Hello. I have been lurking for about a month asking questions. I bought my first Breitling about a week ago and am very happy with it. It did not start out that way though as i was having difficulty setting the hours on the watch. Minutes were easy but hours no way. What i discovered is you have to turn the crown "EXACTLY" as the display flashes to set the hours. It says nothing of this sort in the manual. No matter though. Everything is fine and thanks to Gert for his assistance in supplying wrist pictures i fell off the wagon and bought the Emergency.
I ended up with the black face emergency simply because its not too flashy a watch. Just my personal preference.
Anyways. Thats my story and im sticking to it.
Cheers all watch addicts.
Colin from British Columbia Canada :D

You might think the Emergency isn't flashy, but it sure is a hard watch not to notice. :)

Welcome.

True enough but compared to the coral or yellow face its positvely mellow. :D
