First post in here - one of my three😎

My 57 will be on holiday / vacation duties this weekend.

I’ve also got a Big Boy Avenger Blackbird Titanium & the Navitimer 806 Ltd Ed re-release from a few years back.

Nice watches😁

Thinking of pulling the trigger on this Chronomat B01 42.

I think I’m buying one of these. Torn between this and the new Superocean Heritage. Can anyone share some wrist shots of this model?

Can anyone share their experience with the Superocean 42?

I'm looking to get my second watch. I've thought about diversifying since my daily driver is a Chronomat GMT chronograph, but screw it, I love Breitling and the heart wants what the heart wants.

I really miss some sweet clicky bezel action. I've been eyeing this specific Superocean 42 for a couple years now, can anyone share their experience with it, if they have it? Any tips? Durability etc?

First Breitling

Navitimer Super 8 B20: first learned about this watch a few years ago and have been thinking about getting it ever since. Could not find it anywhere to try before buying, but then stumbled upon a great deal at C24 and got it.

Truly amazing watch! Dial changes its color from green to blue to black depending on how the light hits it - cannot get enough of it. Happy early 41st to me!

New Chronomat B31 40mm vs the older 40mm. Old design wins for me.

I was in Zurich for the day and found an AD who had the new B31 Chronomat in stock. This is a watch I was waiting to be released before I would decide on which reference to purchase. The new B31 is super slim,the micro adjust was amazing (2mm on each side of the butterfly), and the see-through caseback was nice..but the redesign of the case took away its integrated look for me. I also thought the dials seemed a little dull compared to the older reference. Thought this might be helpful to some of you in the same conundrum. I added photos of both so you be the judge.

First flight since buying — loving this thing!

Had this thing for a couple months now but was on my first flight since purchase. Obviously had to bring the Navitimer to the place it belongs! Absolutely love the look of this thing on my wrist.

Im on my 4th Breitling, somebody stop me!

I have been eyeing the Avenger 2 GMT for years now, but always decided to "get it later". Well, now is "later".

Resell price for SUPEROCEAN AUTOMATIC 44

Hi guys wondering how much I could sell this model for? I wore it three times and was wondering the price I could sell it for. Thanks!

Disclaimer not selling right now. Just wondering how much these go for after retail

Still the best date night watch

I like the integrated bracelet look of the newer models, but this watch is still beautiful to me

1916 company review of the new Chronomat dropped.

Oh wow. I mean this only reason to not get this watch is if you don’t like how it looks. Full package.

- in house chronograph certified by COSC
- lapsed hour dial
- bracelet now has screws and micro adjust
- date is hidden inside the sub-dial
- lug to lug that of a 39mm IB watch
- 1,5mm thinner than before
- an actual proper 120 notch diving bezel (wtf I love this)
- 200m water resistance
- actually looks like a great watch
- can choose a panda dial for extra sporty looks

I think that’s the one to get boys.

Questions and opinions welcome

Have the opportunity to get this Aerospace Avantage E7936210/B781 but has some questions about service cost and sizing.

I've been looking for a 40mm Aerospace from the era just before the advantage model and size increase for year but haven't had a great deal of success. This 42mm model fills the wrist but I do have some space at the top and bottom of my wrist that extends past the lugs, wrist is 167mm roughly depending on the day.

Yesterday I found this for around $2000 for just the watch. The dealer doesn't know much about the watch and suggested it could likely use a service. It has definitely been worn but looks a little large on my wrist but could deal with it.

So my questions are:
-would you hold out for to find a 40mm model?
-how does this watches condition look, in you opinion?
-how does this look in your opinions for sizing?
-how much has servicing cost for you?

Any advice is appreciated!

Ps. I looked up service cost on the website but understood those to be estimates.

Wearing one legend, reading about another…

Taking a break from the A320 to appreciate some other flight icons. Navitimer always on the wrist

This sub tipped me over into buying this piece last Christmas and I haven’t been able to wear anything else since
