BilboBaggins Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 I have finally been able to collect my 21st Birthday present...it was worth the wait! Hope you enjoy these pics as much as I do...and please dont slate them...its my first attempt at watch photos!! Cheers, Jon
Dutchy Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) 1st. AWESOME WATCH. Very nice sporty and classic breitling. One of the best out there, along with the navitimer and the chronomat/crosswind in my opinion. Looks very sturdy and heavy as a real Breit should be! 2nd. VERY GOOD PHOTOGRAPHIC SKILLS. It may take a while to adjust some settings but believe me, these pics are great already!!! AND 3RD. HAPPPPPPPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAY!!! All in all, VERY COOL!! Edited May 1, 2006 by Dutchy
BilboBaggins Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Posted May 1, 2006 Thanks very much Dutchy I spent a long time researching and choosing the watch...I knew this was going to be my only gen for a few years, so i wanted a watch that i liked, that suited me, and that looked good Also my wrists are pretty small, but i think it looks ok (whereas a Navitimer would perhaps look like a clock on my arm!). Also, im very flattered by your comments on my photographic skills...I have trawled the forum looking at angles that work, and tried to sort the lighting. I ended up with white printer paper everywhere, a borrowed tripod, and a lamp with a pillow-case on! Seemed to work ok...but i really enjoyed it and will be attempting more photos. Thanks again, Jon
Rolexman Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Very nice!! I have a gen '06 Steelfish which is pretty simular to yours! Too bad you don't have the new professional II bracelet! Wear it well my friend! Edited May 1, 2006 by Rolexman
BilboBaggins Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Posted May 1, 2006 Very nice!! I have a gen '06 Steelfish which is pretty simular to yours! Too bad you don't have the new professional II bracelet! Wear it well my friend! Yeh i was tempted by the Steelfish and the original Superocean, but they were too thick for my arm. I really like this bracelet...dont think iv seen the Pro II though. Thanks for the comments, Jon
By-Tor Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 Breitling rivals Omega and Rolex in quality with all their models, even GMT. I especially like the dial and brushed/polished bracelet and prefer this one over the titanium models. What a beautiful watch, congrats!

I especially like the dial and brushed/polished bracelet and prefer this one over the titanium models. What a beautiful watch, congrats! Thanks By-Tor, I completely agree...I love the dial on this watch...had to choose between Black and Blue, and eventually went for blue because I believe it suits me more (probably better for a younger person...and more of a 'sporty' look to the watch). Also the brushed part of the bracelet means the watch is not so 'bling' as some Breitlings can be...which i much prefer. Cheers, Jon
Rolexman Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) The new Professional II braclelet... an absolute beauty on the Colt I think you got old stock if you bought the watch in '06 Edited May 3, 2006 by Rolexman
BilboBaggins Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Posted May 6, 2006 The new Professional II braclelet... an absolute beauty on the Colt What i like with my Colt is the brushed middle links. I agree the Pro II looks nice...but i am v.happy with mine Jon
yellomen Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Nice watch! This would be a good one to replicate!! The movement has already been tried in the omega SMP GMT... so now fit it into the breitling... and we're rolling
watcher71 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 Looks great, and I prefer the older model bracelet on yours compared to the new bracelets. Seems the new seawolfs and avengers come with the new bracelet as well, which is a shame because the old bracelet looked way badder...
