I’m a large enough person that the Sky-Dweller handles Datejust duties just fine. The WG with black dial reminds me of all the things I loved about my DD2 (matte grey dial, Arabics, gold) in a watch I like more than the DD. I’ll probably put my stainless sky on a jubilee to contrast.

Everything on my radar is a long ways off but hopefully a bit closer considering some of the recent posts here. At least I’d like to thinks so considering I have been waiting a while.

Daytona white or green dial
Pepsi
Batgirl
Ap ro or roc
Vco
Nautilus variant again
Aquanaut
Exp2 polar

Who knows how long it will be for even one of these to come in. I don’t have much faith in these lists.

I’m looking at trading a few pieces for a DD II Platinum Ice Blue Roman numerals.

I’m waiting a while since prices are on the crazy side at present

Wow Lee! Nice pick up. That's a brutal wait. I'm guessing you'll be at your AD just as they open to collect it. Post some pics when you get it!

Sounds like an across the board upgrade. Man, the Sky-Dweller is such a cool piece. I had a shot at my AD for a two tone Sky-Dweller a couple of years ago and massively regret not picking it up. It had amazing wrist presence.

What’s the “wr?”

I’ve looked at these twice recently and lost my mind over the mint dial.

Ultimately went with this as I thought it’s the more classic GS.
I can see myself adding a 9ra2 GS in the future as a daily though.

Am hoping to get either a BLRO or Daytona this year.
With no prior spend history.
See you in next year’s thread I guess

That blue NT is gorgeous. I have a Super Chronomat and it feels like a tank mixed with a range rover. It's size prevents it from being a one watch collection but man is it well built and cool. People are asleep on all these amazing breitlings right now.

Water resistance, I’ve had issues with a 30m watch before…

Otherwise I’m with you, these are amazing watches. The mint is a stunner. They all are frankly…

Ahhhh water resistance...of course. Dang, just too many great watches out there. 5 years ago I sort of liked a couple of Breitlings. There are about 10 that are outstanding now. Their turn around has been impressive.

Completely agree. The Chronomat’s are really impressive. Here’s a few Breitling’s I’ve looked at recently.

Racing chronometer Speedmaster 44.25mm. i have to say coming from the simplicity of the Rolex line up, get a handle on the Omega line up is bit of work. They have some interesting offerings.

Fun colored OP 41.
