The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I feel that most guys in active duty probably would not opt for this piece due to its size to begin with, but I still think it's badass.

And not to mention the cost. Why potentially knacker a $7400 watch when you can potentially knacker a $200 G-Shock instead.......

I wore G-shocks on my combat tours. If things went south, I wouldn't want some bastard taking my nice watch. Plus Gshocks take a good beating.

Exactly. I doubt any active servicemen (except pilots) wear these expensive watches on tour. It's like the whole thing with JLC and the SEALs. With khaki's maybe, with ghillie suit probably never!

Agreed.


Agreed also

Love the watch / the design / layout. Not a big fan of DLC in general and it's sadly way too big for my wrist but I still really like it! Great work Breitling.

I want this watch so bad it hurts. Wonder if any will make it to australia, maybe the new boutique?

It's not restricted so regular ADs will get it.

You want the real life picture, here we go

That is tough looking. Really takes the SA next level.

Not for me.
- don't like DLC/PVD or whatever it is. Black finish does nothing for me.
- wrist killer for me. 44mm is the absolute most my wrist can take and even then I'm stretching the
friendship.

I think it looks great, and even more so in the real life pictures. Probably my favourite BS model so far (and let's be honest, we have HUNDREDS of BS models from Breitling to choose from now). It's just a shame it's so expensive really.

I like the look too, could never pull it off due to the size, but I think its cool looking.

If this were the first BS model that they produced it would be a home run, and it's still a great looking piece. The problem for me is that the DLC finish is now way too diluted in the Breitling range that it loses impact and the price is just crazy for what is essentially still a 7750 powered chrono.
