Trust me, I know how fortunate (or stupid) I am.

Deposit paid - it's gorgeous, and will be coming home with a Speed and a blue croc.

Knowing my willpower photos will be posted in about 6 weeks :lol:

So it lived up to expectations then Roff? Excellent news my man! :thumbsup:

By the way - 6 weeks???? If your procrastination with this one is anything like it was with your Legende we'll be still asking for pics of it in January! :wink: :lol:

(Still, I guess we can give a little latitude considering your 2 "specials" that I take it haven't sold yet?)

I'll have you know the Legende was about 10 weeks!!!

It really is a great piece - it has a very 'shallow' look which contrasts nicely with some of hte deep watches I have - like the Blacksteel for example.

The strap really gives it a different look and the blue looks like it was made for the blue dial - a perfect match.

The other two are still available, but working on a couple of things - so move quick if anyone wants them :lol:

It's a great looking watch, it really is. If it was a more usual Bentley size (46 - 48mm-ish) I'd be clamouring for one myself. The movement is brilliant.

I know what's going to happen now - I'll see your pics on the blue croc and I'll be gutted I ever sold my blue Navi World!

I have a birthday coming up later this month so was going to pick it up for that. Now Mrs. Roff has decided that she needs, of all things a loom!!!

I mean for freaks sake are we moving to the 19th century here???

So apparently good little husband is going to be spending $5,000 on a piece of outdated technology that can be done today by a computer chip for a fraction of the cost.

Oh, hang on, I can see some parallels there.......

I am not allowed to buy any more until the 19 is paid for so I don't think it will be too much longer.

Am I the only person that thinks the blue on blue Complications 19 is just incredible?

Maybe I've finally lost my mind completely.... :?


You haven't lost your mind. You just have a level of impeccable
taste that most people lack. Blue on blue is absolutely gorgeous!
Go with your heart -- and to hell with what anyone else thinks! :lol:

Look at it from the bright side... With Mrs Roff spending multiple hours on the loom when it arrives, there's plenty of time/room for you to endulge in watch porn...

Good luck with both the loom and the 19!

Great combo, Roff. Congrats.

Yeah, I've been playing around with it as well. Why isn't this on the English site? In fact why isn't this on the regular Breitling site? Whoa, I Just went to the main site and am now playing with all the other models.

http://www.breitling.co.jp/fitting/

I never even considered the Bently now after a few combinations, I really like the 19 with the blue dial and blue croc strap.

Can't wait to see the pics.

I just looked at the combo again - makes me think I need to take a little trip to the AD - how can I still be living without this?????

It's strange, it was never a watch that I had really considered - just couldn't imagine spending that much on a watch to wear, but I got such a great deal I just couldn't turn it down. It went from a watch that I hadn't given any thought to into a watch I couldn't live without in about 2 days.

Of course now there's another watch I can't live without thanks to Driver8, but that one's going to be a harder sell to Mrs. Roff for a while..........

I love blue watches, but when I spend that much money on a watch I think I would go more conservative.. but that's me. It does look really amazing though.. the blue really catches your eye.


Exactly, just my thinking.

Roff that is indeed an AMAZING watch, my grail Breitling. The silver on black croc with white stiching, forget about it!!!
