Hi all,

I'm looking for a Breitling Airwolf and wondered if there's anything I should take into consideration about this particular model before purchase?

Anyone already own one and want to share their experience of the watch?

I've found three I particularly like:

http://www.deliciouswatches.co.uk/index ... tchid=2311

http://www.globalwatchmarket.com/Watchf ... 673.aspx?1

Any comments on them would be welcome!

Thanks!

If you want to change between bracelet and strap, it's cheaper to buy it with bracelet and buy strap after, than vice versa.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY FROM DELICIOUS WATCHES!!

I placed an order with them, was given several failed delivery dates then after cancelling the order had to wait for over 1 month for a refund so in total they had my money for 2 months.

Apart from that, nice watch, enjoy it when you get it!!

I like the sunburst on steel, though it would be nice if you also had a leather and rubber strap as well for different occasions ;)

I've had mine for 2 yrs. Great watch, I use every feature nearly every day. Mine is the silver starburst on a pro 2. Very dressy watch but looks & is tough as well. The minute hand on this model can be awkward to read occasionally at night as the lume is only at the tip. The minute hand was changed on the pin strip model, but I don't rate this design as well as the original. The best of both worlds would be a solid lume hand on the starburst face(looks like a turbine from in front & behind. Apart from that, a fine watch which attracts comments all the time which has useful features. One last thing, my battery needed replacing after 18mths of continual use.(needed the pressure test anyway). Hope this helps cheers.

OK, then I would try www.bankslyon.co.uk for a quote speak to Aziza, or if you are around Southampton/Hampshire try Parkhouse & Wyatt in Southampton, speak to Jeremy. I've had very good deals from both recently.

Hmm

Consider the new dial?

Because it is, in my opinion, an easier to read watch face.

Simple but true.
