The Breitling Watch Source Forums

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?

Thats it. Sending my IWC in for a MOP dialed Cockpit on polished pilot bracelet.

Congrats in advance, picking up the croc strap as well?

No croc strap at the moment, but after summer in central texas is up and I will order one then. I am pretty excited to try out the pilot bracelet since I love the navi bracelet on my CM24

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!

It did not take long for me to change my mind on this front. I am buying evnelson's blue croc strap to add a little color. I think this will be a stunning combo

Congrats. That was rather Sergio-ish of me getting it right.

Thanks sharkman! 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.
