The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello everyone.

I started my watch journey in 2008 with the Breitling Super Avenger (the review and the entire "journey" is in the reviews section of breitlingsource)

8 years and many watches later, I am now down to 1 space left in my watchbox and the directive from the missus is to think hard and choose wisely - cos one this space is filled - there are to be no more watches for the foreseeable future.

So based on what you see, which should be the last watch to add and fill up the 12th space?

I see you like black dials, how about a black dial NAVITIMER GMT.

With 11 dark watches I myself would go out of the box an look for an silver or off white Breitling. Depending on your budget you could pick up an avenger II GMT or go big with a 01 Navi in white!

The new 48mm Navitimer is definitely on the shortlist!
Also, the Rolex itch is yet to be scratched - was also considering the Deep Sea Sea Dweller.

Grand Seiko?

The Grand Seiko certainly compares to all the others in my collection in terms of quality and finishing, but suffers from a branding issue.

Have a $250 and $10,000 watch with the same brand name?

That's why Volkswagen has a suite of brands from Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini other than the eponymous Volkswagen brand.

I get the Grand Seko hesitancy, though I finally got to see some in the metal a couple of weeks ago. The snowflake and the chronicle are unique pieces and I haven't had that much happiness from the tactile feel of winding a watch since my old Breguet XXI. Remarkable, at least try one on. That said, if you have the Rolex itch and one spot left, scratch it. They are great watches. Other suggestions are not surprisingly, a Navitimer or another classic, a Moonwatch. Since you do like larger pieces, a fifty fathoms also comes to mind.
