b16a2 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Well after ordering the Breitling on Friday, it turned up this morning. Great service by the dealer, and excellent communication. I have posted a rough history of my search for this watch, but I'l give a brief outline. About three years ago I started becoming interested in watches, Breitling in particular. I took a shining to the Aerospace, mainly due to its simplistic design, and functionality. I then found out that Breitling every so often released special editions, one of which was the Harrier Edition. I knew I had to buy it. I sourced one about a year ago, but unfortunately missed out on it. A whole year later, I managed to get my hands on one. (Please excuse my poor pictures the camera isn't all that good, but it gives a rough idea) First up, the box itself, the 'professional series' boxset..... AR shot. The Breitling AR is very heavy. Turns a vey deep blue/purple in some lights, and the crystal disappears in low light situations. A rather blurred shot of the band and the watch case. The aerospace was manufactured with performance in mind. It is constructed from Titanium, and is incredibly light! A wrist shot with my pride and joy in the background A wrist shot with a BCE Here are a few pics provided by the dealer... Overall I am very impressed. I am glad I have finally got my holy grail watch. The quality of the watch itself is amazing. The bracelet is very good (slightly flimsy due to being so light). The clasp closes really nicely, and the bezel rotates much differently from the reps I have. Thanks for reading B16a2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rower Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Great watch! Thank you for sharing. I have bought and sold two of them and would really love to have another. It is a very lightweight slim powerhouse. All the extra funtions are great. No wonder pilots love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 This watch is cool. But it's a quartz... not for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R7000 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Pretty, but is it a rep or gen? Vendor? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 An old post... But still a great watch! I guess b16a2 actually has sold this one now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarinelli Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The owner of my prior company owns that watch (obviously genuine, he's a multi-millionaire); I always admired it. Can you tell me where I can find it (rep)? I don't care that it is quartz, I love the analog / digital scheme. It's tastefully done. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You won't find a decent rep of this watch. That's a gen. If you like the Aerospace I would recommend buying it, you can pick them up for reasonable prices now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
