Thinking of getting this this week.... thoughts?

[LaBravo]

I am still very new to this world and am such a noob it is a joke, but I kind of really like this Breitling. From what I can tell and looking at real ones it seems like a good rep, but then again my eye for this stuff is zero 

 

it is from Trusty time... from what I have seen in these forums it is a trusted site. (am I wrong?)

any input would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers!

I think it's a nice watch. Not sure how close to the gen it is though with the sunken datewheel and I believe the diameter is a bit off

There was one for sale in the M2M section earlier today

M2M?

 

forgive me I am still trying to find my way around here.

Hi, the link You posted is from Andrew, fine to go with. Like the design of that Transocean but don´t know how good it is, the one people are buying is this one: http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_42&product_id=766 maybe You want to read about, it´s expensive. 2 of my very best overall watches  are the Breitling Superocean Steelfish and the Abyss 42mm, truly impressed by both and each was just above 200 usd and superlumed (no chronos, are divers).

The engravings on the side were the dealbreaker for me. I couldn't live with seeing the xxx/2000 engravings on the case every day.

 

But to each his own.

All those are nice, but I am just not a fan of the diver timer numbers around the face.... that is what is so appealing to me with this model Also the fact is it 45mm is a big draw as well. 

 

There are few Breitling models that I feel are 43-45mm that don't have the diver numbers around the face... AND don't look like 500000 number thew up on the face for you to tell time 800 different ways.  

I can live with or without the chrono... I don't ever use it that function... probably ever will.... but this model was one of the subtle looking ones that was big 

 

So Torn! 

 

and like japanic said having the engraving on the side is kind of meh. IMO

I had in quartz ,really nice . Save a few bucks go quartz no sunken date, being chrono unless you push it no one knows. Few guys have quartz all happy wears well looks stunning.

Here you go  save a lot if you like it enough maybe go for the money ,it will sell well.
