New watch for me.

Greenlizard0 · 11 Jul 2008 at 00:19

It doesn't do it for me.

Watches tell the time and date, those that are expensive anyway. I just can't justify spending that much on a glorified machine that way. I'm a slight audiophile and can justify spending several hundred on e.g. headphones. Not everybody's cup of tea but it's something with a difference that I can appreciate if that makes anysense.

If you like it - that's what counts the most, so enjoy fella

Thanks mate

I can understand the audiophile side of things, i was blown away when i changed my AV gear even though technically my old stuff did the same job.

Breitlings are considered (to some) to be more timepieces than just watches.

I love it anyhow

Im in the construction/plant industry

I just try to buy sensibly, it was soooo hard to resist the Crosswind though, i (personally) think that looks amazing.

Gone from an Omega Seamaster to this watch and im really happy.

Bit too chunky for my taste I'm afraid.

Funny I just picked up a new breitling also

mightynimrod · 11 Jul 2008 at 00:46

Wow, that's blinged up to buggery

I enjoy being ostentatious in order to make up for my small penis.

LMFAO

To the OP - lovely watch.

To the anti-watch crowd......yawn.

Foyman · 11 Jul 2008 at 04:55

WHat?

Think you should have kept hold of the Omega.

Mr^B · 11 Jul 2008 at 08:28

Omegas are common as muck these days though. Everyone has one.

I wouldn't have swapped an Omega for that though.

HTH!

gjrc · 11 Jul 2008 at 09:02

its a bit too white for me.

not a big breitling fan though.

The Dread Pirate · 11 Jul 2008 at 09:34

I'd have also stuck with the Omega that just looks tacky

Fixed that for you.

I quite like it but not enough to buy it. It's hard to tell how a watch really looks unless it's on your wrist though so it maybe looks a lot better IRL.

Welcome to the world of Breitlings bud.

I had to have mine serviced under warranty as it lost a couple of minutes every week.
The CS was impeccable, they even sent it back in a nice velvet watch box.
It nows keeps time as it should.

I honestly don't like it...certainly doesn't look like it's worth £2k.

Worth whatever someone will pay for it, but you're right; it looks awful.
