The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I bought a "Long-Playing" Model 815 when I was 15yrs old. Still have it (pictures on this forum) - and still the most beautiful Breitling I ever wished for, from then to this day. My 2nd (and probably my last) Breitling was an SOHC/mesh for my 50th. So when I kick the bucket, at least my sons both get one!

Hi All!

Bought My First Expensive Watch - Without Knowing Anything About Watches A Cartier Must21 XL TT Quartz @ The Age Of Either 20 or 21.

Bought My First Breitling - Navitimer @ 30.

Best Regards,

Enezdez

67 yrs DEC 31 2009.....after waiting for 53 years.............my super avenger has already been back once to BUK and i got satisfactory service some moisture had gathered under the crystal
The seals were diagnosed as faulty.......the repair was done under warranty with ho problems.
My first and only Breitling after waiting all that time,... my choice will stay with me.

40 - my girlfriend at the time said it was "time to buy a grownup watch."

Now she only has herself to blame as my watch fetish continues to fester and I await my first Panerai

Two days ago, I walked into Tourneau with the intention of buying a Rolex Submariner. I've wanted one forever. I tried it on my wrist and was less than thrilled. I then took a look at a few Omega Speedmaster's. While trying on the Speedmaster a beautiful black dial and shiny wire mesh caught my eye. I went over to the case and peered in at the Breitling Superocean on wire mesh bracelet. I've never once considered owning a Breitling. It was gorgeous. The lady who had been assisting me said, "Good choice. I "really" like these." My first thought was, "This is going to cost more than the Rolex." It looked better than the Submariner..it was bigger..heavier..had fantastic wrist presence...but no, it was quite a bit less. I couldn't believe it. I knew I had found my first "big boy" watch, and it wasn't a Rolex. I told the lady to wrap it up. It hasn't left my wrist since.

Wow, you too? Congrats.
