| Post subject: | Any Tips for Buying? |
Hi again My dilema is that I am not sure which SA to buy, I love the new white face but this is almost identical to my chronomat! I love both black faces and think the new face looks classy but the white sub dials also grab me. How can I decide when no AD has all three watches in any one shop for me to put side by side and make an informed decision. How do you all decide when they are all so desirable? Thanks John |

I've got the same dilemma and my solution, whilst not perfect, is this: Go and visit your AD to see an SA in the flesh. Try it on for size, fit, feel etc to make sure it's right for you. What I did next was to open 3 separate tabs on one Internet Explorer window and go to www.breitling.co.jp/fitting/ Build all 3 versions and reduce each window in size so they're all visible at the same time, next to each other. Like I said, not perfect but it helps me decide......well, sort of - I'm still making my mind up! |

At first I was leaning towards the white dial with arabics but I think I'm favouring the white dial/baton combo on a proII bracelett. I'm not that taken with the blue dial and my CSO and Navi both have black faces. I know that that the white dial wears 'bigger' than the black or blue, but that's the one that's got me right now. |

In black,the batons dial is awesome,in white the arabic dial is the best of all. Sales have dropped big on the SA since they brought out the batons,now they have gone back to the arabic but with a Skyland look to the dial.In general the arabic is tops,but that black shade on the batons dial is sweet...

Sales down 60% since,this has been mentioned many times,do a search i guess,no news. Thats why in Basel they have gone back to the arabic and dropped the batons.

It was my understanding that the stenciled numbers will be replacing the arabics, but that the batons will still be available. BTW, you do realize that Breitling never dropped the arabics right? They added batons as an option and sold both versions along side each other. |
