budda Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Here is my small but effective collection. Most were purchsed from Josh at perfect clones. First up is the Breitling blackbird. A georgeous watch with very effective AR coating (albeit too blue). I lovethe brushed finish with the faceted link pieces. although a little small for me it wears pretty well with casual jeans on a weekend or friday, or crisp dres shirt for weekday use. Next up is the IWC 5004 big pilot. Another nice watch i wear during the work week but fits eaqually well on the weekends. I replaed the pilots trap for a shiny croc strap picked up from the bay Next we have the Breitling Navitimer world. I purchased this from Ruby many years ago. At one point i disassembled the wach and sandblasted the case and strap. Not satisfies with the results i purcased a repacement case from Josh. Unfortunately the case set did not come with a crown so i had to to use the sandblasted one. This is the reason for the funny crown. Since then josh has graciously shipped me a replacemet crown and i am eagerly awaiting its arrival. now on tothe picts. Here we have a cheap fleamarket special of the Breitling Super Avenger blobby pearl and all. This version is not very accurate has faux chrono and horrible mineral crystal. I purcased this to gauge the size and werability of this watch as it is a huge chunk of metal. No need to buy the ultimate version if it will just look like a clock on my wrist needless to say i hardly wear it! And finally we have the Hublot Big bang full ceramic including endlinks, and titanium bezel. I am sad to say this watch although beautiful dosent ring my bell. Overall the wath is too dark and dosent have enough contrast for my taste. I do however wear it with jeans on the weekend. This watch jsut doest fit well in a business professional setting. Think crisp white shirt or suit and an all black Hublot it just dosent work. I may end up giving this to the wife. Next on my list to by is a grey dial IWC with power reserve or portugese if they ever resolve the movement issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Congrats that's a nice collection. And your pictures are looking great. Thanks for sharing Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks for the pics. This just reminds me of how bad I need a good digital. The cell phone pics are embarrassing. The Hublot you have is very nice but like you I would say "not enough contrast". I just picked up a BBH with the polished ss and black ceramic bezel.(301 rx) It really gives it that POP. Thanks again for sharing your colliction. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 A small collection? Perhaps. But this one has some incredibly gorgeous watches - and I wouldn't mind wearing any one of them (only possible exception being that flea market Breitling.... !)
