Almost all the Aerospace models on the secondary market have gold trim.. and I am not even sure why because I think it looks better without.. but then the one i got had Gold trim too.

I like my diamonds on my Evo. It makes it different from all my other Breitlings so I can choose the right watch for the occasion.

I think your absolutely right, I prefer the all Ti version and in fact thats the one I had been looking at for such a long time, but this one came up at a good price so why wait, hey its only money! :lol:
One thing I do like about the bi colour version is the gold graphics on the dial.....dunno, maybe its a flippa, maybe not.....

Best regards David

I will do more after I clean, polish, sweep, brush, shine and mount the diamonds on the bezel :lol:

It's nice........

Best regards David


I love the Aerospace. I've had about half a dozen of them and always come back to them because they are so comfortable to wear. Currently have a Jordan special edition at BUSA getting new hands and the loose bezel fixed. They've had it since February :evil: Here's a pic of a RAF Tornado special edition I had last year.

Regards.

Yeah,

I heard that too. When I took my Bentley GT in after only having it 5 weeks and it was getting discolored on the dial they tried to send it off to repair but I talked them into just talking it back and letting me pay the difference to get the Whole Ling Bentley. I've heard that repairs are very slow with Lings. For older models and polishing jobs we have a trained Ling technician right here in town. But even that can be a wait if parts are involved. A few years ago I took my Chronomat to the wrong place for polishing job and the guy that did it broke the balance inside the watch or something like that and I took it to my real Ling man. It took over 3 months to get the parts from Breitling.

piece to your collection. I admit I was very reluctant because I knew some of my fellow Breitling fans would give me grief but wifey insisted I have it for my 60th birthday. I have to say it has become one of my favorites mainly because in bright sunlight it never fails to remind me I'm wearing it. LOL. My wife, daughter and sister wear MOP diamond Breitlings and they all like the EVO better than my other chronos, but they're girls so I'm not sure that really counts... LOL. :lol: Here's the lot.... :wink:

Cheers,
Ron

Admin,

Quit screwing around with trying to make half Lings and 3/4 Lings into whole Lings and JUST GET THE WHOLE LING ! For others it is not so important but for you it is essential you are the ADMIN here. The Admin must have a WHOLE LING !

He's right you know (acceldebt) tho it pains me to admit it - my glance rate (the frequency that I look at my Bentley) has dropped to 45 seconds, but even so, this is superb jewellery - and from someone who doesn't even wear jewellery...

Sportback,


SEE, what did I tell you guy's. That is why it's the top of the line Ling. The only way to get above it is to get into the Mulliner or Tourbillon or All Gold. It has the coolest features, it's the largest and that's why it's the WHOLE LING. Stop torturing yourselves with shortcuts and just listen to LING MAN !

Admin,

I could ask you the same question, I've seen several tutorials from you, the You Tube deal etc. And no Admin face either. But the real reason that I don't want to reveal my true identity is because where I live it is over run with Ling owners and they will all start showing up at my office seeking counseling and advice on issues like degraded Ling rehabilitation, where to get a quick polishing job for a degraded brushed Ling etc. I am very willing to continue offering the valuable content that I contribute here but I don't want to become a full time Ling counselor.

Haha.. I would have the same fears, were I you.

The reason I don't show my face is because I'm doing reviews of the watch, not me, macro mode on the camera is only for close up. But since you want to see a pic of here, here it is:
