I want a SOII all black on DPII w/ deployant...

I'll take a Red Strike as well, wanting to see what the brushed one is like, but this is the only pic I have for now...

Last but not least BB. Ideally in house. It's not on there yet, but I can dream!!

If naught else, I am undecided between which one of these...

A few weeks back I tried the Red Strike in polished ss and it was nice. At the same time I also tried the BB in brushed and IMO I would take it in brushed. I find the BB is more of a tool watch and the brushed looks more appropriate with the full black dial. Very inconspicuous but high end at the same time.

On the Breitling configurator you have the option to print. Select print and you are then give the option to copy image or copy url with a right click of your mouse. From that you can upload to your computer or to photobucket.


Well hell I didn't know it was that easy....I used print screen and dropped it into Paint, cropped it, saved it, and uploaded to photobucket. Thanks for the shortcut br549!


I really feel like an idiot, I e-mailed all of them to myself.

According to the original info released about the Red Strike, it was supposed to be available in brushed in addition to polished. I just don't have a pic.

This is not saying I wouldn't take a polished if there was no other choice. Brushed is an easy finish to have applied if necessary. Much easier than the other way around. When I had only seen the polished I wanted to stick with brushed. Once I saw a brushed and noted the sides were not brushed nor were the pushers or the crown, it started to bug me when I looked down at the dial to read the time, and noted it was flat black dial on a brushed surface, minus the polished crown and pushers. Then I liked the consistency of the polished. I really don't like inconsistency. Mis-matched fonts, uneven finishes, that kind of thing. It really ruins a piece for me. Which is why I got an Evo instead of an SOII, and may get a Ball instead of an SOII.

You can also email it to yourself and when you receive it (immediately) right click on the photo and "save picture as" to your computer. :)
Best,

Yeah and every time I see this one I am reminded that not all Iced out Lings are gaudy, tasteless, and ostentatious.

Hi all. About 6 months ago I started playing with the configurator and came up with my dream combination Navi. I'm not the only one who likes this combo judging by this thread although I've opted for the tan strap. Anyway, look what Santa Claus brought me - just goes to prove, everything comes to he that waits (or something like that!). Happy New Year to one and all!

Can not get over how attractive this is. I don't usually like gold... anything, but there's something about the combination and balance of elements here that works just perfectly. If you get one of these, may I borrow it? :p


That's really nice. I wish the the Navitimer 01 came in this configuration. It would look really nice on a dark brown croc.
