The Breitling Watch Source Forums

After saving up some cash for a looong while and working those god damn extra shifts at work..
I could finally pick up my new baby today and i love it !! I gotta say, its a little more heavy then my citizen titanium watch .. Quick question: it seems to get scratches by just looking at it.. is it safe to go over the bracelet with capecods every day ?

And I also did the smart thing by setting the date between 8 and 3 o'clock..hope i didn't do any damage to the watch.. anyways sorry for the crappy photos..

Same story with my Super Avenger (and all highly polished Breitlings one assumes). I use a oakley lens cleaner to polish it but lo and behold, an 1hr later it usually needs another wipe. Congratulations anyway on the great watch, I bet all that extra hard work made it an even sweeter purchase.

Congratulations on a great piece!

The scratches do show on Breitlings because of the polished finish. Cape Cods will take a microscopic amount of metal away every time you use them, so probably don't want to do it every day - easier to learn to love the occasional 'experience mark'

Beautiful piece. Congrats and wear it in good health.

Very nice, I hope you enjoy it. I have been useing a Sunshine cloth to wipe down my watches. The problem is like it has been said it takes a little Ling every time you polish them. Enjoy!

I LOVE THIS WATCH (biased) Im sure all the hard work was worth it! I know what you mean by that feeling of you scratching your watch just by looking at it. Although Im sure you will always cherish this fine piece, it will take a lil while to get over the "honeymoon" period, then it will be a part of you! ENJOY!!!

I like to think of it as patina.
It shows you wear and use it rather than coddle it in a display case (though I do that for my PP).

Enjoy it - it's a great watch...

Agreed 100%. What's the point in in working hard and saving up to buy such a nice watch and putting it in a case? I heard someone once say he was going to by a Breitling and only wear it once or twice a year. I was puzzled.

Wear it, show it off an enjoy it

Thanks for the kind comments guys I also got a lovely comment from one of my female colleagues today. She said: "It's almost like I'm getting horny by looking at a watch" Nice one !
