The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I like the non chrono version quite a bit, but everytime I think about getting one ... another watch calls to me louder. I have had it on my wrist more than a few times and its a real classy looking watch.

On the diver point: Doesnt the bezel rotate on this watch??? I thought all Breitlings have rotating bezels. If so than the indicator at 12 makes it capible of marking dive time... or am I missing something??

Hello All!

At first I did not like the watch in either configuration; however the non-chronograph has grown on me.

Incidentally, I really do like the mess bracelet. However, I would prefer the New Transocean with the B-01 movement.

Cheers,

Enezdez

The only reason that I say that it might not be too useful as a diver is that even though the bezel rotates and it has the marker, I'm guessing that it could be a bit hard to see underwater without any lume on it. Know what I mean? But I've never dived and never plan too so I'm nowhere near an expert on underwater visibility.

Ok, easy enough. I guess because its more of a dive watch/elegant time piece It raised the question a little. After wearing it for a few days its beginning to grow on me a bit.

For the gentlemen with the dive watch/time statement. It can measure time by using the bezel, however this is lapse time.

For what it's worth I like both heads as I think they are very good looking pieces, but I am not a big fan of the mesh bracelet. That being said however; I've never really examined them in the metal or tried one on, so I do not speak from experience. I reckon I'll have to do that in the near future during my return to Dubai just so I can satisfy my own issues on the mesh bracelet issue. One more excuse to stop in the AD and gawk and become entranced with all the shiny baubles.

I like the blue dial heritage. The combination of no chronograph and the bracelet gives the watch a clean, classy, retro look to me. Had one in my hand, and on my wrist, this past weekend while in Vegas. Came within seconds of picking it up. Might still get one locally. To each his own!

Personally I really like the bracelet on both models. If I had the dough, I would purchase either or both of them

Here's how you fall in love with that watch - put it one, stand about 5' from the mirror, and look at it in the mirror. It has an impressive elegant presence. After all, that's how everyone else sees it on your wrist.
