I'm new to this forum, but not Breitling. I thought you'd like to see a couple of pics?

For a bit of fun I'm posting a couple of shots I took of my LE Crosswind Special.

Which background give the most 'pop' to this - I consider my most beautiful Breitling - though the SO Heritage 38mm is quite sweet too!

Looks like a great forum - I hope I can get to know you guys? :lingsrock:

Welcome, and well done on the pics.

I would go for the black. Both are excellent, though.
What a stunning watch! The whole combo with the gold and white works very well, as does the strap.
Welcome to the forum! This place is the best. I hope you will feel at home here, and post lots more with pics!
Although I only have one Breitling at the moment (I sold 2 and got an Omega), this is still IMO the best forum.
Cheers,
Carl

I'd go for the black. It bring the white face of the watch to the front and therefore all of the viewers attention is drawn to the watch (whitch is the purpose of the photo, right? ;) )

The white background becomes too much in my opinion.

Hi Martyn.

I know you from TZ and let me congratulate you for your incredible collection. IMHO that Crosswind LE is the most beautiful in that amazing group.

Best regards
Gabriel.

Hmm,

I like the way that the white creates the contrast of the case aganist the background, but agree that it doesn't make the dial pop so much.

For that reason I would go black, but either way I think that I'm going to enjoy your photos!

Black shows off the watch more, I like that better. The white makes the strap easier to see. BTW, that watch is beautiful.

Great looking watch. Both pictures are great but I think I like the black better.
