Hi! I stumbled upon this site not to long ago [with some direction/help from mwheatley] and find it very useful. Everyone seems helpful and great! I started working at an AD a few months ago and have become enamored with a few of the watches we carry, and am currently deciding on which one will be my first Breitling! I'll work on posting some pics but was wondering on some feedback and ideas from you guys.

The watches I'm deciding between are the:

Super Ocean Heritage Chronograph Blue Dial / Blue Ocean Racer Folding Clasp
Navitimer Chrono-matic 49 Black Dial / Black Leather Folding Clasp

Black Steel Black Dial Super Avenger / Black Diver Pro.

I'm a bigger guy and I like the bigger watches. Its magnetic. I can't help it.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Welcome to the forums.

If this is an 'only' watch then I would rule out hte Blacksteel from a practicality standpoint and I'm never going to forgive BReitling for putting the crown on the wrong side of the Chrono-matic 49 (but that's probably just me), so for me it would be the SOHC.

But as you know - it has to be the one that calls out to you.

Glad to see you on here bud. I am thinking you should just get both man. If you don't you will suffer from what is getting me. You will have one but want another one too! Just pull the trigger and get both. I know working at an AD has its benefits.
