The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Since we are coming to the end of this year (and unless there is some surprise for you under the christmas tree ) what was your best or favourite purchase this year?

Well, I only bought one watch and I am still very happy with the Blackbird.

Looking for a white-dialled watch in the near future but can't make up my mind yet.

Breitling Windrider Blackbird

Steelfish with black dial and PRO II Bracelet/OR Strap
The AS Blacksteel was my favourite, but I have to say that overall the Steelfish has more appeal.
Best Wishes for the Holidays,

Two additions this year (so far!) - my Monty and my favorite which is my Blue Faced B-1. Mint non-SQ and £800 with full history, COSC, Box etc.

Got it on the Fighter bracelet but have added a blue sharkskin deployant (thanks to Doc Diesel) and a blue galuchat (stingray) band too.

I know a lot of people believe that a quartz has no soul etc etc but this is a truely magnificent and striking watch - ask any B-1 owner.

Any way enough of that - Happy Holidays to everyone on the forums and a special thanks to Nelson for his hard work over the year and also to the 2 mods who contribute a great deal to the site. Thanks Roff & D8.

LEARNING.......EVERY DAY

This could be dangerous for me, because it could involve admitting quite a lot, so let's just say......

The one I'm about to buy

My SA Blue old syle dial on Pro II. traded straight across. BNIB W/Papers. I never thought I would like the girth of a SA but I am sold.

A few others too.

Roff,

That's a cop-out! Come on, what's your favourite purchase
this year? Or one of your favorite purchases? Remember, it's
Christmas, and Santa would not want you to fib. At any
rate, happy holidays.

Steve

PS -- My favorite purchase this year has to be The Great Steelfish.

Not a cop out - more paranoia. I am about to buy one, and it will be my favourite, just playing it close until the deal is done.

Maybe it's just me, but choosing a favourite seems almost like betrayal of the others - kind of like choosing a favourite child

Sorry, Roff, didn't mean to pressure you. You're
probably right about the kid business, too. Anyway, enjoy
the holidays.

Steve

My favorite purchase this year was a White dialed SA with Baton Markers. I love this watch and always get compliments when wearing it. I hope this coming year to be able to acquire a montbrilliant Olympus, the whole perpetual calendar concept is of interest to me these days. Merry Christmas to everyone and thanks to all who have contributed to this forum. I really enjoy learning more about Breitling watches.

I'll go out on a limb and say it might be from a brand that starts with a Z?

Nope!

Still desperately want that, but the money doesn't make sense to me right now - a 25% increase when the economy is tanking just doesn't sit well with me. I am therefore spending too much on something else - all will be revealed before the end of the year - I promise.

This must be the LE you were talking about

I really tried to choose which one of the two B´s I got that was my fave, and I can´t decide. I love them both equally. Its like with the children...

And there is a small possibility that there will be a third one coming before this year ends... we´ll see...

Now I´ll get back to sipping my xmas Quarter Cask Laphroaig, enjoy the feeling of total relaxation and maybe peek at my wrist occasionally, thinking back on a GREAT year when it comes to watches, music and life in general.

I hope 2009 will be even better. And that goes for all of you BS´s people!

God jul!

Sorry lads but it was my Rolex Datejust I did try and close a couple of deals on a nice Breitling but nothing came of it

However, come March I will have paid of my credit card and will have money to buy the Navi I want ( well I have my eye on 2 )

There has been too many watches this year, I think. I believe 5 new watches entered the collection as others were phased out. I entered the year with the intention to get either a Navi World or a Navi Montbrillant Legende, and I'm still very pleased with my Legende. During the year it has been great company through many special occasions.
