Just a few pics I took of the Crosswind today....getting used to the watch now....the Chrono has been sometimes stopped, sometimes running, but all in all, quite an enjoyable watch!!

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.

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?

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.

Great photos JJ, but as far as the watch is concerned:

Me no like.

Hi Steve,

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.

But still, not as much bling in the bright sunshine as what reflects off that melon of yours.

True...but only on those days when I use "Turtle Wax" on top!!!

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

ralphieralph · 11 January 2006, 10:33 AM

Try a little paint or bright red nail polish. Works every time.

Nothing symbolizes the brand's mastery of complications like yours! You're in RR!

2006 will be the year of the Breitling.

All we need are Breitling T-shirts and caps.
