r/breitling

Hello!

Can anybody make sure that this Breitling is real before i buy it for mysefl, it would also help if somebody can kind of tell me the fair price for this piece😄

Went to my jeweler to get a few links taken out of my Longines Hydroconquest and noticed they had the Classic Avi Corsair in the case. Guess it had been sitting there a while so he was willing to work with me on it. Probably have too many blue faced chrono’s now but maybe not enough… happy to join the Breitling gang.

Confirming my pops SuperOcean is authentic. Not trying to pass off on anyone. Just want to be sure. Thanks!

Hi everyone
I bought this beautiful Breitling superocean heritage but unfortunately the date sometimes gets stuck and doesn’t snap to the next day. Though, sometimes it works and snaps on time( around 12 am)
The pic was taken on day 5 10:36 AM (date wheel is still inbetween day 4 and 5)

something worth noting is that i had a crown issue just 2 days after purchase which was fixed under warranty so I do not know if the issue was before after repair.

I did monitor the watch for over a month and it seems to snap well some days while others not( I would need to manually move the minutes hand and it would tick, or just adjust it through the date function)
Is that an easy fix??

From South Korea.

I got first automatic wristbands.

Glad to get this.

Always thought my first Breitling would be a Navitimer, but this was a deal I couldn't pass on.

I'll be the first to say, if I had to pay the $7500 retail price, or even if an AD gave me a 20% discount, I'd take a pass. It's kind of a weird one...what exactly is it? It feels incredibly overbuilt and chunky like it's a dive watch, but the dial and hands are styled more to be a pilot's watch? Well, whatever it is, for $3000 I'm very very very happy with it. I don't think there's another watch, new or used, at this price point I'd take over it.

Added the SOH 40 Green. I have been wanting this since its release. It’s absolutely beautiful. Took a while for me to decide between 40 vs 42 but ultimately went with the 40.

Pic 1: Wrist shot in poor lighting
Pic 2: I was comparing it to BB58 and Sub. It looks and feels smaller than the 58.
Pic 3: 42 blue bs 42 green - that blue is stunning
Pic 4: 42 at the boutique
Pic 5: 40 at the boutique

I have seen 2 of these watches on Chrono24 brand new for £4470 which is more than £2000 cheaper than retail price. Both sellers have very good reviews. Are these watches cheaper overseas or why is this?

Will my clasp swap over to an OEM rubber strap? Trying to avoid buying another clasp if possible.

Picked up this 1998 Navitimer Cosmonaute while on vacation in Munich. The 24hr dial is definitely an adjustment, but I’m in love with it!

When I’m not heading somewhere nice or have an event on, you’ll usually find me wearing my Breitling Colt Oceane with the black dial.

It’s become my everyday watch because I simply don’t have to think about it. It’s understated, comfortable and sporty enough to wear casually, while still feeling like a proper watch on the wrist.

I’ve got other watches I’ll reach for when I’m dressing up but there’s something I really like about having one watch that becomes your default. The one you throw on without thinking and end up wearing more than anything else.

The Colt doesn’t seem to get anywhere near the attention that some other Breitling models do either, which is part of the appeal for me.

What’s everyone else’s everyday watch?

Just picked up my newest addition. A Breitling Top Time 2002-33 with box and papers. I am stunned…

So I impulsively bought my first breitling today, I paid about 2200€ for it, I didn’t check online before buying it, it came with the box, papers and all links. It’s the 2019 model ref. A17392.
Was that a good deal?

Does anyone own the Top Time Corvette edition or any of the other models (Triumph, Mustang, Shelby, etc)? I would love to hear your experience with the watch, in particular the B01 movement. I found a new Corvette B01 version on the mesh bracelet at just shy of half price. I have had my eye on this watch for awhile, I do own a classic Corvette, there are a couple of watches (an IWC Mark XX and an Omega AT Terracotta) that I think I like a little better but for the value proposition, the Breitling is tough to pass up. Would love to hear from the Top Time owners. Thank you

I’d opt for the Milanese bracelet in particular but I’d love to put a leather strap on it eventually. Anyone have one made? Is it possible to switch things up? (Would it need to be made with curved ends, etc?)
