Ceramic Daytona White v Black? Problem solved
I had my name on the waiting list for a ceramic Daytona the day they were announced at Basel in March 2016. Initially I wanted the white dial but slowly grew to love the black dial. I decided I would take whatever they offered me.
In October I got the call and purchased a black dial and I absolutely love it. To solve any lingering yearning for the white dial I have today bought a Breitling Airborne and it is a superb watch. It's on the military strap and I am going to buy a pilot bracelet for it very soon. IMG_1124.jpg

Looks great. Classic aviator chronograph. Both your watches complement them self and have their own personality.

Looks like you have been bitten by the Breitling bug. Breitlings have "X" factor that will draw you in and keep you. Took me awhile to embrace the brand but after I did I am wondering what took me so long. They are interesting watches that are impeccably built.

I've always had breitlings since 2003, that's when I was bitten but in recent years I've been more a Rolex buyer but I'm happier with just the one Rolex Daytona and the 2 Breitlings.

Wow, that was fast. Congrats. Classic chrono collection. The Breitling(s) being a 300M will also be a great diving watch.

The 41 is 300m but the 44 is actually 500m
