So after settling down a bit and deciding I really have no need for watch of a higher caliber, I am sending my IWC Aquatimer off in a trade for a Breilting from the past designs without buck rogers font and colored dials. The model was manufactured in the late 2000's and is one I have always had my eye on for a simple work watch. Even though this one will probably be pretty easy, anyone care to venture a guess on the model? |

Interesting that you imply that Breitlings are not "higher caliber." Congrats, nonetheless. |

What I meant was that I was looking to do a two-for-one trade for a while and take the next step upwards to something like a JLC, Rolex, or other in-house model. After some thought however the quality of my Lings suits me just perfect. Not a knock on Breitling just decided I didn't need to take a "step up" if you will. |

I suppose it comes down to a matter of opinion. I don't think IWC is really all that much "better" than Breitling. Then again, I'm seriously generalizing the quality of both brands in that statement, so I see what you mean. Glad you're satisfied though--that's all that counts in our hobby! |

I am buying evnelson's blue croc strap to add a little color. I think this will be a stunning combo |

There are plenty of threads with love for the original cockpit, and the wearability. I was deciding between a Colt Auto II but the MOP dial is what got me. I think it will fit in nicely with my navi an CM24, and the blue croc option will be a rather unique look. |

I'm sure you will love it. It is a simple classy looking watch. Great looking on bracelet and strap. Comfortable too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
