The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I wear my B-1 in rotation with my other watches.

I'm more worried about losing my way home than losing my watch

Nickel M8. Took me a little while to find a nickel version - though I've had this one for a few years now.

The Nill grips were ordered direct. They are fantastic. Aside from cosmetic appeal, they are great shooting grips.

You'll love the P7. Best carry gun I've ever had.

I wear daily and do not worry. I do work in a questionable area but wear long sleeves and make sure it's covered when I'm out in the hood.

Wearing a nice watch (especially one with some shine or flash) can garner attention by those actively looking to rob/mug you (like the aforementioned dicey parts of town). LA in the early 90's was notorious for Rolex muggings. Especially at certain stoplights (in Beverly Hills) if you had your arm hanging out the window.

Personally, these days I don't worry about it at all. Besides, it's like those who CCW a handgun. You're thinking about it because you know you have it, hence you think other people will notice it as well. You can become self conscious In reality, people really aren't paying attention.

We notice watches, bc we're watch nuts. The regular Joe on the street... not so much. Especially if it's a steel watch.

My 2¢

True to a point, but unless you're carrying an AK, the right pistol becomes second nature very quickly, especially if you carry every day.

i have 2 lings and wear either one every day. have a baume mercier for very dressy occasions but thats like twice a year.

while i dont worry per se, if im walking in shadier hoods, im conscious of it and may pull my sleeves down so as to not advertise it. walking around midtown ny everyday, i dont even think about it.

In WP here. You?

That is so true. That's why it's so important to carry everyday and train with that gun. So it's just second nature! CCW and AK! Haha. Maybe if you're the hulk!

And that P7M8 really is what I believe to be the perfect carry gun. I can't wait to track mine down. Excellent taste sir!

im in dobbs and work in the city. WP is very iffy, like Mt Vernon and Yonkas.... just kiddin.

I wear one everyday.
Couldnt give a stuff about my watch if someone tried to mug me. I'd put up a fight, but if any weapons come out, your watch aint worth being stabbed/shot for.

I wear this one just about every day, but I'm not worried, as I look like a mugger.

I have a Breitling for bentley motors and 6.75, I wear the motors almost daily and have no issues. I work in a bad part of town but live in the suburbs. Situational awareness is key to being safe. The days I don't wear them though are usually range days where I don't wear any watch.

Btw, I had a hard chrome p7 psp, it shot well but realistically I never shot it much so I sold it for something I would shoot. Bought a 1911 instead but still own about 9 other hk's

Bad ass! 9 other HK's damn.
