In preparation for my purchase, I wanted to see what accessories everyone feels are necessary. Based on my reading so far, I would guess:

Screwdrivers for sizing
Polishing cloth

Am I overlooking any other obvious ones?

If you want to change out straps / bracelets you'll need a springbar tool, but the most important accessory.........

A second Breitling to keep the first company :lol:

If it's the first (and you intend to wait at least a month for the second one) there's no rush getting the screwdrivers. Your AD will size it for you when you pick it up.

Polishing cloths and a springbar tool might be handy, but I doubt you'll need it the first week or so.

My suggestion would be to first get the watch, then you can get some additional straps and a springbar tool to have some flexibility. At this point, the polishing cloths/cleaning cloths also makes sense. And then, it's time for number two... ;)

Speaking of straps, I hope I get a positive reply from a strap maker today - if so there could be an interesting combo in a week or two...
