I am yet to purchase my first Breitling, mostly because I change my mind everyday on which I like the best. I've decided to start a poll to help me out. Let me know what you guys think and any opinions you may have.

I think it is a impossible decision out of those 8! That is like saying what kind of car do you want....Rolls, Bentley, Ferrari, Maseratti, Lambo etc.... IMPOSSIBLE!

Narrow it done to size,occasion(everyday watch etc...)water resistance, style bla bla bla All those are completely different styles. Narrow done to Windriders, Bentleys and so on then ask us again. lol Hope this makes sense! :D :lingsrock:

Honestly I've tried to narrow it down, and I can't! I love them all. I was leaning towards the SA, but I'm skeptical if it will work with a suit. I don't need something water resistant because I'd never take it into a pool/lake/ocean.

I'm a new collector and currently own just one higher end watch. I have a G-shock Frogman for work, and a Tag Heuer Grand Carrera 17RS for going out. I sit at a desk most of the day and can be pretty rough at work, which is why I wouldn't bother wearing my Tag or future Breitling there. Thats what the G-shocks are for!

I basically want a watch that I can wear with casual wear going out on the weekend/to dinner/bars etc. and wear with a suit for formal occasions.

Chronomat Evo, mainly for its versatility.

Navi World for me too. What's not to love about a "proper" sized Navi! :D

Navi World for me, just beat out the B2, but if I actually found a NOS B2 and had the two in front of me it would be a close thing.

Wow, looks like the Navitimer World has the most votes by a long shot. What is it that everyone admires about the Nav. World? I love the watch but what makes it that much better then the rest in your opinion?

I think I've came down to my top four,

1. Super Avenger white arabic dial

2. Chronomat Evo slate grey dial

3. Navitimer World black dial

4. Bentley Motors T black dial

Based on your 4 picks you seem to enjoy Breitlings that have a larger bezel. I'm a big Navitimer fan. I love how the world is 46mm of pure facial beauty!! I love the chrono lay-out, I love the 2nd time zone function, I love it's wrist presence because it fits perfectly on my wrist, and I love the way it looks on steel or croc. I have the white and black faces because I love them both. I have a Bentley 6.75, two blackbirds, sohc, had an avenger, yet NONE of them catch my eye like the world.

If you're a Navi fan the world is the top of the line for me (well maybe my Olympus too)..if you like larger bezels I would suggest taking a look at the Blackbird. I went back and forth between Blackbird and Chrono Evolution and I'm so glad I went with the BB....it's such a great watch. Can be worn dressed up or down, sporty and classy and the big date function at 12 o'clock is really cool....and the angled cuts on the links are just awesome!

Good luck.

It has to be a Chronomat Evolution slightly ahead of a Navi World. Both classics!
