The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi everyone

Came across this site a little while ago while trying to find some information on a potential Breitling purchase. Gave me all the gen I needed to make my my 2nd Breitling purchase...thanks!

My first Breitling buy was made in the late 90's an Aerospace Repetition Minutes. Really was a poor purchase and an impulse buy that I came to regret within a few weeks.
While beautifully made, I couldn't "get-on" with the lightness of Ti watches and it pretty much sat around unloved and unworn until it was recently re- homed

Since then a variety of watches have accumulated from Omega, Rolex and IWC mainly but I could never be attracted to any of the Breitling models until 6 months ago when I saw a picture of a White faced (Mother-of-Pearl?) Crosswind Special on a Pilot bracelet and the hunt began.
Eventually I found a close to new condition model from 2000 with all the paperwork and packaging - the deal was done and I came away a very happy chappie.
A really substantial piece and the Pilot bracelet is one of the nicest bracelets I've come across - the dial is gorgeous; the watch, in my eyes at least and despite the "brightness" is quite subtle.

The bug has got me! Last week I picked up a 2007 Superocean on a Pro2 bracelet. White faced with blue sub dials - another lovely piece that wears so comfortably.

Some sort of flavour of Navitimer is next on the horizon I think - maybe Santa will be good to me!

Anyway, great forum and a great resource and I look forward to learning and contributing as I go along

Link to a few pictures - Superocean phots will be a little later on

Looking forward to see CSO photos.

Welcome to the forums, and it's good to see that you've fallen back in love with Breitling.

Any ideas which Navi will work for you?

Thanks for the welcome



I thought I had a vague idea until I started doing a little ferreting around...cannot believe how many variations there are to choose from over the years!

Must be on a bracelet and will be pre-owned. No bigger than 44/45mm no smaller than 40mm and I'm really not sure about the dial...still, it'll be a fine way of idling away a few hours "educating" myself

Congrats and welcome back to Breitling

Welcome. I have really started to gain interest in the Montbrillant Olympus. I like the idea of having such a complicated movement. Good luck with your Navitimer search.
