Hi-

I am looking to buy a Colt for my wife. She likes the Oceane but I think it might be a little small at 33cm. On the main site I saw that there are a few other Colts, like the Quartz and the Quartz SQ, that are around 37-38cm. I think 40 or 41cm might be a little too large. Are there any Colts in the range of 37-38cm that have a white face? Any help/reference numbers would be greatly appreciated!

Essentially what I am looking for is an Oceane but bigger. Numbers on the dial and all.
Matt

That's a tough one. In new Breitlings I am not aware of any quartz models in the 37-38mm range. There were some older (pre-2006 I believe) chrono colts that ran about 38mm. They do make an automatic at 38mm, the SuperOcean Heritage 38, but they are more expensive.

Sorry,not much help :( .

Early Colt Auto had a white dial version if you can find one - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_160.html as did the late 90s Colt Quartz - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_106.html and the first generation SQ version - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_107.html

Thanks for the replies. I realized after the fact that I should have posted this in the Ladies Breitling thread instead of the general one.

Stensen, I like that Colt your girlfriend has, just need to find one with a white face...

There's a couple of older ones like this available on the 'bay':

May not be the dial your looking for, otherwise put up a WTB ad in the buy/sales forum here, never know?
