Another new guy here. Hi guys! I have recently purchased my first Breitling and could not be more happy with it. I bought a used model so I could judge for myself how well made these fine wristwatches really are. I bought the Breitling Cockpit on the Pilot bracelet. Beautiful watch! My only gripe is I wish it measured at around 45mm because I have a large wrist. I will post a picture of the watch in the condition it was when I purchased it and later I'll post pictures after I polished it. It really isn't that hard to polish a Breitling yourself guys. I have a Dremel tool and bought the appropriate polishing attachments, rouge, and polishing cloths and in little time at all I was staring at a "like new" Breitling. Let me know what you think. Click on the pic to enlarge. :D
