Took this today as the sun was shining for about 30 minutes this summer. I thought it would be nice as it's quite unusual to see one. I'm not sure how many they sold because they seem to be quite scarce. I've had it about four years and i still don't know if i love it or hate it :?:Image

That's a great looking piece (and a great photo). I love the depth of the Hercules.

I like it... it is one of those "will buy sometime in the future" for me.
Really different as they integrated the bracelet also. Nice picture!

I hope you have your watch safely back upstairs or it might get washed away with the disgraceful weather this summer!!

Lovely watch btw! :D

Nice one happy_chapie! You certainly don't see many around, and that's because they weren't all that popular when they were in production. At the time they were seen by many as "not Breitling enough" in terms of looks! The funny thing is, I reckon they'd sell far better if they were made today.....

I really like them now..... but I must admit I was one of the nay-sayers when they came out! :oops:

Chapie,

You still don't know if you love or hate it? After four years? You are one fickle boy, if you don't mind my saying. :wink: I promise you, if I owned it, it would be loved to death, as all my watches are. :)

Anyway, love it or hate it, wear it in good health.

Steve
