I have 2 Breitlings in my collection...Navitimer and Chronomat Evolution. Need to add another Rolex to keep the balance.

I've had numerous Breitlings, the only one I keep coming back to is the Aerospace Avantage.

Even if you are a Rolex lover, you've got to have at least one Breitling.

I have a Breitling Superocean Heritage 44 Chronograph and a Rolex Submariner 114060.
Surprisingly, the Breitling gets a lot positive comments from people who aren't really into watches. Must be the shark mesh bracelet.

I recently bought the superocean II 44m in blue. Love it, no complaints. Sure it doesn't exactly go with my rolexes but i'm digging it. Diversity is great for any collection.

I have one of each.

Also have two Balls, with a third Ball on the way.

Next two up will be a Rolex Explorer II (black face) and 2016 IWC Pilot's Chronograph. Not sure in what order.

2 Breitlings here. I am thinking of selling my Super Avenger, Breitling doesn't really have anything like Rolex, so it's nice to have a little bit of diversity in my little humble collection.

First Luxury watch was Breitling Colt Chronometer automatic i purchased 2 months ago. Its already in for service since it was running 8+ sec/day fast.

Owned in the past several Breitling watches besides the "core" Rolex watch(es).
My current SO wears very comfortable.

GMT-ville. Both are in my regular rotation. The SO wears bigger although it is only 1mm larger, but the bracelet is way more comfortable. I also think the design contributes to the illusion of greater size. People must think I'm "ob-comp" about time and schedules because I look at my wrist over and over. Actually, I'm ob-comp about timePIECES!!

For sure. A vintage Navitimer is one of the most stunning chronographs ever made, huge case for its era, amazing dial and you get the Venus column wheel movement which some watchmakers consider the finest chronograph movement of the era. These watches are a pretty good value vintage buy too and if you go for a more unusual Cosmonaute you get an even more quirky watch that is almost impossible to use to tell the time!

I currently have 3 rolex, 1 jlc, 3 omega if you count my wife's, 1 marathon, 1 seiko, and one breitling. I do love my Navitimer but hate the lack of a quick set date. Were it not for that it would see FAR more wrist time.
