After a short stint being Breitling-less I can now safely say that I'll never be without a Breitling ever again as I've found my Breitling Keeper. I was able to land my Breitling grail at an unbelievable price from a local AD. I have always been a fan of the Olympus models; I previously owned a Montbrillant Olympus and Navitimer Olympus but in the back of my mind I really really wanted this one. The platinum bezel and cleaner dial (no slide rule) really sets this piece apart IMO.

Without further adieu.....The Mark VI Complications 19!!!!

WOW!!!!! I knew this model was out there, but seeing this is a whole other level. The platinum knurled bezel is just freaking awesome especially without a slide rule cluttering it up.

Very Nice pick up Serg!

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. Very happy to be back on the train. CHOOO CHOOO.

Yea the knurled platinum bezel adds such a great look without being too blingy if that makes any sense. I've only felt like this about two other watches; this one is really special for me.

Great watch, Sergio. If only Breitling could go back to introducing models just like your new acquisition.

Congrats!! Yeah.. Those mother of pearl markers are nice as is the raised convex crystal. That dial comes right through the crystal thanks the the double AR coating. I wish all manufactures used it on their crystals.

What color is that strap?

Thanks Pete. I have no clue what color the strap is...it's either brown, mocha, gold, camel, who knows but it looks pretty cool in person and very different from the other brown croc's that I've owned.

I thought it was just the lighting of the pic. That is awesome that it is a different color altogether. Do you think it is a special order or a DIY job? It looks very unique and matches the watch head perfectly.

I don't think it was a DIY job since the AD said it was a brand new strap. It was on a black strap and I had him change it to this one. Its not brown, it's not brugandy, it's definitely not camel, maybe it's gold? I really don't know but it looks really different from all the other ling straps that I have seen. Maybe Fear, Justin, or Roff would know what this color is....the tail says 738P....which I believe is gold.

According to the Breitling sales hand book,738p is a GOLD 22/20mm croc deployant strap.
