Seriously.... What's the "right" depth rating for those desk divers?!?

This is true, Breitlings resale value is pants.. I had it for pure pleassure not to re-sell so its ok


Maybe you saw the quartz or maybe the colt quartz? I'm sure it could go for under 1K depending on age.

Fantastic trade/upgrade IMO. Never really liked the new Connie that much plus this is definitely more YOU Dino

Really suits you and can't wait to see it for real

Thanks Steve mate!

I gotta' agree, that connie was very much so a last minute decision. I have started to learn its not about the quantity, more so quality. Don't get me wrong the Omega was quality. But I feel with the Breitling I got more for my £££

I wonder if its as heavey as your blue one... well more than likely not but it will be close!

Beautiful piece Dino! Congratulations!

By the way...maybe you couldn't resist but it's not like somebody around would be able to tell you to refrain from buying a watch... Wear it in good health my friend!

Wow nice!

That's the nicest Breitling iv'e ever seen. Not usually a fan myself. I find the dials too busy, but that has a nice cleaner dial. Like it congrats Dino.

Very nice Dino.....the Omega was nice, but didn't seem "you", so, good trade!

I'm a little bummed, though, that you switched away from photobucket.....I was hoping you'd stick with it so I wouldn't have to see any more pictures of your Hulk!

I think that it is very nice ...Breitling are very well put together watches ...

However I would prefer the watch to have a bit less numbers and hash marks on the dial, so I am looking at the Seawolf as a future purchase myself ...
