Got a call from my AD yesterday, he had something he wanted to show me. One of the limited edition Transocean in stainless on a mesh bracelet. Have to say, I think it is one of the best watches I have tried on in a long time. Very easy to read, not overly thick, good size and weight. I had to give it a serious thought as I would have to move my Nav to own it. When I got home I got out my watch and, in truth, just not going to happen. I just can not see my parting with the Nav for a TO. Not that I think there is anything wrong with the TO but I like the Nav that much.
Breitling, I think you did a great job with the TO and now you possibly have another future classic, just like the Nav.
Best health, Frank. :lingsrock:

I also agree Frank.

The TO was so much nicer than I was expecting when I got to see one up and close recently.

However, the Navitimer, and especially the Navi 01, win every time for me.

Thanks for sharing a great picture of a true classic.

Darn Frank :( I was hoping to see a live shot of the TO there, I'm a little dissapointed now!

Cheers! :wink:

Ha ha, good point Frank.

BTW, I do agree with you first statement AND choice on the Navi.
