The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So then.....

Yesterday I was out and about and I just happened to walk past a Breitling AD, and what should I see in the window? The new Breitling Premier panda. Now I didn't have time to go in and try it on, but I had a good look with my nose pressed up against the glass, and......

...... I can safely say after seeing one in the flesh I was too hasty saying it was "a bit dull".

To recap my original post, I said -

"They're all quite.....inoffensive. The twin register B01's are the clear standouts for me, but there's still something just a bit, well, dull about them. Kind of hard to put my finger on it, but they just don't excite me in some way. I certainly don't dislike them at all (especially the B01 variants), but they don't scream 'buy me!' either."

I'm happy to say that, while my initial impressions were solely based on a few pictures, it looks infinitely nicer in person. To be honest I can't think of another watch that has made a more different impression on me based on pictures compared to in real life. Next thing is to try one on, but on looks alone I'm prepared to eat a nice slice of humble pie and say I was wrong, and that it's actually a very nice looking piece.

So, this one's for you Fred!

thank you for the nice piece if pie, was actually sure you’d like it better irl.
now... waiting for you to handle them, see the detailed work on case and dials - and strap them on, quite sure you’ll like them on the wrist too.

Gotta say I’m pretty excited to see this piece up close too.
