The Diver Pro II doesn't show up on the price list. Anybody care to shoot me a PM letting me the cost of one on a deployant? I'm seriously considering ordering one.

WOW :lol: Great oick up there Alex. That is such a 1-2-3 punch you have there. The SOC is fast growing on me for a couple of reasons, one being all the great photos that have shown up in the gallery lately, and the other being the non-onion crown. Really gives the watch a sporty look.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how good the CSO looks on rubber. I've resisted going with rubber, because it seems so "down scale" to have rubber on a fine watch. But pics like these just might win me over.


The rubber on deployant combo is in my mind the most functional and comfortable option. That micro adjustment, and the way the rubber fits snugly on the wrist is just perfect.

I recently learned this recently taking the leap from 2 to 3 myself I know exactly what you mean. It takes some adjusting to but you will get the hang of. :lingsrock: feel free to get comfortable with the SOC before settling into a ridged rotation. get all that new watch feeling that you can get. :D :D :D

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so it is a great feeling to strap on a watch that hasn't been admired in a few days. When Monday morning hits and I haven't seen the Navi in a few days she sure does look nice.

Anyone of your trio can be worn in just about every conceivable situation as all are very versatile. You can tell that you put alot of thought into these watches.

Just came back from the office and I used the chrono to time myself. Love the screw down pushers and they are so easy to operate. Also, the ticking of the chrono is so sweeet! :mrgreen:

@F14D_Tomcat: Thanks! I've been wearing the CSO since I got it so will give the Navi some loving tomorrow :)

@JacksonStone: I know what you mean about the rubber on a fine watch. IMO the deployant really ties the whole look together and matches the watch with its polished look. Here's a pic. I guess at the end its a fun option if you want to dress it down a bit :wink: I hope you get one since I am sure you won't be disappointed in the final result!

@Helderberg: I guess that's the culprit responsible for all the new Breitlings I've been getting. Instead of the "Fertility God" now I have to get a "$$$ God" to start multiplying my $$$ for more watches!!! Thanks Frank

@Sharkman: hopefully at the end of this week I get my SO back and I think I will switch things a bit regarding the "shoes"

@thomasenlow1: Thanks pal! I am hoping that in a while I'll be able to manage three in the rotation that is if I want to grow it in the future :lol: I have indeed thought a lot about my very humble collection :oops: I am limited as to the size of the watches so I have to be selective in my process. I think that once I get my SO back and have the three I will be able to get a good rhythm going for a diverse set of situation from formal to casual to sporty. You're right as well about the micro-adjustment mechanism on the rubber strap deployant. Its really easy to use and to set to your perfect size. Here are a few pics, hopefully you can see where its written "PUSH" very easy to operate

Sorry for all the pics, can you tell I am excited!!!

Well that's right, I forgot about the SO. The bracelet end links ate the same for the SO and the CSO. Lots of options there.

Well damn, Alex. Those pics seal the deal. I now know my next watch-related purchase. (On a related note, how is it Breitling isn't incorporating that clasp into all their bracelets?)

It's funny how much I appreciate some of these models now that they are no longer in production.

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

Best health, Frank.

That's great to hear! Perfect for the spring and summer months coming. Thats a good question btw, doesn't the proII bracelet have the option of being adjusted by moving the pin? I don't have mine here so I could be mistaken, of course, not with the same ease of use as the clasp on the rubber strap...

@Helderberg: Thanks Frank, I hope to get her back soon!

I think the DP has the same adjustment options as the OR, so yes.

Thanks for the comments gents :D ! Indeed, I am having a hard time not having it on my wrist. I feel bad for the Navitimer now :( For those of you with bigger collections I can now understand why some pieces don't get wrist time with so many good choices to select from. I agree that the CSO looks great on every strap/bracelet out there and I am really looking forward to changing things up this coming summer! Here are two quick pictures of the Navi and CSO together :)
