Many congratulations on your Colt, it looks great.
I work in and around South London, (Putney mainly), so i'll keep an eye out for a guy
wearing a Colt automatic,- and a big smile accross his face.
Nick.

Hi Everyone, My Name is Simon and I'm an Architectural Designer based out of South London. I have had a passion for watches for a few years now, but most of the watches I own have been bought as gifts or for pure design and I have never really considered the mechanical goings on as an important factor until now. After a budgeting and research on this fantastic forum, my current watch collection is now graced with a Breitling Colt Automatic with a black face and I couldn't be happier. The things I really love about the watch are as follows, - The quality of the face is exceptional, the rigged effect and the applied hour markers are just so damn classy. - The metal bracelet is comfortable, if a little sweaty, but again is a real eye catcher - The weight of the watch is spot on in my opinion. I used to wear a tag and found it a little cumbersome and oversized. I have small wrists, so the 38 mm size is about right for me. The watch has just come back from a full Breitling service and seems to be holding time very accurately, and sweeps along beautifully. Any suggestions on an alternative strap for the future? I have a CWC with a Nato strap and think it's great but also like leather. Attached is a terrible photo which doesn't do the watch justice and shows lots of hairlines scratches taken from my phone, will post better pictures soon |
