I can honestly say, I can see what attracted you to that watch. It is very nice but then again, it's not a Rolex. I'm nt a big fan of Breitling but I must admit that one is nice.

Your Xwind
Hey JJ
Excellent photo's mate. That one shot of the watch side on is awesome. Looks like a Klingon Battle Cruiser! How thick is it? (mm) With that kind of metal finish, I guess you'll be busy polishing it with a jewellers cloth every 24hrs What model Camera do you have? Steve |

I'm proud of you, JJ. You are at least giving it a chance. The more you wear it, the more you're going to like it, I bet. And it is a great looking watch, especially with the Romans. And it has one thing the Daytona is lacking - a date window.

It's 15.5 mm thick and 43 mm in diameter. It's one heavy mother - 186 grams (less one link which I've taken off from the '6' side), but the bracelet is also quite thick, all solid links and well balanced to take the weight of the watch (107.7 grams), The all polished metal is a bugger, but certainly has a lot of flash. You should see it bling away in bright sunlight!! I use a NIKON Coolpix 4300, 4 mp in "macro" mode.

Great watch JJ! Only Breitling can bring the intricacies of a fine aviator's watch
I've always been a Breitling fan myself. I think they are busy and unique. Truly an instrument for professionals I hope you keep that one JJ. I know I'm keeping mine. Let's celebrate 2006 with our Breitlings |
