Hi All,

I'm new to the forum, though not to watches. I've had quite a few in the past, but paired down to bare bones over the years. One that I miss dearly as a daily wear is my Aerospace. Like many, it was my first intro into watches... While not the fanciest watch I've owned, it was the most comfortable by far. So, now it's time to indulge ;) The landscape has changed a little it seems - I'm planning to acquire a 42mm black-dial version if possible... I'm a fan of the older non-digital co-pilot as well... Anyone have leads on such a thing, pm me!

I still receive chocolates from Breitling on occasion. Good marketing - it sucked me back in :)

All the best in the New Year,
-Dan

Hi, and welcome :) Well worth indulging in another one, can't see that you would regret it.

My first Breitling was an Aerospace Avantage :lingsrock: I did sell it on, missed it and bought the older 40mm superquartz

So as a previous Aerospace owner, what do you think of the latest dials? Personally I can't stand them!

Those are some of the favorites, for sure. I'm liking this dial at the moment - simple, very high contrast. I haven't seen it in person, but I suspect it's quite nice. Anyone have an on-the-wrist shot of this?

I also love this shot, which I think was owned by someone on the forum! Love love the matching co-pilot and arabics. Yum...

Best,
-Dan
