My first Breitling..
My first Breitling...waited a long time for this. Not just because of cost, heck I've spent far too much on watches & flipping over the years. I essentially traded a Tag Heuer Aquaracer automatic & a Tudor Classic for this one. It was a matter of finding the one I really wanted, that fit me and I would keep. I wanted the Super Quartz in this case, the brushed bracelet and 41mm case size. I looked at the new Colt 44 and despite being glad to see they brought back the Breitling rider tab bezel, the size was wrong, the case back was blah and the bracelet did not seem as nice, though I could be wrong about that last point. I looked at a lot of Colt's and found one on the secondary market that not only came from an AD, it was also just sent in last month to Breitling for a service, so I knew it was authentic. Need to say thank you to Erik from Radcliffe Jewelers for this one, LOVE IT!

And, if you need any encouragement about the Explorer, take it from me - it is a terrific watch. Had it been my first Rolex it might have been my only.
