Breitling or Tudor

[Wildfire]

So I recently picked up a Breitling Superocean 44 as an everyday watch (second hand) which I do really like. However I have just seen the Tudor North Flag in Chisholm and am very taken with it.

The OH has said if I go for the Tudor the Breitling has to go, (she doesn’t like it).

What do people think?

I know they are totally different styles...

Actually the OH picked out the North Flag and likes it much better than the Super Ocean.

I did get a good deal on the Breitling and it is very nice. I don’t have a diver’s watch and it is a nice piece for every day.

However, I am quite taken with the North Flag, especially on the leather strap with the deployant clasp.

I have head they damage quite easily and the one we looked at actually had a couple of dings out of the bezel from clumsy handling by potential customers in the shop.

I think I was looking the PH watch group to help me with the man maths! However, I do have a wedding to pay for soon.

Jez, I was actually looking at a new North Flag, as the ones on Chrono 24 didn’t actually seem to be much cheaper than what I could get a new one for.

Chisholm Hunter has the North Flag going for around £2450.

I already have the Super Ocean, so it may be a case of selling it if I was to go for a North Flag.

They do seem to hold their value condition denependent. I’d make you an offer on yours if the OH wouldn’t kill me! She’d spot it a mile off!

The only thing I ever managed to get past her was a slip on pipe for the bike!

I may just do that...

I looked at the Black Bay Heritage and the Pelagos, but the hour hands just put me off. But that’s just personal.

Otherwise lovely watch!
