Hi.

Didn't know what a Breitling was until December 2011. Before then I was wearing a few different invictas :oops: . In December I quit my job in hospitality and took a job working for a large estate buying company so I started buying high end watches on a weekly basis and thought Breitlings were the nicest ones I was seeing (every one that came in looked great).

Bought my a53035 Colt Chono Quartz online last week and it finally arrived today. No box or papers but it looks good to me (hopefully to you too)...

The only issue I have is that the subdial at 2 o'clock doesn't reset as it should and the chronometer resets to 1 tick before 12. I read that on a quartz watch it will need to be serviced to have it repaired unlike an automatic that can fix itself over time. I think for now I'll live with the chronometer being off (I can always just pause it at the 12 right?) and the subdial at 2 isn't going to kill me.

Overall I think this watch is great looking - just wish I'd known how small it is, I'd prefer 3-5mm bigger dial but it is what it is.

So happy to be a high-end watch owner (even if it is the low-end of high-end :nana: )

Your Chrono Colt is the successor to my Shark - a fine watch! Here's how to re-set the hands...
