The Breitling Watch Source Forums :: View topic - What does a Breitling __

I don't understand the question. What does the watch itself say or what does the watch say about the person?

I personally buy watches to fulfill a specific function (or functions), so I don't know how to answer how to interpret a specific model other than I assume it exists to fulfill a function - be it for aesthetic or functional reasons - or both.

As to what a watch says about a person, I don't think about it. I think the way people act speaks for themselves and the watch has nothing to do with the personality. I know lovely, well to do people who wear $100 watches and I know total jerks who can't pay their bills who own a Rolex.

I'm starting to understand this better now I believe...

My CE fits me perfectly for an everyday wearer... Jeans or a suit, beach to the board room

My World fits me perfectly for occasional wearer when I feel slightly more sophisticated in the way I dress. Suit or even dressing up with jeans. For now, I don't mind slapping it on though when I'm heading out the door regardless just because it's new!

Have a good weekend ya'll!
:lingsrock:

I feel like I can wear it with a suit every day to work and it looks just as good with a t-shirt and jeans on the weekend. It's basically whatever I want it to be. I also love the way it looks and find its functionality very useful as well.

tick-tock! LOL, all kidding aside. Breitling styles have a huge range. I'm interested in what some of the people on the board interpret from individual models. For instance, an Emergency has a much different presence than a Montbrillant Datora. So, lay it on folks.

My Breitlings say I appreciate beauty , craftsmanship and self indulgence . As I sit in my study typing this , I gaze at the Breitling on my wrist , in this instance my Cockpit , and I am still captured by its beauty . It is a pleasure that is mine personally and I don't need anyone to share it with .

Yea, as I reflected on the post, my intentions aren't being put into words very well. I don't want to get into those pretentious "What does my watch say about me?" type on thread. I think maybe a better way to put this thread is, how does a _____ Breitling fit? I just find myself getting a much different feeling clipping on a Steelfish than I do when I put on my Emergency. Both are daily wearers, just I feel they are worn differently. I am trying to figure out why that is, and see if others can identify. Any help?

My Breitlings tell me to eat chocolate cake with ice cream.

The B1 will say "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" at any time you desire.

My thoughts are similar to mrcheatie. My BlackBird is my "everyday" watch. I feel like I can wear it with a suit every day to work and it looks just as good with a t-shirt and jeans on the weekend. It's basically whatever I want it to be. I also love the way it looks and find its functionality very useful as well. However, because it is my "everyday" watch and I want it to remain in presentable shape, I'll wear my Omega to the beach and the Panerai typically only comes out for special occasions or when I have a very nice suit on - and special dates with the wife

Being one of Breitling's lower-priced models, I think it speaks both to practicality and quality - it's a great all-around watch.

My SA talks to me every day, just by being there, it reminds me just how long it took to achieve my goal buying it......if i take it off to do any work,like on the car, in the garden, or decorating, i feel as though i have had a bereavement, my wrist feels different, none of my other watches fills the gap. After an SA nothing else will do.
