Nice collection. It looks like MOP, but I think they made MOPs only in white gold.

I think you're right about only being gold bnewbie. To me the colour of the dial looks too even to be MOP, I think the tint to the top picture is the AR coating.

Very nice piece jac-in-a-box, and a nice collection you're assembling - just needs a few more Breitlings :lol:

Very nice, and like Roff says a couple of extra Beritlings would make the collection even better!

I like the Crosswind - apart from the italic numbers on the dials I'm afraid. Just doesn't float my boat - apart from that, very nice :)

I'd agree regarding the MOP, but that in no way detracts from what is a beautiful looking watch! Great crisp pictures too! :thumbsup:

wow, earlier today I thought the baton wasnt tempted enough to have my money. Now im quite certain about purchasing one myself.

This is not good, especially not when the holidays are around the corner and my wifes having a baby.

I will get a grip, stop drawling and focus!!!!!

Everytime i wake up, my morning ritual will be; No more watches. Amen

This has become a disease, it is not fair! :- (

I like the IWC alot, Omega is always a classic, and that Crosswind is sharp looking.
