A view days ago, I took interest in the CSO... I liked it because I wanted a not too big watch with the 7750 caliber that takes advantage of the Date an Day function... and it should be submersible... well, here we are...

A view specs, I'm sure most of you will know already...

Caliber: Breitling 13 (Basic ETA Valjoux 7750)
Power reserve: 42 hours
Chronograph: 1/4 seconds, 30 minutes, 12 hours
Vibration: 28.800 v.p.h.
Jewel: 25 rubies
Calender: Day & date
Case: Stainless Steel
Bracelet: Stainless Steel (Professional II)
Water resistance: 500m / 1.650ft.
Bezel: Stainless Steel, unidirectional
Crown: Screw-locked, two gaskets
Pusher: Screw-locked
Caseback: Screwed-in
Crystal, Sapphire, domed, AG-treating on both sides
Diameter: 42mm
Thikness: 15,10mm
Weight: 117,60 gr / 205gr (with bracelet)

I planned the acquisition of the watch roughly for the end of the year, but as it turns out this one's a model, that Breitling doesn't support and build any longer, so the good ones will go fast!
I posted a WTB in a german watchforum and got lucky a few days later... a NOS watch from 2006 was offerd to me at a very reasonable price... I took the plunge and met the seller today.

Here's what I came back with this morning...

Box

All the goodies
Image

Still sealed
Image

Image


Off with the bezel protector...
Image

Image

Image


...and out of the box!
Image

Image

Image


Heres the bracelet in full length... fits my wrist perfectly! :D
Image


The sides had some very minor scuffing... a few minutes with capecod and everything is nice and shiny again!
Image

Image

Image


Now off with the protective films
Image

Image

Image


And on my (8.5") wrist. The watch wears a lot bigger than 42mm... I'd say it fits rather nicely!)

Now for a little sunshine! 8)

Thank you guys... originally I wanted the blue dialed version, but I got this one offered for a steal, so I didn't care that much! :D

The black dial really rocks and goes well with a rubber or leather strap, too!

That's the best dial color for me. Congratulations H. Solo on the pick up, nice watch and fantastic photos!

The first lume photo was a beaut! Someone wrote on another thread that the lume on the CSO wasn't very good. I wondered at the time if we had the same watch. I've always thought the CSO lume is good.

I also think the thickness of the watch adds to the versatility by allowing it not to look small on larger wrists while not oversized on a smaller wrist.

Oddly enough, I have mine on today. :lingsrock:

WOW, congratulations on the CSO and a tip of the hat to you sir for the great pictures. The watch looks in amazing condition as well and it fits your wrist very well.

@sharkman: the CSO with the brown croco sure is sweet and this fact is torturing me. Don't know how long I can last before I cave in...
