The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Christmas came a little early for me this year. I've been thinking of getting something different than my Milgauss and Colt and really wanted something with a white or silver dial. I also wanted it to be something very casual that I can throw on with a T shirt and jeans. I looked at a few options, ranging from the Steelfish up to the UN Maxi Marine Diver. In the end, I kept coming back to this one and it arrived at my desk this morning around 10:00 and it's been on my wrist ever since. I went with the rubber strap but will probably add the bracelet down the road.




The early review is that I really like it. Having never tried it on before buying it made me a little nervous, but I'm glad I pulled the trigger.

Thanks Mac, I wish I had some natural light to take some pics to really do the dial and bezel justice

Beautiful watch. I would love to have the white dial and rubber strap if it were only 2mm smaller. Congratulations on a great choice.

Perfect. Great choice.

As for the size at 45mm - it wears smaller with a fairly shallow case back and sharply sloped lugs. It wears about same size as the Skyracer which is 43mm. If it fits me - and it does very well - the size is right for 98% of potential buyers.

Justin, would you say it's one of the most comfortable watches you've worn? It's my "football game" watch - when I go to the game I don't have to worry about scratching the bezel when the crowd gets dicey.

Whoa, this is amazing in this colour combo. :

Congrats, and I hope you enjoy.

Where did you buy from-- online sale or AD by phone? I can't imagine buying without trying...

I just got mine a few months back and couldn't be happier.

In the 12 hours that I've owned, I'd say it's very comfortable on the rubber strap. I think this rubber strap is more comfortable than the rubber strap that came with my Panerai 112. If just fit exactly what I was looking for.



I bought from my usual AD and it was shipped overnight. I saw this watch in person a year or so ago but didn't try it on. If I didn't like it, I knew I could always return it.

Here are a few group shots.

Grats on the new family addition jnelson3097.....that is one fine specimen to say the least. So where you going to take it out for a dive is my next question? Ya know ya got to take him out for a swim to be able to write a comprehensive review on him....hahahaha. Very nice choice and wear it well sir.

Great pick up Justin. You have to add the steel bracelet down the road. It is very nicely done with a polished center and brushed outer links. The bracelet also does not taper from the lugs to the clasp, which also adds wrist presence. I think the metal bracelet also lets you wear this even in a more formal/dress type situation.

OH YEAH...The quick change system allows you to change between the rubber strap and metal bracelet in like 10 seconds.

Congrats on the early Christmas present...

Great looking watch, I love it. Is the strap a deploy or tang?

Tang.

Congrats on the pick-up. Great looking watch and it really adds something different to your collection.
