The Breitling Watch Source Forums

First off, fair warning, there are a bunch of pics below. Anyways, my 30th bday is next Saturday, and my wonderful wife decided she would do something special for me a week early. We are going to be out of town with my family next week, and she wanted us to celebrate a bit early on our own. She spent the entire day making me an awesome homemade dinner. Almost everything was made from scratch. She's really too good to me . The meal was fatastic, the day was great, and the dessert was crazy good. She topped it off by giving me the present I've been drooling over for years . At the end of the night, she gave me my big gift...my first BREITLING!!! Simply gorgeous. This is my first ling ever so I have to say, I am VERY IMPRESSED with the entire thing, from packaging to of course the beautiful watch itself . I'm going to my local AD today to see if I can get it fitted. Very excited to be sporting the watch all day. We are going to be at a family event tonight, so it'll be a perfect place to break the watch in . Anyways, thanks for letting me share, I hope you guys enjoy the pics:

Thank you all for the kinds words. My wife really went all out and did an excellent job picking the watch. I originally asked for the Chrono Superocean but have always really really really wanted the Chrono Evolution...I just thought it was more than my wife would honestly spend. She also did a great job with the graphite face. It seems to change colors in different lighting (I'm thinking that's a result of the blue coating on the sapphire crystal). In the sun yesterday it looked somewhat blue...at night definitely graphite.



Colt, funny thing you ask. I had a few family members just absolutely love it. My family is more into brand names, labels, etc. My father in particular is what I call a "label whore", but I say that all in good fun. Anyways, he loved the watch. He has 3 Rolex's and my mother has 2. They came over yesterday and saw the watch for the first time. My dad has never seen a Breitling box and packaging before and he was completely blown away. He said and I quote "Rolex needs to step up their game...they definitely don't present the watch as nicely". Hilarious. My wife's side of the family aren't really into brand names and her brother does wear nice watch, a Raymond Weil. He asked, how is that any better than my Raymond Weil. I just kept my mouth shut.

Minty fresh Chronomat

I'm always amazed how generous some peoples other halves are I'd never ever get anything close to the value of that.

Seem to see a lot of Breitling gifts on here

Very nice watch there, congrats.
I got my first ling, also a Chronomat, a week ago and I still can't get over amazing it is. Every time I go to check the time I end up just staring at it for ages. I hope you enjoy yours just as much.

Beautiful watch...The Chronomat(EVo) was my fFIRST Breitling almost 2 years ago and I still love looking at it just as much was whe I first bought it! Is that a Graphite or Black dial?

MAC

It's Graphite, best Evo dial color IMHO.
