A golf buddy of mine yesterday was wearing an Aerospace Ti Black face and it looks absolutely stunning. :shock: I tried it on and was surprised on how comfortable it was and it looks amazing on the wrist. I always thought the Aerospace was small but the one he had was larger and he told me that it was the newer 42mm or 43mm version?

For years I rotated between the Omega X-33 and B-1. A few years back I picked up the newer version of the Aerospace. I always avoided original one because of the smaller size, being drawn to larger size watches. The newer 42mm version is perfect. It is wicked comfortable on either the bracelet or strap. It has now become my go to watch.

Can't go wrong with it...

Now, that's a pretty neat time piece, turkeylover. :lingsrock:

I have to admit, I find myself becoming increasingly fond of the current Aerospace. It's got great functionality, and far from being bulky and heavy, like many Breitlings, it seems like it would be one of the most comfortable watches one could wear. I also appreciate that it's one model featuring the Pro II bracelet where the endpieces actually fit the case well.

Hmmm...that's a veiled put-down if ever I saw one.

Now if that isn't an endorsement for an "Instrument for Professionals," I don't know what is.

What's the "tone" of the titanium? Most of the pictures I've seen make it look pretty grey-ish, and not as bright as stainless steel. However, the above pics make it look a little brighter than what I'm used to seeing.

It lacks the bling of the larger polished Breitlings. That is why it is my favorite, not too big and not too small. The color is a matte grayish color with a fantastic brushed finish. Finishing is the one thing Breitling excells at along with printing dials.

Love my Aerospace. Good looking, functional, and comfortable. But, a bit quirky to adjust so I rarely take it along when I travel across time zones.

I've wondered about that. Given that all of its functions are controlled by a single crown, I would guess it could be a little tricky - or annoying - to access them on the fly. Admin's Youtube review says about as much.

Quirky or not, you get rewarded when you're looking at its face.

Great pic Turkeylover :lingsrock:
