Well hello,

After going through the forum and countless other Breitling-related websites for months now, I can finally share my childish-like joy and excitement of the jewel I've been having for just over a month - my first Breitling, an Airwolf Raven timepiece of art. Got it from the local AD (Sofia, Bulgaria) and have been as happy as ever since. I'll spare the tech specs of the watch and my impressions so far to leave room for the visuals - hope you enjoy them as much as I am enjoying the watch.

really like the looks of this one, congraulations on your pickup. How is the bezel action? I've heard some describe it as (too) easy to turn....how would you describe yours? thanks

Many thanks. I've read the bezel stories too before I got it. Anyway, the bezel is easy to move but by no means loose or something. I think the font size of numbers on both the fixed and bezel scales is a bit smaller than say a Navi World one (which has a harder bezel), for which purpose a more easy-to-move bezel is better, improving the precision achieved / time necessary ratio.

In everyday usage terms, my impression so far is that if you fix the bezel at a certain position in the morning, in 4 out of 5 days it won't have moved a bit in the evening. That's of course provided you have an office job like me and don't go doing extraordinary physical activities on a daily basis :D

Cheers,

i.
