I just want a watch that says, "Man, this guy has taste!"

Can you guys help me out?

if you by a Breitling almost everyone will say "Man, this guy has taste!"

If you buy a Breitling almost everyone will say "Man, this guy has a big watch on his wrist" :wink:

... almost everyone.

Like others have said, buy the watch that makes you happy and feel good about your purchase and what's on your wrist!

The advice you are getting from others here is right on target!

I actually live in Martinsville, VA and there are a few places around that sell Breitlings but it doesn't look like they carry anything in stock, really.

I can't decide between the Superocean Steelfish and the Colt Automatic. They are both beautiful watches. I want to see them both in person before I decide to buy one. If I could find a nice used one that didn't have any scratches or noticable blemishes I would consider it but I think I would really like to buy new this time (might just have to save longer!). I'd love something with diamonds but that is probably way out of reach for me unless the used ones are sold at a super duper discount.

Someone earlier said that there are different maintenance fees for Chrono and non Chrono watches but I thought all Breitlings were Chronographs. Am I wrong on that?

Finally, you guys are really helpful...its nice to come to a forum that isn't overrun with 16 year old kids talking about how fast their dad's Corvette is for a change.

All Breitlings are Chronometers (watches certified by the COSC). Youre mixing that up with a Chronograph, which is a watch with a start/stop timer on it.
