All these Breitling lists got me thinking  if you could only have one Breitling in your collection what would it be....what's your favorite ling of all time? And price isn't a concern. EDIT...any Breitling, it doesn't have to be one in your current collection. I know there are a lot of iconic Breitlings out there but if I could only have one it would be a white dial Navitimer Olympus. To me, that is the perfect Navitimer and the perfect watch. |

Tough call, and subject to change. Right now, it's a Crosswind, with black-on-black Roman numeral dial. For the record, I don't have one, but I intend to sooner or later. |

If I had to pick just one, it would have to be my black Steelfish. Indestructable and the epitome of a diver. 2nd pick is my Navitimer 01 LE, screams class and has all the ingredients for a perfect Breitling. |

I am going to have to say the Transocean LE in silver dial has me smitten right now, and with 100m of water resistance I have to give it the slight edge over the Navitimer 01 |

I would rather have the Blackbird and rest my wrist once in a while then wear my daily forever, which is my second fav, Colt Auto II, silver on Pro 2.  BlackBird, she just has it all. Can't wait till I have one on the wrist in the new car. Then the world will be perfect (Black on black 135i w/sport package etc). |

JustinFournier wrote: BlackBird, she just has it all. I would second that, but for two fairly minor exceptions. One, I'd rather have a diver's bezel than a compass bezel, since I can actually use a diver's bezel. Two, I still like the straight lugs of the pre-Evo case. Hence, my (for now) slight preference for the Crosswind. Then again, the BB has that special Pilot, made all the more better by being brushed. I suppose I could always go with an older-gen BB, but the current gen is kick-ass in every other respect, including the best lume I've seen on a Breitling, and of course the big date. Damn, this is hard. JustinFournier wrote: I would rather have the Blackbird and rest my wrist once in a while then wear my daily forever, which is my second fav, Colt Auto II, silver on Pro 2. I know what you mean. I feel similarly about my daily, the CSO. It's a great watch, but it doesn't stop me from drooling puddles over some of the other classics. |

I would have to say the Bentley Le Mans. I love that watch. I hope to have one some day. |

Hard to boil down to just one, but it would be the Navitimer 01 LE. Classic Navtimer look, new in-house engine, display back. It might not be the most versatile watch when it comes to sport or water, but I'll wear other brands for that. I was just limited to one Breitling, not one watch.

Very tough one! But I'm going to stick with my number one from my top ten thread the other day and say the Navitimer 01 non-LE, with batons, on the bracelet. |

Amazing! I always thought I had fairly individual tastes when it came to watches (Plo Prof, Graham anyone?) but my all time favourite Breitling is also the Navi 01. I would take the limited edition version on the Navi bracelet. The great thing is I am trying to sort this very combination out for myself. I appreciate this may seem to lack any imagination, as it is currently under discussion on this forum having only recently been released. However, I do feel that the Navi 01 is Breitling's most important watch of all time. |
