Why choose Breitling over a Rolex ? This is what my kid told me he's 27. Rolex are for old men, Breitling are for every man . He told me this after I bought a Rolex Daytona !

Great deal if you can get it for that. The Deepsea is a way better watch IMO...... and I currently own an SA.

To me, the Daytona is the direction I would have expected Breitling to have evolved toward, not the direction they are currently headed. This is my latest desire.

Good luck and post pictures!! That'a a brave move -- being watch-less!

I said that I'd sell a couple of my Omegas to go towards my SubC but haven't done it yet and it's been a month. I have a very hard time parting with my watches.

To me that's a good move. Much easier to pick up another SA, and lately I have been thinking about that myself. Have a black bentley and think a white SA would compliment it well.

Congrats and wear it in good health. :D As they say, the only thing constant in life is change. You can always sell the DSSD when you get tired and bored with it and buy SA's again. :)
