I haven't owned a Breitling for awhile but I had the Original Colt Gen (38mm I think)....it was a solid well built watch and it always felt great on my wrist.
I think that for the money,......and errors aside, you've got a nice timepiece.
Great job on the research and presentation of your findings.
I wish I had the patience to review watches in this way.
Breitling fans should thank you for such a nice in-depth review.
regards,
Kurt.
