The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello,
Second Hand Archie here.....
Navitimer A13322 - old navi 2
Classic 6, 9, 12 dial
Black with white eye

I have owned a few interesting watches before I got the Navi....

I feel in my heart the Breitling is better..... did I make the wrong decision? in passing these up to get the Breitling??? I can't afford them all.... so I buy 2nd hand, use for a while and sell..... then buy another.....

JLC 18K Yellow Gold Reverso Classique.
18K Yellow gold on a JLC Ostrich strap with 18K Tang JLC buckle....
I did feel this watch (which is the modern version of the original mens watch) was a touch too small for my linking. I also did not like the way it clicked in place..... scratch the back of the reverso back.
Classic watch but just TOO DAM SMALL! as a friend said to me.... "you bought the gay size...."

Patek Philippe Calatrava 3944.
Classic hobnail Patek. 18K Yellow gold on patek strap.... 18K Patek gold buckle....
I loved it... except for the dam ticking second hand. AS THIS WATCH IS PATEK'S QUARTZ CALATRAVA.
New this watch was similar in price to the mechanical cousin..... why did the buyer chose quartz? Hand made but but but QUARTZ.
People who knew Patek said why did you buy quartz.... most people have not even heard of patek.....
I person once said.... "nice longines"
Like a automatic ferrari.... the ferrari 400i - A 2nd hand DISASTER!
I COULD NOT STAND IT!!!!

The navi..... what a beautiful piece..... obviously the above 2 brand are above Breitling.... but to me.... I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE NAVI any day!
