slask111 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Seems to be a big watch on the wrist (45mm). I havent seen it before. Breit Aerospace rep anyone? What you think? It retails for 658$ or just about.
Ronin Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Great watches. I actually like the SA you posted better than the Breitling Emergency / Aero. (I can't get passed the NASCAR fonts on some of the Breitlings ) A good quality watch. I occasionally rock my grab-n-go Vintage Chrono...
Noel Fleischer Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 I don't like analog/digital watches, cheaper than the Breitling though

Agreed, same quartz digital/analogue movement but with very different looks, personally this is much better lookng than the Aerospace
StormTooper4 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 I think its the same as the Bell and Ross that's out. I think that one has had a price reduction to around $250 from an original $500+ so they can copy the movement will have to see what else they can come up with.

I don't think it's a rep movement, I believe the gen quartz movement isn't all that expensive, but could be wrong.

Just like the old Navitimers were Valjoux 7753's, with a few in-house mods. It kills me when I see cool watch like some of the Chopard's at my AD selling for $7000 with a run of the mill or COSC 7750.

The expense is in the workmanship of the case, dial, hands and and bracelet, not that it justifies the price. Gen Breitling bracelets are works of art, and so are their dials (incidentally, so are the reps!), but not sure about Chopard's redeeming features. They are pretty but don't seem to justify the prices as well as some of the other Marques.
PeteM Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Really dont like the mix personally Like batting for both sides...

slask111 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 I dont know, i cinda like them. A rep Aerospace would sell like cupcakes is my guess. There is a Tissot that is just awsome on the wrist. A buddy of mine got one of theese and its just wonderful. Dont be scared of the picture, you should se this on a wrist (sry couldnt find a picture).
subbiesrock Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 These T-Touches are fantastic! I've had a bit of a play with one, they're brilliant tool watches.
slask111 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 I agree, will be my next mountain watch or whatever. At 44.5 mm/18mm its a titanium beast
woof* Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I thought it was a fun movie...but I don't really care for the watch..the character he was playing wearing the watch was a school teacher? Makes sense for that watch I guess...he probably wouldn't be wearing a Sea Dweller..
