The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello everybody this is my first post but I'm a long time lurker.

I'm very happy to tell you guys that today I pulled a trigger on a Chronomat Flying Fish! The AD told me that they should have it in around 20 days. when I get it i'll make sure to upload a bunch of pictures.

I bought it as a present for myself after graduating from college, I worked my butt off to save up even though I didnt know by the time I started saving what watch I wanted. The choices I had in my mind were a Omega Planet Ocean Ti LM, IWC ingenieur ME, Pam 312 and the Flying Fish. I was going back and forth between these watches and by the time i saw the FF in person I fell in love. not only that but thinking again I couldnt convince myself on the other watches, first the PO didnt "scream" at me when I saw it, the IWC Ingy bored me after a while, the pam 312 is not my grail pam so i was afraid I would end up trading it soon or regreting not getting the one I really wanted (pam 233 wil have to wait). And then the Breitling FF, it surpassed all my expectations heart and brain wise: size, heft, water resistance,in house movement, brushed finish, quality, strap versatility etc. I can't see the square that the new chronomats have in the dial even though it never bothered me, i really like the buckified font in the brushed bezel and well what more can I say, I really LOVE it.

I'm from Mexico and I live in Playa del Carmen which is in the caribbean so I wanted to have a diver in my small collection so this watch will be seeing intensive use in the ocean, just how it is supposed to

So then again I'll upload pics as soon as I get it!
Until then
Saludos

Sick piece. Congrats on that and graduating. How's the Caribbean? We own some property in St Thomas...can't wait to go again in 2013.

I've never been in St. Thomas but a friend of mine told me it was gorgeous, the ocean in the caribbean is crystal clear as always! Have a great time when u go back.
