Considering a new Breitling-any thoughts/opinions please?

[Deano84]

Hello All.

I have seen a Breitling Chronomat Evolution with a diamond Bezel in my local Breitling dealer, I really like it and I fancy a new watch but i'm not sure whether it could look a bit tacky and/or look like a product from Turkey.

Any thoughts from the good people of PH would be appreciated.

Cheers.
Dean

Forget the price, what do you think about the watch?

[RichB]

If you're serious I think it's gross.

I am serious yes haha. Oh dear! Not the reaction I had hoped for.

Seriously Dean, have a word with yourself. Diamonds on a watch? Okay if you want to look like Jermain DeFoe (a blinged up black footballer) but not for real...

Haha, the funny thing is, a couple of my mates made comments similar to yours "Your not a black rapper you ****" and "thats the worst thing i've ever seen" were the pick of the bunch.

I had a Navitimer world before this, which was a stunning watch and this is the other end of the spectrum, but for some reason it tickled my fancy but I don't want to look like a tw@t wearing it.

Cheers for the feedback Rich!

Never has the expression "money doesn't buy you taste" been more true.

HAHA! I have great taste in most things- especially cars, this watch is somewhat different!

I am on waiting list for a Rolex Daytona Cosmograph with a white face- a absolutely legendary watch which doesn't require a post of this nature, as it's simply awesome.

Back on subject, the watch looks so much better in the flesh (honestly).

This sort of reaction is what I kind of expected- hence my original post.

Thank god I didn't buy it today and post after- I was picking up another watch and there is was glistening in the display cabinet. haha.

Why not just save a little more (ok a lot more,) and buy this?

Glad you took my comment in the light hearted manner it was intended. Your taste in cars is exceptional, just work on the watches!!
