Hey guys, new to the board! Anyways, today I upgraded from my SA to a new B4B 6.75. I noticed there's not much talk on the board about the 6.75, I mean it is a nice watch right? Or are we just the red headed step child of the Breitling family? Let me know what you guys think of my new purchase. Be honest, I have thick skin lol :lingsrock:

I think there's quite a few 6.75's here, although now you mention it there's not been too much chat about them lately. I have one myself - nice watch.

I also have one and like it a lot. You have to keep in mind a combination of the price and size really limits the interest, not to mention all those who just aren't a fan to begin with.

Yes, I guess that makes sense. I'm sure that style and size isnt for everybody. I guess I just wanted to learn more about my new upgrade lol

I always view my Galactic 41 as the red-headed step-child of the Breitling family....oh well, it makes us unique!

I definitely enjoy mines. The size may not be for everyone though.

Its beaut, but like all classic models its faded into darkness with the introduction of all the next-gen caca.

I enjoy mine as well, although I find it hard to take off my SOH 125th on the ocean racer. It's just such a beauty.

To move up to that price point, I need an emergency locator beacon in it.

I'm a little annoyed with myself. I bought my 6.75 which don't get me wrong, I love it. But I decided that now I want the GMT. I went back to the dealer to see if he would let me return it and pay the difference for the GMT and he said no because I wore it already. I shoulda really did more homework before pulling the trigger. I am still happy though.

you really are better off with the 6.75. the integrated bracelet on the GMT is gross IMO. it really limits your strap options.
