I don't even see it listed on the Breitling webpage. I like the watch, but I haven't heard much about it. My AD here in Scottsdale has a few and they look great on the wrist. Nice and big. But I don't want to purchase some half-Breitling, or the Porsche Boxter version of a classic watch. Thoughts on the Hercules? |

The Hercules is a discontinued model. Breitling stopped making it a year or so back. It's got quite a cool movement whereby longer periods of time are measured on the chronograph by way of a mini clock-like subdial that shows the hours and minutes. Check out this link for more info - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... nal_5.html It's quite a unique looking watch in the Breitling range with the Professional style bezel, the quite traditional looking dial and the integrated bracelet. Personally it doesn't quite work for me. I tried one on a couple of years back and it didn't do a lot for me on my wrist, but that's not to say it isn't a good watch. You don't see many about so could be worth a look if it suits you on. |

I'll need to try the thing on a few more times to see for sure. But it's in the mix, for sure. |

I really like the white dialed Hercules... the darker dials I'm not so sure about. |

I wondered why my AD had the Hercules for such a good price. It had a sticker of 2800. I didn't realize it had been discontinued. Regardless, that's a good price for that watch, IMO. And they may go even lower. I live in Scottsdale, AZ, so I have a couple of other ADs here in town that I'll check out. I may be able to find it for even cheaper. Thanks for the info, fellas. |

Out of curiosity, what were they offering it to you for? |

The price on the tag is $2800. Which is cheaper than I've even seen online. I bet they'd even go a little lower, with a little dealing. How's that price look to you? Seem fair? |

$2800 seems pretty cheap to me. I thought the Herc was around $4000 at retail. At that kind of pricing, any discount you get is a sweet deal on a new Ling. |
