Welcome aboard!

I had a chance to see one up close last year in Curacao. They are really large on the wrist. Very nice!

Where's the compass?








Only kidding :D lovely piece and really clear pics. On the back burner for me at the moment but this is the watch which first turned me on to Breitling.

One day.....one day.

Nice - thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone! I'm enjoying it so much yet, I can't wait to get more :p

Quick question from a noob, but what are the Full Ling, 3/4 Ling and Pro Club graphics I see in some peoples signatures?

Wow. Nice, classic design with the antenna twist among other things. Good buy.

Is that the antenna unveiling I see in the last pics?



















Just kidding...

Has anyone heard of any discussion from Breitling on changing to the 406 Mhz ELT frequency? See the following from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Assn (AOPA) website:

ELTs were originally intended for use on the 121.5-MHz frequency to alert air traffic control and aircraft monitoring the frequency. In 1982 a satellite-based monitoring system was implemented (COSPAS-SARSAT) to provide a better receiving source for these signals. As of February 1, 2009, the international COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system will discontinue satellite-based monitoring of the 121.5/243-MHz frequencies, in part because of a high number of false signals attributed with these frequencies. While there's no requirement in the United States to replace the first- and second-generation 121.5-MHz ELTs, after this date, 121.5/243-MHz distress signals transmitted from ELTs operating on the lower frequency will only be detected by ground-based receivers such as local airport facilities and air traffic control facilities or by overflying aircraft. It is important to note that after 2009, existing 121.5-MHz ELTs, although still legal from the FAA's perspective, will provide extremely limited assistance if an aircraft crashes, especially in a remote location.

Breitling are not changing, and they don't need to.

The change only relates to satellite monitoring. Planes / ships / etc will continue to monitor 121.5. It is highly unlikely that the signal from an Ermergency would be strong enough to allow satellite monitoring anyway, so it's a lragely academic change for Breitling owners.

Damn, I've been staring at these same pics several times now. This must be one of the best Breitling models ever??
