Hi everyone
Came across this site a little while ago while trying to find some information on a potential Breitling purchase. Gave me all the gen I needed to make my my 2nd Breitling purchase...thanks!
My first Breitling buy was made in the late 90's an Aerospace Repetition Minutes. Really was a poor purchase and an impulse buy that I came to regret within a few weeks.
While beautifully made, I couldn't "get-on" with the lightness of Ti watches and it pretty much sat around unloved and unworn until it was recently re- homed
Since then a variety of watches have accumulated from Omega, Rolex and IWC mainly but I could never be attracted to any of the Breitling models until 6 months ago when I saw a picture of a White faced (Mother-of-Pearl?) Crosswind Special on a Pilot bracelet and the hunt began.
Eventually I found a close to new condition model from 2000 with all the paperwork and packaging - the deal was done and I came away a very happy chappie.
A really substantial piece and the Pilot bracelet is one of the nicest bracelets I've come across - the dial is gorgeous; the watch, in my eyes at least and despite the "brightness" is quite subtle.
The bug has got me! Last week I picked up a 2007 Superocean on a Pro2 bracelet. White faced with blue sub dials - another lovely piece that wears so comfortably.
Some sort of flavour of Navitimer is next on the horizon I think - maybe Santa will be good to me!
Anyway, great forum and a great resource and I look forward to learning and contributing as I go along
