Want some opinions on this timepiece. I understand it's a personal decision, but would love to know what Breitling enthusiasts think...it's a B4B Motors T Red Gold, mother of pearl dial. Also, if you do like it, what strap/bracelet would you wear it with? Thinking about buying it for my father on his 55th birthday.

Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful watch, but frankly looks quite large on your wrist.

Also, you used the word "investment" - just be forewarned that watches make terrible investments and, except for very rare exceptions, do no appreciate.

I agree with Ian that it looks awful big on your wrist. Can't say whether the watch is right for you, only you know that.

lol i apologize, I didn't phrase this correctly. I'm thinking of buying it for my father for his 55th birthday, who has a much larger wrist. I should have stated that initially. I just needed some comments on the timepiece itself.

It's a beauty. Weather you should get it or not, like Roff said, it's up to you. If you haven't done this already, take a look at your fathers other watches. That may help answer your question. Good luck!
