Not a dive watch and not intended to be one or look like one. Waterproof with the classic Breguet look. smile


Lovely. That shows the guilloche on the dial to great effect. (My pic doesn't at all...)

Right, here goes, I'll wait for the slating to begin, not quite my choice, but I was offered this at a good price.
It's more of an investment than anything else, number 4 of 5, the history is quite interesting confirmed by Breitling.

It's wonderfully hideous!

Do the things like big crowns at the bottom right and top left do anything?

It's the Emergency designed for Aviators/Mariners, this is the transmitter, when you unscrew the crown it transmits a digital signal for the emergency services to pin point your location

How much does a fully iced out Breitling like this cost (roughly)?

Maybe it was Blair's weekend watch?

Treated myself to an impulse purchase on Saturday.

Something I have always had an eye out for and this happened to be in the window of a jewellers in Leeds (who originally supplied it new). Box and papers, and the rare stainless bracelet rather than the croc strap, which would have been a £1,000 option when new.

Very nice. Zenith are seriously underrated in my view.

The bracelet is a little too slack for me to wear this with any degree of regularity however with the weather as it is it's fitting pretty much spot-on.

Yetski.

One word. WOW. That’s very impressive but a smidge too bling for my weak wrist.

Love to hear the story/history!

My Silverstone. Need to get it serviced though as full wind not lasting overnight.

First proper watch purchase. Rolex Sub Date, managed to pick one up new from an AD with minimal wait. Loving it more than I thought I would.
