Hi guys,

I purchased my first Breitling about a year ago. I bought a Chrono SuperOcean (white face with blue subs). I absolutely love it. Best watch I have ever owned!

Here is my question...

I really want to buy a new Breitling and love the B01, but my budget is somewhat limited. Would it be a step down to add something like a Superocean Abyss...or just always great to add to the collection?

What do you guys think?

thanks!

I few weeks back, i went with my second best choice. Planet Ocean XL. I regretted it quickly and i sold it. I'm now looking for a Navitimer, which is the watch i wanted at first...

So it really is up to you, but don't make my mistake, go with the watch you really want.

:yeahthat , except the fact that you're friggin crazy for not liking the PO I agree. Save up and get what you want, not just what you can afford.

Never buy second-best, especially when it comes to things like watches. They are completely luxury goods (i.e. in no way necessities), so why settle for anything other than exactly what you want? My advice would be hold fire, save up, and get the B01.

Don't get me wrong, love the PO, i just can't afford 2 more watches, so i had to choose, maybe i'll regret and buy a PO again... :poke:

OK, you were about to be on my "enemy" list. I get moving it for something you really want though. I've been thinking of selling the BB but every time I wear it I like it even more.
