The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Got a call this morning setting up a conference call at noon. I try not to work on weekends, but this guy says it can’t wait until Tuesday.


Must be important, better get ready to take notes………….








Oh, for God’s sake!

Nice 'fish by the way.

Did you have to draw that picture just for the thread? Most lawyers seem have that page already open.

Nice job on the clasp. It finishes the SF nicely and makes me want an OR.

The OR has become my default look for the blue dial Fish. I prefer it to the DPII - at least on this model.

Nice job on the clasp. I need to send one over to you so you can brush mine!!

Now that you have the PO I'm thinking that you need to sell one of your fishes

You're a funny guy Justin. I get a bracelet for the PO delivered tomorrow so I can have 2 looks.

As for the Fishes, I've just hit my stride - the blue dial on the OR is my new killer look. And taking a polished deployment and just brushing the top, leaving the sides polished, complimnets the case of the watch. Plus I just got a bi-fold/butterfly deployment(after market) for the gold croco and now the white dial/gold croco wears much nicer, far more comfortble than on the tang buckle. Of course I learned this after spending a boat load for an OEM single fold clasp. Grrr...

Nope it's hard to imagine parting with either Fish.

So you really like the aftermarket deployment better than the OEM one? I love the idea of the deployment clasps, but as I've stated before, I'm cheap. You ever get that other strap from stonecreek I think?

The stonecreek tan alligator rally strap will be ready this week or next.

The problem I have with the Breilting deployment is a function of my small wrist. I need short straps and single fold deployments are longer and cock too far to the lateral side of my arm. I picked up a couple $40 clasps from Bob Davis at mywatchmaker.net. Work quite well - nothing fancy. I now realize the tang buckles don't counter the heft of a typical Breitling watch. But the shorter bi-fold clasp does nicley. Much gentler on the leather than that razor sharp Breitling buckle. Live and learn.

Well that makes sense, glad that you found a combo that works well for you.

How are you liking the PO? I tried on the 42 and 45mm versions with bracelet and the leather feeling rubber strap when I was in Vegas. What a WATCH!! Probably my next purchase. I think I'm gonna go with the 45mm w/orange numbers, I need a sporty watch and it's either that or the Seawolf, which is also a hell of a watch as you well know.

That's the choice IMO. With the black bezel - the orange bezel doesn't do it for me. That rubber strap with the orange stitching is so comfortable. I'm looking forward to putting the bracelet on it tomorrow. Glad I snatched it up because the next visit to the AD the rest of the Omegas were boxed and on their way to a "secret buyer." No more 40% off but got 2 Speedys, the NOS Great White GMT, and P.O. were a great run while they lasted. Wish I had found the right Broad Arrow.
