Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm leaving Breitling. I owned a Superocean Heritage wich I sold and yesterday I sold my Navitimer 01 Limited Edition.

In a few weeks I'm picking up a Rolex Submariner Ceramic 116610LN, in my eyes a perfect watch.

Thanks for a great time guys!

Was it something we said? Are Breitlings & Rolexes like matter/antimatter,
& can't peacefully co-exist in close proximity without causing mass destruction?

Hi guys,

No no, I'm not leaving because of you fine people ;).

I sold my Breitlings because I think Breitling is on the wrong pad... too much limited editions, too many new wrong models, too much discount from AD's, problems with the Caliber 01 movement,... I also sold my Navitimer 01 LE because I didn't like the size. Breitling should kept the Navitimer at 40mm... Bigger isn't always better!

Anyway, here some pictures from my Navitimer. I took the pictures for the buyer when I sold it.

Enjoy!

Submariner is a great watch, (although i prefer the non ceramic version) but you should have at least one Breitling. Even if its just to get into the VIP tent at the air shows! Rolex won't do that for you!
