The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi,

I was going to post this a little earlier, but have been very busy with work, so it's taken a little longer than expected.
After a visit to Andrew Michaels, I came face to face with a very nice brand new B1, which must be one of the last new ones kicking around. I was intending to get a Bell & Ross, but decided on the B1 instead, mainly due to the fact I was a little worried about the 'staying power' of the B&R, and whether it would be as attractive to me in 5 years time. Looking back now, I am very glad to have got the B1, a very versatile watch which looks great in all situations. It has taken up place alongside my B2 and SuperOcean. I have improved with my picture taking, however still a very long way to go to get some of the shots that you guys take!
On a slightly different note, what do you guys think of the strap for the SuperOcean?? I got an Ocean Racer for the B1, and thought that it might be different to get a strap made to swap around with the rubber. It makes use of the deployant part, and is very comfy on the buffalo. I know some people will scoff, but at least I get more use and variety out of something, and means I can use it on all of my Breitlings!









Thanks for looking

Ash

Nice - v jealous!

Nice trinity! But the B2 is my favourite by a mile. The older model B2 like yours is great - probably the most busy watch you'll EVER see! Great stuff..... and much better looking IMO than the later B2 model. (Sorry to all you later model B2 owners out there).

Wow, a B-1 this late in the game. Quite a find there mate

Not keen on the strap for the SuperOcean. Looks too thin by Breitling standards and IMO the corse grain doesn't go too well on a 'diver' watch. As long as you like it though is all that counts
