The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi Guys

Im looking for a watch for my 30th birthday

I have seen this watch, what are peoples thoughts of it? This will be my first proper watch

Thanks

Personally I like it. I'm sure it has been discussed in other threads here in the forum. It may be worth to try a forum search.

Personally I love it and will be buying this or the new colt next month. I was after a seawolf but the case depth is too much for me, this has the same dial style that attracted me to the new avenger line to begin with but in a much more wearable size.

The only thing I don't like is the polished bracelet, so I'm either looking into having it brushed from day 1 or more likely I will buy without the bracelet and get it on a pro-3 strap with push button clasp. I've never been a fan of bracelets and wear watches on rubber or leather mainly so this is no hardship for me.

In the flesh it is a great looking, solid feeling watch and is a nice size for those with smaller wrists. It comes in various dial styles so find an AD and try some on.

I love it. I think they got the proportions just right on this one. If I has the funds, I would be adding something from the avenger 2 series to my collection.

I love this model, and would look great on a diver pro 3 or even a brown calf strap.

Great piece and I really like the Gmt feature.

I haven't seen one in the metal, but considering this as your one (and only, for now) nice watch, it gets so much right.

--black dial, probably best for your main watch
--stainless bracelet, you can always get straps later if you want
--GMT function, a nice complication to have
--large enough to be substantial, but thin enough to fit under shirt sleeves.

My first "nice" watch was a pre-owned Rolex GMT. It worked with everything. This reminds me of it in many ways. Good luck.

I purchased an Avenger but never quite got to grips with it. I part E/X for a Superocean Heritage and haven't looked back!

There you go. Wristshot for you:
