dbutlerman Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hey Folks - My brother in law is interested in finding a watch. He is looking for something a Sporty watch in the 42mm size range with Roman Numerals. He likes Breitlings and I looked at the Breitling Onyx Chronograph, but I think it may be too big (~45mm). Anybody out there have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 The new Breitling Superocean Abyss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 That was one of my recommendations, but it has Arabic, not Roman numerals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 No rep of this one, but it's pretty sweet Breitling Spatiographe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 How about a Roger Dubuis Excalibur or Easy Diver? Cartier was my first thought, but the only Must 21 reps I can find are the $108 economy models ($88 with the special code!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 No rep of this one, but it's pretty sweet Breitling Spatiographe Not Bad...but looking for a rep..well technically, his wife is looking for a rep...he wants a gen!

I'll send him a pic of the Excalibur, might be a little big...what do you mean by Must 21? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these: 38mm, pricey for a quartz chronograph, but it's a Cartier and it's got big Roman numerals on the bezel. I imagine he wouldn't consider the Roadster a sporty watch.

Noel Fleischer Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Cartier is a good choice, most have Roman numerals- Ballon, Santos, Roadster, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindu4 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Look up a Breitling Chronomat B01 black dial with roman numerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 + 2 for the Breit B01, black dial with roman hour markers, first watch that came to my mind. 42mm case, very sexy sport watch. This is the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindu4 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) + 2 for the Breit B01, black dial with roman hour markers, first watch that came to my mind. 42mm case, very sexy sport watch. This is the one. 44.5mm actually. Big but not annoyingly big. Honestly the best thing to do to find a model you like is to go to an authorized Breitling seller and tell them you are shopping for watches for your birthday and want to give your wife ideas for her to come back and buy. Mine came with me and was a great actress. Don't go in dressing like a clown either. That's what I did and they talked me into a Super Avenger (fits me well). Just make sure you know your models and don't pick something that there's no rep of. Edited July 12, 2011 by dustindu4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 There are plenty of Patek chronograph reps in the 40-42mm~ range available from our collectors, all of which have roman numerals. I hesitate to even post a picture as there are dozens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yeah the B01 is what I already recommended. He likes it? But we need to go down and have him try something that big on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindu4 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's worth it to try some gen watches on first if they are close by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Quick question...since the Breitling Chronomat B01 has second at 9 does it have any issues as it is not the standard 7750 configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindu4 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Super avenger is the same configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
