Rommel, I also got the bug for a planet ocean. Here's a pic of my 42 mm skyfall edition. Not 007. 8500 movement. I really like the watch. But just a little to thick at 16 mm.

Like the 42 mm Superocean much better.

It makes me wonder what tools or methods they use at Breitling. If the 7825 has different attachments it could potentially make this a lot easier for you.

I'm also considering getting my hands on one but will have to do a lot more research before moving ahead.

Very nice, Wayne! That's a great piece but I can see why the Breitling is your favourite. I was browsing mode listings for the Breitling you want next. The right piece will pop up soon enough, I'm sure. The more I look at the A13341 the clearer your interest becomes.

By no means am I trying to be overly critical, but I think the AD's comment about the watch not going to the grey market is completely blowing smoke. Breitling as a brand/manufacturer creates the issues that result in ADs trying to dump them, such as increasing AD minimum inventory amounts to 350K from 250K as well as constantly increasing garbage core watches. Keep in mind, I love Breitling, and most ADs fall into this pickle, hence they dump old watches to pick up new core... among many other reasons. Similar to other brands like Tag Heuer AD.

In regards to the watch itself, it looks FANTASTIC, love it, and excited to see people going crazy for them...
