2006 Breitling Colt Automatic II

hey everyone, i havent had a chance to post anything about my watch but i have had it for about 2 weeks now and i would like to say a few words about it.

i think its amazing, i love it. its fast about 5 seconds in 2 days which is good i think. i will take some pics and post them and try to get in a better review other than this. my advice is go and buy one.

its an amazing watch, it looks good and gets a lot of comments and praises. it just feels good on my wrist. ill try and post the pics up by tomorrow.

straps / bracelet

Did it originally come with leather strap or did it come with the professional bracelet?

Good price... did you haggle? That 6% GST should save you SOME $.

Nice watch. I also live in Toronto. Markham to be more exact.
Which LaSwiss did you go to? Eaton Centre?

I bought my Colt GMT in the states. I bought it with the SS fighter bracelet but bought a Breitling buffalo leather strap from LaSwiss at the Eaton centre. I prefer it on the fighter bracelet. Now they come with the proffessional bracelet which I think is all high polish?
I just made a post about trading my Breitling and throwing some cash in to upgrade to a Rolex Explorer 1, but now that I look at my colt gmt I simply love it too much :)) Maybe I'll buy myself a diamond bracelet from zoneice.com

hahaha

Great watch, consistancy is the most important thing with mechanical watches,even if a watch was running 5 minutes a day fast or slow as long as it was consistant.Its still a very accurate watch,and just need simple regulation to bring it back to COSC spec.

nice! Ive had a colt chronograph for about 10 years, and it has been great... it is a battery powered watch though, but as my first "real watch" it will always have a spot in my heart and holds huge sentimental value
