skyland!
Is it Breitling strap?

Hi Neil

That`s actually a diver pro 3, bought it from a very empty new Bond St Breitling shop!
I was told they were re-releasing the pro 1 but not that it was going to be a NEW version! Now Don how much and can you please post some more pics smile

I think I heard that the Pro 1 was returning too but then there would be 3!


This Diver Pro 3 starts with raised lettering near the case which then becomes less raised until it becomes slightly indented as it ends at the clasp!



I think the "rubbers" were something like £60 but that's without any clasp / buckle!
And


The deployment clasp is mucho dinero. I see via the wonders of Google that you can get it with a tang buckle and I WANT as I already have the buckle smile. Is the strap a harder rubber as the pro 2 is very soft and marks very easily.
