The Breitling Watch Source Forums

After a few weeks of owning no decent watches (sold my Breitling and my Rolex) I came across this super Ocean at an estate store that I found on ebay but was local. I drove 50 miles and something was coming home with me, the economy be damned! Paid 1400.00, hope I got a good deal. I tend to be an impulse buyer so no time to really check out prices.

If anyone is interested they have a new Chronomat for 3800.00 as well, PM me and I'll give you the name of the place.

You just need to make the IMG tags lowercase so img is correct way

Thank you sir for your help...
so what do you think?

If this is the watch you PM'd me about then you made a good purchase. Congrats!

wonderful, I think this is about as big as I can get away with on my wrist. Anyone have pics of diamond bezels on this model? Probably a waste of time but would be interesting to see.
Glad to be back with the "in" crowd again, my wrist was feeling pretty damn naked for a while.

You have found yourself a great looking piece. I think the blue dial on the SO is my personal favorite. I have never seen a diamond bezel on this watch before, might be interesting? Great watch none the less! Welcome back and may the force be with you!

William,

You got a hell of a deal! I know what you mean about having a naked wrist --
it can be painful, indeed. And what better way to decorate a
wrist than to strap on a nice blue Steelfish! Even as I write this, my
white-dialed Fish is keeping my wrist warm and secure .

Enjoy, enjoy.

Steve

thanks all, it's good to be back. I will never again allow simple economics to cloud my judgement again. To think I actually believed I didn't really need a good timepiece on my wrist...

Again, William, welcome back to reality -- watch reality!
What do they know of horological excellence, they
who think of a watch as a mere device for telling time --
a disposable device at that!

In my own family circle, I am the freak, the weird one who
tries to educate others on the beauty of mechanical timepieces (it's
just not possible, I've found). "What sane person would pay that
much for a watch?" they ask. And always the obligatory, "What is it,
a Rolex?" (Sigh)

Anyway, enjoy your new timepiece, and never part with it (unless,
of course, you decide to trade up for something a little nicer?).

Steve

Welcome back, great find even on the Pro I!

I am also the only watch guy in my family. My father has had the same Presidential for 20 years, my brother has a friggin fossil and he is a lawyer. Personally I believe if you are only going to wear one piece of jewelery make it a damn good one. Better yet have a few to choose from. The cost of enrollment is more than made up by the satisfaction of ownership.
At least with this forum I can see there are people who feel the same way as I do, it's good to know people of the same mind right?
By the way, as I am still a novice in the Breitling world, what is my watch classified as here in the forum, half Ling? I don't think I can ever be in the full Ling club, it would look like a paper weight on my wrist. Granted a damn nice looking weight but huge none the less.
