The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Was looking around Birmingham uk town this evening and spotted an Emergency mission on a pro 2 steel up for sale in a shop.
Second hand looked lovely went in tried it on and just fell for it but out of my reach...
Black face, 18ct gold bezel parts and hands. Come with box and all paperwork .............Gaurentee with the shop £2500 and they mentioned if i was intrested then a deal could be struck......Thought it was a cracking purchase especially from a shop ( i wonder what they gave the person that sold it them )
I was absoloutly gutted i had to hand it back
Definatly a watch for me next year so need to start saving and maybe trade my B1 in for one.

I swapped my B-1 for this Mission which I had already owned some 18 months prior to the swap. It was good to get it back and as you can see it's an early Mission but on the later Pro II bracelet. I prefer the earlier Mission as it has the "ribbed" pushers which match the crown and also the lume on the arabics makes the watch stand out in the dark. I'm not a big fan of Breitlings polished arabics on their later models. For me, that was the start of the slide into plain dials (Except for Navitimers of course) and the "Buck Rogers" bezels.

I'll not part with this one as easily again.
